UPDATE 5/22/26: RISE Martial Arts has been an amazing experience for my kids. The instructors do a phenomenal job teaching not only martial arts skills and self-defense, but also important life values like respect, focus, confidence, patience, and perseverance. The environment is positive, encouraging, and structured, helping children grow both physically and mentally. It’s clear that the staff truly care about each student’s development and success. They take each child under their wing, continuously helping them improve in areas where they may struggle while encouraging them every single day. I highly recommend RISE Martial Arts for kids of all ages to any parent looking for a program that builds both character and skill. UPDATE: Just to keep everyone updated....We just recently had a birthday party at Rise Martial Arts and IT WAS FANTASTIC! All the kids had a great time! Everything was properly and professionaly organized and executed! Instructor Madison and Miss Lauren did a great job keeping the kids entertained and their energy levels up! I would recommend an event here any day! Rise Martial Arts is such a great place to take your kids. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and extremely patient with all children. They teach the kids great skills and values that will benefit them throughout life. We are so happy to have signed up the kids for martial arts…..they love it so much that they ask to go every day!

My daughter Roselyn loves Rise Martial Arts because the instructors make learning fun while also teaching discipline, confidence, and respect. She looks forward to every class and to learning new skills. The staff is welcoming, supportive, and truly cares about each student’s success. We are so grateful to be part of such an amazing martial arts family!

Rise has been so easy to work with! Especially with their free two week trial. We wanted to test it out before enrolling our 4 year old who is the typical boy and has a hard time staying on task and focused. He has now gone to 4 classes and we signed him up after class 1! It keeps the kids busy and entertained the entire class which is great for our child. The instructors are amazing and do really well keeping things structured but fun! Highly recommend if you are looking for something for your child to do to learn focus, following instructions, working in a group setting, and staying active!

I recently had to enroll my 10 year old twins last minute in afterschool care. I’m in a situation that they only need afterschool every other week though. I was so surprised that Rise was happy to accept them and had no issues whatsoever with the schedule I need! It’s been a breeze registering them and communication with the Rise team is phenomenal! They have a phone number you can text, and they literally get back to you within minutes! The twins already love it there and are so excited about the program and how they will move up the ranks for their belts! I am so impressed with them and would recommend them to anyone!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely love Rise Martial Arts! The instructors here are truly amazing — they’re patient, encouraging, and fantastic with kids of all ages. They strike the perfect balance between discipline and fun, creating an environment where kids are excited to learn and grow. My kids can’t wait for class each week! Not only are they learning real martial arts skills, but they’re also building confidence, respect, focus, and perseverance — and having a blast while doing it. The energy in the studio is always positive, and you can tell the instructors genuinely care about every student’s progress. If you’re looking for a martial arts school that develops strong character and great skills in a fun, supportive atmosphere, I highly recommend Rise Martial Arts. We couldn’t be happier!
