Japanese and Okinawan Martial Arts in Tucson
All classes are taught by Ben Couch. Couch-sensei has studied a wide range of martial arts since 1984 and has specialized in Karate, Jujutsu, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Shindo Muso Ryu Jojutsu, and Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu Japanese Swordsmanship.
Our programs are conducted at the Ryushinkan Dojo in a traditional Japanese environment. With hand painted Japanese scrolls, tatami mats for kneeling and falling safely, authentic Japanese antiques and decorations, and traditional presentations of the shomen and other interior features, you will feel like you have just stepped off the street and into ancient Japan.
Whatever art(s) you're interested in, you will find a traditional Japanese presentation of your study at Blackbird Martial arts. There is both physical and mental exercise to be done. You will learn history and precision, and you will find the classes most to your liking if you are the kind of person who cares less about rank and more about knowledge. For the sincere of heart, I believe these programs will be a fine fit for you.
The style of karate I teach - Shinpi Karasu-ryu - is heavily influenced by my experience in jujutsu and aikido. We are a traditional dojo, which means that we study and adapt ourselves to techniques that were originally designed for fighting and warfare.
We accepts students 14-years-old and up into the karate program.
Muso Jikiden Eishin Ryu: this sword system offers a comprehensive art that traces its lineage back over 450 years.
Shindo Muso Ryu Jojutsu: the jo is a short staff, 50.25" long. Shindo Muso Ryu is a koryu (literally "old school") art that is traced back to 1605.
We accept students 18-years-old and up into the sword and jo programs.
For $100/month, you can train in either or both of these styles, as well as the karate program.
