Increased self confidence is one of the biggest improvements we notice in our students as they progress in their Jiu Jitsu training at URSA Academy. We've seen men & women who used to walk through the door looking to avoid notice now stand taller with the shoulders back, walking confidently among their friends & training partners, ready to start their classes. It comes from a combination of getting in shape, feeling strong, being surrounded by incredibly supportive training partners, and knowing that their learning the most effective form of self defense martial arts around.
If you have weight to lose and you haven't found success in the standard gym setting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at URSA Academy is for you!

Our class roster system, 7 day a week schedule, & one on one relationships help hold you accountable, while building in flexibility to accommodate your everyday life. This perfect blend that we've developed over our years of coaching will help you achieve your long term fitness goals through consistent training on a sustainable custom schedule.
There is no better peace of mind than knowing you can protect yourself and your family should the need arise. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the martial art trusted and used by our military service members, police officers, and air marshals to immobilize and maintain control of an assailant without the use of weapons. Designed for a smaller weaker person to take down and dominate an opponent of any size using leverage, timing, strategy, and skill, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is the ultimate self defense system for men & women of any age and size. (...its great for kids too!)
No matter how much you love your job, school, & family, everyone can benefit from some time to do something just for YOU! Too often, people indulge in unhealthy habits as an effort to reduce stress or "decompress" after a long day. BUT, there is NOTHING that can relieve stress like a great day on the mats, training with great people, & challenging your mind & body in an amazing class. Try out ONE CLASS. Come in & "sweat out your day" and I KNOW you'll be more relaxed after class than you started.
Welcome to your new team! URSA Academy is home to many welcoming men & women of every age, size, & experience level ready and excited to train with you! Unlike other traditional martial arts, you cannot do jujitsu alone; there are no forms or katas to be practiced on your own. All of our techniques are repped with a partner or in a group. In every class you will meet like-minded people and bond over your shared experiences on the mat. Our team, one of the largest in the Midwest, is only as strong as its weakest training partner.
