Our Instructors
Our instructors take their teaching responsibilities very seriously. Being a good teacher means making sure students are doing techniques correctly and safely. Many martial arts injuries are the result of doing techniques incorrectly over a period of many years, thus damaging the body's bones and connective tissues. We work hard to make sure that all of our students, from the young to the young-at-heart, will receive all the training benefits they are looking for without having to endure dangerous training regimens.
David Shanstrom
As the chief Aikido instructor, Sensei Shanstrom brings to you the unsurpassed knowledge and experience that only a lifetime devotion to the martial arts can develop. Sensei Shanstrom has held Black Belt rank since 1967. He has since achieved advanced rankings in several Aikido disciplines. He has trained and taught across the United States and in multiple other countries. He has taught Aikido in Tucson since 1987. Of calm, soft spoken and sincere character, Mr. Shanstrom emits these traits naturally...a reflection of the Aikido spirit itself. |
