About | Tucson Aiki Budo

"Learning a technique well enough to do it with power, speed, proper form, and without thinking, is a good beginning. But that is all it is: a beginning."
Frederick J. Lovret Sensei

Tucson Aiki-budō is a gateway for serious adults interested in traditional, transformational, Japanese martial arts and ways. Our main focus is the study and dissemination of Yamate Aiki-budō (aiki-jūjutsu) and Ishikage Kenpō (kenjutsu).

We welcome anyone of good character, with a sincere curiosity and a desire to learn. However, long-term study is not a casual undertaking, and not everyone will have the patience, persistence, or temperament to persevere.

Introductory classes and seminars are available for both of our primary arts, as well as for jōjutsu (4'staff) and sho (Japanese calligraphy).
