Bullying is a huge problem for children, even at this age. And its effects can last for life. Bully-proofing children is what we do best. Our kids learn only the most practical martial arts & tactics to stick up for themselves.

Become bully-proof.

earned confidence at rise martial arts

Earn confidence for life.

The only way for children to gain reliable confidence is for them to earn it. That doesn’t mean empty slogans or participation trophies. It means giving them reasonable challenges and encouraging them as they overcome those challenges.

Learn the right kind of discipline.

A lack of discipline is the norm for kids now a days. It’s critical for children to be able to function and even thrive in a group setting. Discipline is a skill. We craft that skill in children with sensible positive and corrective consequences.

The RISE difference is real and extreme.

Classes structured down to the very second.

You won’t find a more fast-paced class structure for kids at any other activity or any other school! Our classes are structured, timed, & refined down to the very second. All classes are broken into carefully timed phases that are amazing at keeping children engaged and learning!

Consistent and scientific teaching tactics.

One of the greatest frustrations at kids activities of all kinds (dancing, karate, gymnastics, swimming, soccer, etc.) is a lack of quality and consistency with the instructors. Rest assured, you’ll be amazed at how precise each instructor teaches. The vast majority of students have little to no difference in satisfaction from one instructor the next. Why? Because our instructors aren’t just random volunteers or people we just hired and threw on the mat! All of our instructors are paid and trained to teach with the same language, use the same enforcement & motivational tactics, demonstrate in the same way, and on and on!

A mixed martial arts curriculum that actually works for self-defense: Muay Thai, Korean Karate, & some basic Jiu-Jitsu.

The greatest martial artists, without dispute, are mixed martial artists. There’s certainly some benefit in learning just one style in isolation. However, anytime a school conforms to one style of martial art, that necessarily means that your child will be missing a big piece of the puzzle that is self-defense. To be able to protect oneself, reliably, martial artists must at least have proficiency in all parts of martial arts: striking (punches, kicks, knees, elbows) and grappling (jiu-jitsu, takedowns, & takedown defense).

An amazing balance of hard work & fun throughout the class.

YOU CAN’T TEACH STUDENTS THAT QUIT! We realized that early on. And so we made our classes EXTREMELY fun while still being extremely valuable and structured. Parents are very frequently shocked at how well their students listen during classes at Rise Martial Arts. And that’s no coincidence. Our program is setup in a way that enables such behavior and fun. And our instructors are trained in ways that enable such behavior and fun. Students listen the first time, find challenges in every class, and still smile and laugh along the way. That’s not an exaggeration!

Over 1,000 students developed.

Rise continues to be the top rated school in the area.
