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.

I came in to check out this Karate school and I never left!…read more The main thing I was after was: a martial arts school that came from a great lineage of previous martial artists who were serious about the craft to it's present teachers, a martial arts school that would not do the same two lessons over and over but would actually progress and had a cirriculum and that the teachers were awesome. AIK has all this here! I'm so happy to be a part of American Kenpo, here in Tuscon and I would highly recommend this martial arts school to anyone who is serious in studying Kenpo.

KNOWLEDGE: Big guy/owner definitely has a lot of expertise and knowledge on TKD…read more INSTRUCTORS: 2 of the 3 lead instructors are great. The big guy/owner was rough with some of the students. Jolting their arms and legs into position, not very happy with how my child is being manhandled. COUNTING: It's a Korean sport, why are they having the students count in Spanish? Accommodating the Spanish population? There are many other populations of languages that aren't being accommodated to. Korean is most appropriate. OWNER: Big guy likes to talk over his employees and shout out from his office correcting them- not too professional. FACILITY: Smells like a freshly opened bag of Doritos. Wish they'd open the back door for some cross breeze when the weather permits. Nice people, room to improve.

A great gym with fantastic equipment and fantastic trainers, and an environment that welcomes all…read morewho want to make their body stronger. This welcoming environment, however, is in spite of, not because of, its owner, who uses his brand's social media account to mock people for, among other things, having pronouns in their bio, and when confronted on this, will delete comments critical of those actions. https://www.instagram.com/p/DYfR3r9yPIv/ As such, it becomes difficult to recommend Tucson Strength as a welcoming place if you are someone who expects to have your gender identity respected, as the owner believes "pronouns are a social construct" that he "does not buy into" and that "there are [only] two genders" He is obviously welcome to these opinions, in the same way I am welcome to take my business elsewhere, while letting others know they may not feel welcome in this space. It is truly disappointing that the owner of a gym with a "Don't be an asshole" sign cannot live up to that most basic of principles. All of that said, I cannot in good conscience give a review less than three stars, as at the end of the day it has the makings of a potentially fantastic gym that's *actually* a welcoming place for *anyone*, and I have incredibly fond memories of my time there. It was with great disappointment that I canceled my membership, but I simply no longer felt welcome at a place owned by an online bully, who claims everyone is welcome in his space, while at the same time using his public business account to hunt down and mock those who think differently than him.
