I entered the gym in June of 2012, and expected to be a black belt in a couple of years, and to…read morejust train a couple times a week. At the time I weighed about 225 lbs, and had started my fitness program at home and lost about 10 lbs in 6 months, now I'm less interested in the outward belt promotion, my primary concern is not just getting the black belt which takes much longer then I realized, but to instead live a healthy lifestyle and to continuously improve in every aspect of my life. My relationships are healthier, i have a batch of like minded friends, and I'm happier in every aspect of my life. I presently weight 190 lbs, I've taken more then 15% body fat off, I can run, I weight train, supplemental yoga, I train kettle bells and am stronger now then ever before in my life despite being an accomplished athlete in high-school. My confidence has improved, I've grown in humility, I am less stressed, and I have something to look forward to 4 nights a week and I attend 4-5 practices a week. There is no way to fully express how grateful i am for the oppurtunity to train in this environment, and how much happier I am as a person. I am confident that the Gracie Barra Burton is not only the best organization in this region but also the state, and I promise that for committed individuals wishing to pursue a healthier lifestyle, and to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu will be pleased!

I agreed to check-out URSA with a friend who wanted to try kickboxing. We jumped on deal of 3…read morekickboxing classes for $19.99 that came with a free pair of boxing gloves (bring your own hand wraps if you want them). They sent us a document to read beforehand that outlined the the different punches we would need to know for class - jab, cross, hook, and uppercut. Upon arriving at URSA, the atmosphere was lively and friendly. All of the staff were very kind and personable and gave us a tour through the club. I do not have children, but they had a nice kid area that seemed quite catering to parents. This club is family owned and there is a real sense of community here. The kickboxing area was quite large and contained several freestanding bags on thick mats. What I really liked was that you don't wear shoes! The kickboxing classes were 45 minutes long and consisted of a warm-up (jogging, jumping jacks, lunges, etc.), followed by six, 3-minute rounds of kickboxing, and wrapped up with a cool down and stretches. You can go at your own pace and the instructor is very encouraging and helpful. You'll definitely get a good, solid workout! At several points during the workout, we would team up with someone else from the class and do exercises with them. There are people of all ages, sizes, and gender participating in the class. The atmosphere was very social and everyone cheered one another on - you're in it together! At the end of each of the classes they took a group photo, which reinforced the social and community dynamic. They had several sign-up deals and talked them over with us after we completed our first classes.The membership fees were on par with other boxing clubs. For those who are beginning or are curious about kickboxing, the $19.99 for 3 kickboxing classes and free gloves deal is incredibly hard to beat. It's a good opportunity to see if you like kickboxing before committing to a membership. I found the kickboxing classes here to be slightly less intense and more laid back than ones at Title Boxing, which is great for a beginners, shy folks, and those (like me) who are starting out not in the best shape. I really wish I would've known about URSA sooner. I would recommend this for anyone interested in trying kickboxing. I think it's a super-friendly and non-intimidating place, perfect for those starting out. I had a great time during my kickboxing classes and will miss the URSA family!

I've been trying to get my account canceled for months (due to my work schedule, I'm unable to…read moreattend and they're closed during my off time). They claim it's no problem to cancel or freeze your account at anytime. I spoke with jay back in august and he assured me I'd receive a refund, yet I never received a refund. My account was never canceled because I "didn't fill out a form"they claim they keep sending that I'm not receiving. I've called countless times at all hours of the day never to reach the receptionist. Finally.. after a week of coordinating with them through Facebook messenger and almost a thousand wasted dollars later, my account was canceled. I don't recommend this place, it's a cash grab at best. ***Edit 1 hour later*** URSA Academy - Ribeiro Jiu-Jitsu Ann Arbor (Owner) 53 minutes ago Charles, if we have an email from you with your cancellation, we'll refund any charge that took place after that. We have had an issue with our website not forwarding our emails. If you can forward those emails to this email address: ursareception@gmail.com , we'll get it taken care of for you. We've been in business far too long to be a "cash grab." I assure you, we simply haven't received anything from you. I'll personally be watching the email for your response. Thank you. ************** My response is : As stated, I never received a form from you until reaching out via Facebook (a week ago) and having it sent to my girlfriend's email address. So you HAVE in fact received a cancellation form, because I was just notified ON FACEBOOK (of all places) that they have received my cancellation and have canceled my account (days after sending it). They have also stated over Facebook messenger that you don't offer refunds, even though Jay gave me his word in august that I would receive one, but now you're telling me you do offer one. So it seems like I'm being lied to, and my situation is being swept under the rug. Bottom line - Jay was well aware of the situation in august (he was assigned to me after all) and instead of helping you just milk my account until I make a big deal about it.

After the first month we are really pleased with what our kids are learning and that they are truly enjoying themselves. There are several upcoming tournaments available for the students to join in. They offer adult classes and even offer womens self defense each month. I attended the first class. The class was only $10 and made for a great ladies night out.
