Welcome to the Kita Yama Dojo (North Mountain School), Phoenix, Arizona. We are a branch dojo of the Kaze Arashi Ryu, teaching their traditional Japanese martial arts, or bujutsu, under the guidance of licensed (menkyo) instructors.

Our dojo originally opened in Jackson Heights, N.Y., but is currently located in North Central Phoenix, Arizona. Our principal instructor began training in this tradition in 1968, and currently holds the menkyokaiden certificate in several arts.

We accept students from all walks of life, and we do not unjustly discriminate against anyone. However, training in the Kaze Arashi Ryu, a classical tradition, is demanding and the full curriculum is large. We train in earnest. Anyone who wishes to train with us should expect to do the same. You will find the rewards worthy of your effort.

This site provides general information about the arts. If you have any further questions, contact us at 602 943-8115 (9201 North 7th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ. 85021) or via email: admin@kazemura.org
