About THD: The Hero Dojo

Welcome to THD,

Tucson’s home for unique and engaging martial arts programs. Founded by Patrick Chamberlain, a martial artist with over 20 years of experience, we specialize in bringing the ancient art of Gumdo and the exciting, modern twist of Saber Club™ to students of all ages and skill levels.

THD was born out of a passion for combining traditional martial arts with innovative training methods. With a background in Taekwondo and Gumdo, Patrick Chamberlain saw an opportunity to blend his love of martial arts with the growing interest in saber combat and swordsmanship. The result is a martial arts school that offers both the rich traditions of Korean sword arts and the excitement of combat sabers™, creating a community where students can grow physically and mentally.

I’m Patrick Chamberlain, the founder and chief instructor of THD. I hold a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwondo and have extensive training in Gumdo, under the guidance of world-renowned masters. With over two decades of experience teaching martial arts, I’m committed to helping each student achieve their personal best, both on and off the mat.


My goal is to make martial arts accessible, fun, and challenging for everyone—from beginners to experienced practitioners. Whether you’re training in Gumdo or joining our Saber Club, you’ll find a supportive environment where you can build not just physical strength, but also confidence, discipline, and focus.
