Our son he has been part of Rising Sun for more than 6 months and he loved. We were looking for an instructed activity where he can have fun but learn how to follow instructions and Rising Sun Martial Arte check all the points for that. The instructor he is energetic and great with small kids. This is a family business you wont regret to bring your child here.
Rising sun martial arts of Jupiter has made a huge impact in my child’s life. Since starting martial arts my daughter has become more confident and has so much fun going to class each week. All the kids are so committed to what they are doing in class. The instructors are absolutely wonderful and do a great job making sure every kid is having fun and learning the important skills they use in martial arts and in the real world. My daughter looks forward to class each week and we are grateful for everything rising sun is doing for us and the community. I recommend rising sun to anyone who is interested in martial arts, it is absolutely worth it.
In English, Karate means “empty hand”, which illuminates how this combat style focuses on the power that lies solely in the body.I cannot imagine a more important lesson for a young person- that they don’t need anything in their hands to be great and powerful. They don’t need a phone, a trophy, a shiny new toy- just control over their mind and the discipline to seek it.That is the mental transformation that I am seeing in my little girl after just a month at this school. She is all around more focused, engaged and energetic in competing tasks.I am so proud of her and thankful for Rising Sun Martial Arts.
Our son has been going here for a couple months now and already the change in him is so noticeable! He loves the days he gets to go and practice and he continues to practice at home. We originally signed him up to help teach him some patience and give him a place to channel his energy and attention and we’ve been more than happy to see that happening. We see it at home when he actually stops and thinks before reacting when he’s frustrated, especially with his little brother. We are so happy we chose this school for him and look forward to watching him continuing his Eskrima journey at Rising Sun!
My son has gained confidence, strength, discipline and honor through rising sun. We have been with this dojo for over 8 months. My son has grown greatly in skill, self-esteem and perseverance in such a small amount of time.My son has not enjoyed any other extra curricular activity as much as he does at rising sun. He is ready and looks forward to going every class.
Rising Sun has given my son a sense of responsibility and has calmed him down and taught him so much about patience and trust. He has a blast EVERY time he goes the instructor and his helpers are very friendly and truly care about the kids. I was at my last rope with my son when he first started and trust me when I tell you. It has helped more than anything it gave him drive and commitment. Would recommend 5 stars all around.
Rising Sun is WONDERFUL! Our son started back in January and absolutely loves it! The instructors/owner do a fabulous job instilling confidence, respect, discipline, and determination into these young minds. These skills have not only enriched his motivation in the studio but at home and school as well. He has become more focused and determined in his academics and speaks with such respect “yes Ma’am, yes sir” at home. It has been a pleasure to be part of such a wonderful community and we look forward to the continued growth!
Since our first encounter with Mr. B, our experience has been nothing but the best. My son was 3 when we started, he wasnt able to sit still, his attention span was extremely short and he didnt always follow directions. In a couple of months all of this has changed drastically. Each week the children receive a stripe on their belt for doing a good job, and my son is so proud of that stripe that hes following directions to be sure he earns his stripe for things such as speed, balance, focus, listening...... Mr. B does an amazing job at pointing out each childs strengths, which increases their confidence and my son truly believes hes the toughest ninja in the world. Mr. Bs positivity never diminishes, even when teaching a group of young children. Throughout the class he does a great job of complimenting every child. Rising Sun is also in a great location, which makes it easy to grab food before or after and Mr. B often passes out coupons for free Bahama Bucks slushies. The prices are also great and you even get a uniform during registration and the belt tests are included in the monthly fee as long as you test during the testing window with the class. Were very thankful that our town has such a positive martial arts facility and were excited to watch our son grow and continue to earn belts and stripes.
Our oldest son transferred over to Rising Sun after a short stint at a more traditional karate studio. Rising Sun and their staff are amazing with him! the teaching style really fits well with our high energy child. The lights and the music, the stick fighting, and the constant action are really great. He gets more out of these 30 minute classes, than hour long sessions at the other studio. As they say at the end of each class *clap *clap YOU ROCK!!!
My son has been attending classes here since last year and he absolutely loves attending. It has really helped him with his self confidence and he enjoys the journey of moving up from belt to belt. He wants to be a black belt one day and Neil and his team do an exceptional job helping with their development.
