Martial Arts of Tucson opened its doors at 5250 E. Pima St. on June 4th, 2001. David Shanstrom, owner, has been teaching Aikido for many years in the Tucson area. He partnered with Ryan Maza (Jujutsu), Scott Meyer (Tae Kwon Do), Enrique Olivares (Karate) and John Blue (Tai Chi) in a very non-traditional venture, bringing a multi-faceted arsenal of styles to the public.

As the martial arts have developed over the centuries, a great deal of energy has gone into trying to decide which style is the best, often resulting in disputes that have prevented the growth and expansion of knowledge that could come from sharing.

It is a spirit of growth and development that prompted David to offer four different styles from three different countries (Tae Kwon Do is Korean in origin, whereas Aikido, Jujutsu and Karate are Japanese) under the same roof. Our staff would like to invite you to grow and develop with us as we make this move into exciting and uncharted territories of martial arts training.
