Anything can be made easily and cheaply bought, but that which must be EARNED DEARLY has the greatest value. If you are more concerned with wearing a belt than earning a belt, I recommend you study somewhere other than at Sakura Warrior Arts. As Missoula's oldest and finest martial arts academy, Sakura Warrior Arts offers one of the most comprehensive martial arts training programs in the world.
For over 40 years, our expert instructors have trained elite athletes in sport competition, self defense, and street survival tactics. Prepare for your next big fight, get the knowledge to defend yourself, or provide your children with a discipline that will improve their confidence and sense of respect.

A hard-hitting, effective mixed martial art that is as devastating on the street as it is in the ring, created by the legendary Jim Harrison. We offer classes for everyone. There is no age limit or gender preference when it comes to learning martial arts. Choose which martial arts program works for you and learn from instructors with years of experience.
Developed by Grand Master Jim Harrison to be the world's most effective self-defense system. Our Ronin Goshin Jutsu focuses on 3 essential self-defense techniques, grappling, striking and mixed martial art training. When you can't talk your way out, and they won't let you walk out, take them out. Ronin Jutsu is a street survival self defense system based on simple, practical, realistic and effective techniques and tactics.
Created by the legendary Jim Harrison, Sakura's karate, kickboxing, mma system has produced champion fighters for decades. Are you next? Ryan Smith, Competitive MMA fighter and Pacific Northwest Middleweight Kickboxing Champion. Sakura's Karate-Kickboxing is a sport-oriented class with an emphasis on punching and kicking skills.
Jim Harrison's mixture of traditional Judo and Ju Jitsu is the most effective grappling system, not only for the street but also for sport combat. Judo and Jujitsu are grappling arts, where knowledge, skill, and speed can overcome an opponent's size and strength by the scientific application of balance and leverage.
At Sakura, we offer 3 separate classes for children: Judo/jujitsu, karate /kickboxing, and Ronin Goshin Jutsu (Self-Defense). With each of our classes, we also put an emphasis on discipline, courtesy, respect, and self-confidence. Our child karate / kickboxing is a stand-up sport class focused on punching & kickboxing.

I started going to Sakura years ago. I loved it then and I am so excited to have started it again. The new classes are awesome, I started up with the FIT class to begin training for a Spartan race and I haven't been disappointed. The classes are a good work out and so much fun that several of my friends have now joined in.
I also take the kickboxing class and cannot recommend it enough. The techniques taught have been cherry picked by legend Martial Arts Master Jim Harrison. They are practical and efficient. After coming to class I now have better body awareness and mobility. I feel more confident

I had three years of boxing experience when I started training at Sakura Warrior Arts. The instructors are so amazing, I couldn't believe how much I learned just in the first week. The adult classes always have two instructors, which is so helpful when learning something so technical. The gym manager is very professional, helpful, and organized, and so welcoming and friendly.
Sakura is different from other martial arts gyms. They not only train for sport, but they truly train you to protect yourself in real-life assault situations. I choose to train with Sakura, because of the outstanding instructors

My daughter signed up and did not like it, they said I could cancel if I gave a 1 month notice, and now they will not answer my calls and when my husband finally got through to his wife/bookkeeper she refused to stop deducting money from our account. She stated it's not her fault that our daughter doesn't like it, she signed up for a year and then proceeded to compare it to a car loan. Months later I am still paying for no service. They are not a place you want to associate yourselves with. Oh yeah and they sent one of their outfits home with my daughter without asking us and then sent
