Amy Magers is the director of URSA Academy, the wife of URSA Academy Black Belt Professor, Kris Magers, & the creator of URSA FKB, the Fitness Kickboxing studio at URSA Academy.
With her background in Curriculum Development & Education from the University of Toledo, a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu & boxing training under a coach from the legendary, Kronk Gym, Amy used to do a little bit of everything at the Academy, from answering phones, to giving tours of the academy, & even teaching kickboxing classes.
10 years and 2 kids later, Amy now spends most of her time working behind the scenes with Professor Kris & the team at URSA Academy to develop the highest quality programs, instructors, curriculum, & classes ANYWHERE!
If you’re looking for a team environment, one on one coaching, and insightful instruction, URSA Academy is an excellent choice. I can honestly say that all members of the gym were as interested in my development as the coaches and staff. I learned almost as much from my peers as I did from Kris. Moreover, the size of the class is perfect; it seemed common to be stopped mid-activity and given individualized instruction on how to improve my form. Lastly, Kris is able to break each technique down into its individual parts so that even those of us who were new to the sport could understand and improve on a daily basis. URSA Academy is a great place to learn an incredible sport and make some great friends while doing so.
