URSA Academy - Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Ann Arbor is a family-owned and operated Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Youth Self Defense & Martial Arts Academy. The academy is led by Kris Magers, a third-degree Black Belt professor and head of the midwest headquarters for the world-renowned "Ribeiro Jiu Jitsu" association. This means that students can expect the best instruction, with proven methods, effective techniques, and practical drilling in a diverse training environment. The academy welcomes men, women, teens, and kids aged 5 and above, with programs and classes available for all ages and ability levels, from beginners to world champions. The atmosphere is positive and supportive, with a strong emphasis on safety and mutual respect. The facility is clean, and the staff is excellent, creating a strong family atmosphere. Students have praised the academy for its welcoming environment and the helpfulness of the coaching staff. The "free" fundamentals course is an excellent way to get started, and the classes are taught at a steady pace, ensuring that students are neither left behind nor overwhelmed. The academy has a mutual understanding of not getting injured, with no big egos and a shared recognition that everyone is learning together. It is worth noting that the academy can be pricey, and there are some limitations on attending open mat sessions from other gyms and wearing approved gi colors. However, the overall consensus is that the academy is an excellent place to train, providing an effective way to release stress and learn valuable skills in a supportive and positive environment.
