I learned about Descending Dragon and Thrive Acupuncture from a Groupon, and I am pleased to say…read morethat this place is a fantastic find! Jamie provides the acupuncture and Jarrod provides the Tunia (Chinese hands on massage therapy). The treatments are affordable (only $30 each) and effective, and last about an hour total (for both the acupuncture and the tunia). I've been coming here twice a month for the past month, and I am feeling much healthier and happier since starting these treatments. Acupuncture is extremely helpful in treating a variety of health issues. If you suffer from any kind of chronic pain, headaches, high blood pressure, allergies, or digestive problems, you could most likely benefit from regular treatments. Descending Dragon also offers martial arts classes, and Jarrod is a highly knowledgeable expert instructor, as well as being committed to traditional Chinese medicine. If you don't mind a communal setting for your treatments, try it, and you'll soon experience the multitude of benefits that acupuncture and Tunia offer. I have not tried the martial arts classes, but I am confident that they are also highly worthwhile. The martial arts classes offered include Open Training, Xingyi Quan, Bagua Zhang, and Taiji Quan. There are reduced rates available for multiple classes.

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.

Jenna is the absolute best! She cares for each one of her students and makes sure we all feel like…read morewe're a part of the community. She is very knowledgeable and will make sure your form is correct and she gives her students individual attention even though she teaches us in a group. I continue to come back here because I get the privilege of learning from the best and I feel stronger and more confident with every class. Jenna ensures that we're all safe and having a good time. Her gym is nice and clean, no issues with parking, and it's easy to get to.
