**UPDATE** This location has transferred to new owner and is now "AZ Karate & Kombat Academy"…read moreinstead of "AKKA Karate USA" The original AKKA Owner now has a location in Corona de Tucson - 51 E Tallahassee Dr (520) 820-0155. I discovered AKKA one day when my 15 year old son decided he wanted to learn karate. We spent a Saturday driving all around the east side of Tucson looking for a school. Most were either closed or not very helpful. AKKA just happened to be the last school we stopped at. Mrs. Thibault, the owner, greeted us and spent time talking with us. We walked out that day excited to start. Now, a little over a year later, AKKA has become our home away from home. The family package is an amazing deal that many families take advantage of. The instructors are all top notch and keep learning fun. Everyone is treated with respect. They offer classes in Kenpo for all ages, Grappling, Kick Boxing, and Combative Tactics. There are other AKKA schools across Tucson in the same system and they all get together for seminars and tournaments on a pretty regular basis. It's like an extended family! If you're looking for a family oriented karate school where learning is fun, I highly recommend checking out AKKA!

This gym only cares about taking your money.When I originally signed up, I was hit with a shocking…read morethree hundred dollar fee and when I asked for a copy of the contract that I signed, I was refused one. Shortly after I signed up, I accepted a role in my company that requires frequent travel. Since I won't be using the gym often I call to cancel and was told that that would be another four hundred dollars. Them not giving me a contract of what I signed up for is horrible enough. I will use this gym maybe twelve times throughout the rest of my two year contract. I'm not looking forward to walking into this place. Save yourself the burden of feeling forced to go here due to money and just pick a different gym.

This is a great dojo with an amazing teacher that truly lived and studied in Japan for over a…read moredecade. I lived in Japan for several years. I came to Tucson for work and I was looking a dojo like the ones I had experienced in Japan. I found that in the Shoubu Dojo and in Aikido. Aikido is more than martial technique, it is a way of life. In addition, the knife class has been a great experience. Blending both the tactical and traditional arts of knife defense and offense. It is eye opening to see and learn that. The only way to truly understand is to stop by a class and see it in action. There is not enough space to covey how I feel about this place and the teacher, so I will leave you with this thought. There is an old saying paraphrased " when the student is ready, the teacher will appear." That is how I felt when I found Cody Sensei and the Shoubu Dojo. I have now been there 9 years. Hope to see you there.

After googling multiple self defense classes, I'm beyond happy with my decision here with Jenna…read more Jenna was and continues to be very personable and helpful throughout the class. She takes her time to not only teach but also gets to know us as individuals, encouraging us to get to know each of us participating. I think that's what makes the environment what it is.. as a welcoming, friendly, sweaty, hard working, motivating, fun fast paced learning experience. As if this wasn't enough to have anyone give it a try, the first class is legitimately free. No catch. The class is worth it but Jenna is a solid person, and makes it welcoming and worth coming back too.

Her gym is nice and clean, no issues with parking, and it's easy to get to.
