Martial arts taught at the Arizona Hombu are traditional, thus students should expect to learn lots of ceremony & considerable power.
Although the Martial Arts School is relatively new to Arizona, Grandmaster Hausel started training in martial arts in the 1960s and began teaching martial arts in 1970 at the University of Utah. Later he taught karate and other martial arts at the University of New Mexico, the University of Wyoming and recently at Arizona State University. At the University of Wyoming, Soke Hausel was Kyoju no Budo (Professor of Martial Arts) and taught classes and clinics in karate, kobudo (martial arts weapons), samurai arts, jujutsu, self-defense and self-defense for women. He has a long resume for martial arts.
Over the years, he taught karate, kobudo, jujutsu, self-defense, women's self-defense and samurai arts. Many martial arts classes at the University of Wyoming filled with more than 100 students with waiting lists of hopefuls. But today, he has now chosen to limit the number of students in his classes.
Grandmaster Hausel has a diversified background in martial arts and teaches traditional Okinawan and Japanese martial arts. Included in his curriculum are Shorin-Ryu Karate, Shorin-Ryu Kobudo (weapons), Self-Defense and Samurai Arts.
Kobudo (martial arts weapons) classes are part of karate training and include a variety of weapons (tools) such as Bo, Hanbo, Nitanbo, Kubotan, Nunchaku, Sai, Kama, Kuwa, Ra-ke, Surichin, Eku, Tsue, Kioga (expandable police baton) and more. Samurai arts taught at the martial arts school in Mesa include jujutsu, hojojutsu, hanbojutsu, bojutsu, iaido, kenjutsu, naginatajutsu, yarijutsu and manrikigusari.
The style of karate is Okinawan Shorin-Ryu. Basically one of the original forms of karate developed centuries ago on Okinawa. Soke Hausel's love for Karate is seen in the many national & international awards presented by several martial arts associations and martial arts Halls of Fame.
