The study of martial arts is not just about punching, kicking, and fighting. Actually it is about living. Through the physical aspects of the martial arts we learn teamwork, goal setting, and work ethics. We learn to set a goal and then what it takes to follow through and achieve that goal.

Here at the Desert Dojo, not only will you learn practical self-defense skills but, with consistent practice, you will uncover the deeper meanings that comprise the essential quality of these traditional arts which, in turn, will help you to replace the unwanted pressures and stress of everyday life with internal peace, harmony, and balance.

The curriculum of the Arizona Ninjutsu Center is founded on success. Our core program was designed by Kyoshi Randy Weekley, who has developed a learning process that ensures success through Program 2 Black Belt and beyond. We also utilize "Powerful Words" character education, as designed by child development specialist Dr. Robyn Silverman to help every child reach their personal best.

The core of our curriculum is made up of three martial art ryus or families: Ninpo Taijutsu, Jujutsu and Goshinjutsu. Ninpo Taijutsu is the original martial art of the “Shinobi” warriors and Jujutsu is the traditional martial art of the “Samurai”. Goshinjutsu is a self-defense system. These martial art systems are taught for self-defense and are not geared toward sport or tournaments.
These arts form the core of Arizona Ninjutsu Center’s budo (martial arts) program. In these arts, you will practice the same elite self-defense techniques that were battle proven during the Warring States Era of Japan. As a student you will learn to effectively defend yourself by using evasive body movements, joint lock controls, hand and foot weapons, throws and mental awareness.

The Shinobi, or Ninja, exercised patience and perseverance throughout their lives in order to protect their families, communities and country. Their training endowed them with a tough but pliant spirit, and martial skills suitable for coping with any situation. Those same skills can help you in today's difficult world.
