This is a great family-friendly gym--the kids classes always seem to be having fun and the adult classes are very beginner-friendly and chill while still providing a good workout and helping you develop your skills. If you're nervous about coming for the first time, don't be--everyone is always happy to see a new face!
Professor Bruno and Nicole provide top notch instruction. This is our family thing! It provides stucture and fun. The people who also attend FFFA are wonderful.
One big family is the best description for the academy and welcoming to new people who want to learn and practice the art/sport. It has impacted the life's of many in such a positive way. Don't hesitate to walk in just do it, I'm glad I did.
New to BJJ? Start at Ferreira Family Fight Academy: mma, brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, Ukiah
Ferreira Family Fight Academy: mma, brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, Ukiah comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Ferreira Family Fight Academy: mma, brazilian jiu jitsu, kickboxing, muay thai, boxing, Ukiah
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
