Lots of other places have a 30 minute time, but this class is between 45-60 minutes, depending on how long it takes to finish the lesson- not when the time is up. I really like and appreciate that. The instructor, Steve, is awesome and very patient with the kids. And I love how he always relates the Jiu Jitsu lesson to the real world. Can't wait to continue our journey here.

ROOTS COMBAT CLUB is simply incredible! From the moment my son and I walked in for the open mat…read moreclass, we were blown away. The facility is spotless and has such a cool, welcoming vibe. The owner, Alex, and the members were so friendly and made us feel right at home. They gave us a tour and explained everything they offer, from kids' classes to adults'. My son had the chance to try the open mat class, and he loved every second of it! We met several of the trainers, and each one was approachable and answered all of his questions with ease. This place treats you more like family than just another gym member, which made the experience that much more special. The best part? The first visit to ROOTS COMBAT CLUB was FREE! It allowed my son to get a feel for the environment before deciding to join, and now he can't wait to become part of the club. I'll even be taking a class while my son is in his, which is a huge bonus for working parents trying to fit in a workout. The cost of classes was very reasonable compared to most gyms in our area. If you're searching for a clean, welcoming, and family-friendly environment where both you and your child can learn self-defense and stay in shape, ROOTS COMBAT CLUB is where it's at. Highly recommend--this place is the real deal! You won't regret it!

For kids they are enrolled for three months at a time and then monthly payments will be withdrawn from bank or credit card. Coach Danny is very straightforward, extremely disciplined. He has true passion for his craft and takes it very seriously. It is very impressive how he handles so much in such little time. Everywhere at once. I haven't really met anyone else besides other parents who are fully invested in their children's safety and well being as well as their future. They also offer classes for adults which is very interesting to participate in, not sure if I will ever enroll.

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.
