URSA Academy - Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Ann Arbor

“Clean spacious facility. Welcoming front staff. Head coach is humble and approachable. Excellent high-level technique taught in an way that is organized & easy-to-grasp. Training partners are supportive, receptive, & conscientious. Female friendly. Lots of higher belts to train with. My only disappointment is that this gym is not in my home town!”

“Dropped in at Ursa a few months back and had a really great experience. Great facility and instructors and students of all skill levels. Would highly recommend this gym to anyone who’s looking to train or learn BJJ in Ann Arbor.”

“URSA is an incredible place for those who are both looking to start their jiu jitsu journey, as well as for those who are more experienced and want to learn at a high level. As someone who never did any real sports before training at URSA, I was welcomed into a supportive environment where I met wonderful people, some of who have become life long friends. I trained at URSA for a bit over 2 years and I am proud to say that I earned my Blue belt there. The level of jiu jitsu that is taught is extremely high level, and I have had great results using what I learned in competitions. Even now, as I have moved across the country and have started at a new gym, I find myself able to compete with high level training partners, and am able to hold my own. To me, this proves that the jiu jitsu that is taught works under pressure and has provided so many benefits to my life. I’m super grateful to have been able to start my journey at URSA, and look forward to coming back to visit!”

“Jiu Jitsu is mandatory, like toothbrushing. These skills and lessons touch every aspect of your life in a positive way. Whether you’re afraid of trying it, or not, you’ll receive its benefits either way. Kris and Amy have created a thriving local institution. Check them out, today!”

“Stopped in to train while I was in town for work. Professor Kris had really insightful techniques and the training was great. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Stop in if you’re visiting or live in Ann Arbor.”
