I will admit, I was a little intimidated walking into my first Jiu Jitsu class. I had zero prior…read moremartial arts experience, and as a woman in my mid-40s, I felt a little out of place. But everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was fun and encouraging so I kept going back. I've been training for a little over a year now and I absolutely love it. It's not at all what I expected. Jiu Jitsu is equal parts physical and mental and allows me to clear my head and stay in the present moment like nothing I've ever experienced. It's like an amazing workout paired with a couple hours of meditation. There is an endless amount to learn which keeps it interesting. And while I didn't start because I wanted to learn self-defense, I walk with a little more confidence knowing I could defend myself in a real world situation if I ever needed to. There are lots of great instructors, each with their own unique teaching style. The head instructor, Richard Giberson, is a black belt under Relson Gracie. He is super talented, funny and truly wants to help his students learn and progress. If you're curious about Jiu Jitsu, I highly recommend coming to a class and checking it out. Great instructors, great group of students, and an all around awesome school. 6pm Wednesday is a "Fundamentals" class. It's only a hour and is geared toward beginners and people working on getting better at the basics!

We came in for an intro class which was 30 min one on one with the instructor. The instructor was very patient with my stubborn son and got him excited to come back for class the next day. The following day, class was an hour long. Started off with stretching and warm ups, then taught them several techniques. It was soooo adorable seeing all the children yelling "Kia!" and "Yes, Sir!" You can tell they were all having a great time! At the end of class they gave all the children Popsicles for being good students. I'm hoping my son will want to stay! If this continues to go well, I might even take up a couple classes! ;)

Jeff teaches a mixture of Jeet Kun Do, Ju Jitsu, Boxing, Muy Thai, and other art forms that yields a very practical and effective style of fighting.

By my second class I had purchased some 16oz boxing gloves which I use for working the heavy bag. I already feel more confident and love the ability to channel my stress to a great sport. Sifu Jeff is very humble, patient, kind, and encouraging instructor and I can't recommend Parra Academny enough.

The group of people I work out and go to classes with is a great group of guys, everyone they have teaching classes is very knowledgeable, and they're good at helping everyone get better regardless of their belt level. I also like the fact they have open mats here almost every Sunday afternoon at 3pm, and they also offer a free BJJ street combative class as well to all their members that are looking to learn self defense for the streets in real life. Their prices are also reasonable, and it's a great team culture here too. Definitely recommend this place.

They have an insane selection of toys. Cars, musical instruments, trucks, dolls, pretend food. They have an outside area with a beautiful playhouse, chalk, the coolest trampoline I've ever seen, and giant blocks. The endless activities aren't the only thing that sets figment apart. The teachers there are so kind and happily play with the kiddos. Lastly, and probably my favorite part of this place, there's so many animals! They've got cats, goats, a guinea pig, a bunny, a tortoise (I think lol), and birds. My son always puts up a fight to leave! Figment is our favorite place to go when we don't know what to do.

We have attended the toddler group several times. There are several different activities set up and the children can pick their preferred activity.

The best part is the different animals. There are three miniature goats that are very gentle with the children and very mischievous too. There is also Lizzo the lizard, a bunny, some hamsters, chickens, and Origami the cat. The staff is phenomenal and very encouraging and loving with the children. There are different classes for different age groups and there is an option to have an art teacher come to your home and do some activities with your child. I recommend this to anyone who has a child that is looking for fun, safe, educational, and exciting activities!
