I learned about Descending Dragon and Thrive Acupuncture from a Groupon, and I am pleased to say…read morethat this place is a fantastic find! Jamie provides the acupuncture and Jarrod provides the Tunia (Chinese hands on massage therapy). The treatments are affordable (only $30 each) and effective, and last about an hour total (for both the acupuncture and the tunia). I've been coming here twice a month for the past month, and I am feeling much healthier and happier since starting these treatments. Acupuncture is extremely helpful in treating a variety of health issues. If you suffer from any kind of chronic pain, headaches, high blood pressure, allergies, or digestive problems, you could most likely benefit from regular treatments. Descending Dragon also offers martial arts classes, and Jarrod is a highly knowledgeable expert instructor, as well as being committed to traditional Chinese medicine. If you don't mind a communal setting for your treatments, try it, and you'll soon experience the multitude of benefits that acupuncture and Tunia offer. I have not tried the martial arts classes, but I am confident that they are also highly worthwhile. The martial arts classes offered include Open Training, Xingyi Quan, Bagua Zhang, and Taiji Quan. There are reduced rates available for multiple classes.

After googling multiple self defense classes, I'm beyond happy with my decision here with Jenna…read more Jenna was and continues to be very personable and helpful throughout the class. She takes her time to not only teach but also gets to know us as individuals, encouraging us to get to know each of us participating. I think that's what makes the environment what it is.. as a welcoming, friendly, sweaty, hard working, motivating, fun fast paced learning experience. As if this wasn't enough to have anyone give it a try, the first class is legitimately free. No catch. The class is worth it but Jenna is a solid person, and makes it welcoming and worth coming back too.

She is very knowledgeable and will make sure your form is correct and she gives her students individual attention even though she teaches us in a group.

Her gym is nice and clean, no issues with parking, and it's easy to get to.

The instructors/owners are very respectful, professional, and the best at what they do. They teach everything that you could ever want your child to know in every aspect. Pricing is very reasonable and what is taught and learned is irreplaceable and priceless. I am not an easy person to please when it comes to anything with my daughter and I trust absolutely nobody....but I am completely pleased with everything that they do and teach here and I would trust them with my daughter with anything.

My family and I have attended Capoeira Mandinga Tucson (CMT) for over a year now. When my two sons…read morestarted, they were ages four and five, just a couple of months shy of five and six. Mestra (Master, or teacher) Luar (also known as Anne, the owner!) was extremely quick to engage both boys and help them achieve a focus I had never seen before! Kids that age don't really stay on task too well, but for Capoeira, they have done fantastically! Now, just over a year later and each boy has earned his first belt! They play capoeira all the time and can't wait to go to classes! We have also upgraded to a family membership! My wife loves it and has never been so into a fitness regimen! She has lost weight and is toning up impressively! And then there's me. I'm in my mid-40's and have a bad hip, but even I have been able to take a few classes! My hip is still bad, but my cardio is better, my flexibility is beginning to improve and most importantly, I have had no further injuries. Mestra Luar teaches a lot more than just capoeira moves. She teaches the history of the art, the importance of respect and cooperation, and she teaches awesome music as well! Luar has authentic Brazilian instruments she uses to teach songs and rhythms used all over the world in capoeira. Portuguese is the language of capoeira, so all the songs are taught in Portuguese. It's great fun learning a new language while having a great time! Finally, I want to address the atmosphere. CMT is a family place! All the kids, and all the parents get along, and we enjoy the monthly Rota (pronounced Ho-Da) which is a sort of mini-jamboree where EVERYONE at the academy who is in classes comes and plays Capoeira together! Young vs. old, big vs. little, skilled vs me, makes no difference! Everyone plays together and we all become closer every time! We sing capoeira songs, and the students even get to learn some of the instruments! I love CMT! This place is great for my family and for me. Salve Mandinga!!!
