What People are Saying

This is an easy question, when we first walked in for information about your class Bianca Cianelli was very helpful and answered all our questions. It felt like we were old friends catching up on the past. It is definitely "family" and we feel right at home. It's more then just karate that Sensei teaches. We have been there for some time now and the confidence that my son shows in class and out on his own is remarkable. I couldn't think of a better place for my kids to go. - April P.

I have been a student of the martial since age 11. When we attended a class at Tsuru Ki I already held a 3rd Dan in Kenpo, Advanced Krav Instructor Certificate and a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Hunter and I were looking for a school to train in that fit our personalities, was open to new students (some school aren't very friendly), and focused on training instead of promotions. We found absolutely everything we were looking for with Master Cianelli. The connection to tradition, the unwavering commitment to good, solid training over promotions, and a new martial arts family. I gladly donned a white belt again and began training under Sensei! Even though we now live in North Dakota and have started a club out here, our home will always be with Tsuru Ki and our 'extended' family out East. I am very proud to be among the very few promoted as an instructor by Master Cianelli and given the right to teach under his name.  Incredible instructor, committed to solid training with a connection to tradition that doesn't prohibit new ideas and concepts. Highly recommend this school! - Mike S.

I've trained alongside Master Cianelli for 7 years, and would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated martial artist and teacher. There are no shortcuts, and you will receive nothing less than a genuine and legitimate education of technique, application, history, and tradition. His name and reputation in the MA community are without reproach. Having been involved in the martial arts for 29 years, I can truly say I've spent time with some of the best around. Steve is no exception. - Scott S.

I have been involved in martial arts since 1977. Knew Master Cianelli as a brown belt training for 1st Dan. He has always had determination integrity passion respect loyalty towards his teachers and the arts. He has evolved into a great man. His dojo has tradition, integrity, and is a family unit. After being absent from my GoJu family for many years I chose to come home to my GoJu brother. - Amy P.

Awesome instructor who teaches quality martial arts! He truly cares about the growth of the student. - Steve P.

Good school. Awesome people. Great Master and students - Joe K.

When my husband and I were looking for a school to join up with and learn the art of the Japanese sword, he called several places before actually wanting to visit any school in person which ended up being Cianelli, Sensei's school.  He welcomed us when we walked in and was open and polite and genuinely friendly.  He was both down to earth and knowledgeable and well as having humility.  He answered our questions and we liked what we saw.  My husband joined the class and Cianelli, Sensei always encouraged me to join as well.  After some time and seeing more of what the class was about, I joined as well.  I will will always remember how much I felt welcome and that Cianelli, Sensei is genuine.  Evelyn B.

Few teach the sword, even fewer teach with humility.  There are also very few that teach an old family style of the sword.  It is an honor to uphold this tradition when so many have faded away.  Andrew B.