Update 10/24/2019:My kids have been going to Rising Sun for several years and are almost black belt candidates! I wanted to send another positive kudos for Rising Sun especially for the private lessons. Weve had a lot going on recently and have missed a lot of classes - my kids are all caught up between extra booster camps that Rising Sun provides and private lessons! They really enjoy the 1:1 time with the instructors - during private lessons they can go quite a bit faster and go more in to depth on the why on what theyre learning which helps the kids remember. My youngest has also started in the Little Ninja class too and he has fun every class!--------------------------------------Were really happy with Rising Sun Martial arts! We have 2 kids in the same class and both are doing great. They just earned their yellow belts and are more excited than ever to continue learning! Our 7 year old is picking up the technique and form surprisingly quickly and we definitely see an increase in sportsmanship from him (its OK to not always win!). Our 8 yr old is autistic and has trouble maintaining focus and sticking with an activity in the long term. We were worried about his commitment and although we had a little trouble keeping him engaged in the beginning, the extended intro period provided by Rising Sun and the constant encouragement from the Gurus have both our kids hooked on martial arts!We are proud of our kids on their quick advancement and grateful to all the gurus at Rising Sun who are providing critical life skills! I would highly recommend taking advantage of the 4-6 week into period just to try it out - nothing to lose but so much to gain. Even if you dont buy into online reviews - go see for yourself and youll see that its worth it!
Rising Sun has changed our lives! Our children are more disciplined at home and school because they have respect, have learned to listen and take responsibility for their actions. Weve been with the studio for 5 years and our son has become a black belt last November yet he still continues to learn during each class. We would recommend Rising Sun to anyone who is seeing changes in their child they dont necessarily like. Mr. Buzick is vested in all of his students and will take the time to talk to you and/or your child to help you get through any situation that you may not be sure to handle. I would say he cares about both of our children who are enrolled almost as much as we do!
My daughter has just started here recently, and she was a super shy 6 year old and having her at Rising Sun has brought out the best in her. We can’t wait to see what’s next.
Rising Sun is the best thing that happened to us in 2020. After all the struggles with needing to home school and transitioning into life in a pandemic we were struggling to keep some kind of normalcy for our son. Finding Rising Sun was truly a blessing! My son has made a 180. Barely ever asks for his iPad, is a great listener and has such a drive to do his best. Now he wants to help show others how to be kind, be their best, and how to not give up. Thank you!
What I like best about Rising Sun is the inspiration my daughter gains from success stories like instructor Mr. Matos, self discipline, and projecting self confidence. Thank you for being a family oriented service, helping me to instill those values in my child. I am forever grateful.
As a parent it’s so hard to see your child struggle with self confidence . With the pandemic I saw him withdraw further into himself. We tried almost every sport and nothing was working for us. We saw rising sun martial arts one day when we were walking around downtown abacoa and he wanted to give it a try. Neil was so helpful setting up that first trial class. Everyone was so welcoming and they made sure they already knew my sons name and addressed him directly. My son fell in love with everything Rising Sun Martial arts has to offer(especially the jab, cross, hook). After three classes my son looked at me and said he was proud of himself. My husband and I fell in love with the self-control, respect, and focus that they instill in each of their students. My son is sweating by the end of class and begs us to take him everyday. We are so happy that we joined the Rising Sun Martial Arts family.
We absolutely love rising sun! My 8 yr old daughter is very, very shy and hasn’t previously liked any organized sports that we have signed her up for. We were looking for something and randomly came across a Facebook ad where she could try it out for 2 weeks at no cost. I figured what is there to loose? We signed up after our second class!!! We have now been part of rising sun for around 6 months and I’ve noticed a major positive change in my daughters behavior. She no longer avoids conversations, she is present in conversations and also maintains direct eye contact. Both the owner and Mr. Navedo are fantastic! They take the classes seriously as well as allow the kids to have fun!!
