Welcome! We are a traditional Martial Arts school with modern self-defense techniques and one of only a few schools that teaches ninjutsu. In fact, we are the ONLY school in all of Arizona that teaches under the guidance of Black Belt Hall of Fame Member Stephen K. Hayes!
Our goal is to assist you and everyone that joins our martial arts family to excel and become a successful person in life. That means being fitter, stronger and smarter. And we do this one kick and punch at a time. We make it fun and educational for your whole family!
There is a lot of mystery behind being a ninja. Even when you research it, it’s actually hard to tell what’s fact and fiction.
So what exactly is it?
And how in the world did ninjas end up in Chandler, Arizona?
The literal Japanese to English translation of To-Shin Do is “Sword Spirit Path”. Practitioners of the art use a more developed translation in which: To = sword, Shin = the focused spirit of intention, and Do = the path to mastery.
Every class is about learning new and exciting things about yourself and what you’re capable of, as well as some really AWESOME self-defense techniques that will help keep you safe, when needed. You’ll learn to explore your full potential, discover hidden skills you didn’t even know you had and be the best that you can be at all times.
Making lots of new friends, staying physically fit and having a strong body, mind and spirit are just a few of the reasons to join Quest Martial Arts.
Taken from the body, mind and spirit techniques perfected in the mountains of Japan, To-Shin Do ninja martial arts training is a complete system that contains the ultimate instruction to cultivate self-protection and awakened living!
The Benefits of Learning To-Shin Do Include…
Access to innovative mind science that allows you to expand your awareness and raise your consciousness
Careful and intelligent instruction for defending oneself against any kind of attack on the street by an attacker of any size with any weapon
Learning to use weapons such as hanbos (staffs), swords, shuriken (throwing stars) and other weapons from ordinary household materials… as well as how to defend oneself from them
Training in a safe, exciting, fun, inspiring and positive environment that retains over 95 percent of its members from year to year
Understanding the true ninja philosophy of “winning” and applying it throughout one’s life
An incredible amount of fun and adventure!