My daughter has been at Rising Sun Martial Arts of Jupiter for 1 year and 6 months. Ever since shes in her Martial Art class, she excelled so much from her 4th- 5th grade elementary school either in Math, Science and English. And Im proud to say that she is admitted at Bak Middle School of the Arts this coming school year. Thanks to Guro Neil for enforcing good discipline, confidence, respect and leadership. By the way, my daughter is also currently enrolled in Black Belt Leadership Training ( its an awesome 30 min course that focus on public speaking and leadership) and I know without a doubt she will need it along the way.Theres many reasons why I signed her up almost 2 yrs ago despite our busy schedule. One, is for self-defense. Second, is to gain confidence. Third, is her lack of sports. But, you know what, she got more than she needs at Rising Sun Martial Arts (Jupiter).Guro Neil is not only a Black Belt Martial Arts teacher, hes a veteran (person who served in the military). He strives to instill the military values such as respect, caring, integrity, loyalty in his students through high expectations and firm discipline.Guro Daniel is also another reason my daughter loves martial arts. She loves kids and she is very approachable, if you have questions. Also a dedicated teacher. She is really an asset at Rising Sun Martial Arts.One of my daughters elementary teacher recognized how amazingly smart she is. Well, its one of our secrets but it wont be for long, now that you know...You should check it out!!!-----With Respect From The Heart ------
My 5 year son during the pandemic started to become very fearful of any change and was not being quite himself. Rising Suns Filipino Martial arts approach is unique to traditional karate and within 2-3 I have seen a boost In my sons confidence, discipline and excitement to try new things ( like confidently introducing himself to adults ). Teachers Mr Buzick and Mr Navedo are truly passionate about seeing the children grow and develop not just in martial arts but in themselves. So grateful to have found them. My son truly can’t wait for his classes each week.
Rising Sun does such a great job of combining learning, fun, discipline and confidence building for its students through the vehicle of karate. They lead by example and really take a personal interest in the advancement of the kids in the class. Top notch operation run by top notch teachers!
I am very impressed with many aspects of Rising Sun Martial Arts. My son started attending just before quarantine and looked forward to his Zoom Martial Arts classes. Once they opened up, he started attending at the facility and has attended all summer long. His confidence has soared. They are professional, friendly and make learning martial arts so fun for the kids.
This was a wonderful learning experience for me and all my friends. The owner was very helpful in teaching me self defense as an 18 year old girl going into college. Going forward I will be much more aware of my surroundings thanks to Neil. I highly reccomend this class for any man or woman looking for a self defense class.
My son has been taking Rising Suns virtual classes for a few months now. He loves it! He has learned so much and I can really see an improvement in his self confidence. The instructors are very engaging and make it fun for the kids. I really appreciate their professionalism, enthusiasm, and emphasis on respect.
Rising Sun has been an amazing outlet for our kids as we transitioned to working and schooling from home. They look forward to each virtual lesson, and taking class with the other students. They have increased their skill levels in a short time, and we are really proud of all their achievements!!
Neil gave a great women’s protection seminar today for me and some friends. We decided we wanted to take a self defense class before heading off to college and he gave us some great tips and techniques that I will for sure use in the future. I definitely recommend coming for a class to anyone who wants more information on self protection.
Our son, Eli, joined Rising Sun Martial Arts when the quarantine let up a tad and we were still remote learning. Stir crazy syndrome was rapant in our home! It was important for Eli (and for us!) to have an outlet at least a couple times a week and Rising Sun was that outlet. Not only was it an outlet but it was a channel for NUMEROUS emotions and feelings happening in these uncertain times. Eli has emotionally and physically grown in these last few months; focus, discipline and respect for HIMSELF and others...confidence! Mr. Buzick and team are fantastic! They not only instruct in the art of Philipino Martial Arts but LIFE SKILLS and tap into the students self worth and self discipline. We are very grateful for Mr. Buzick and the staff at Rising Sun Martial Arts and look forward to watching our son grow within the art and himself especially!
We love Rising Sun! The instructors are amazing and my son loves going to class. The instructors are very encouraging and they build every childs confidence and self esteem through positive recognition and their yes I can attitude. My son had a hard time with focus and attention prior to starting at Rising Sun. The classes have improved these issues immensely! It makes me really proud to see how far he has come. Highly recommend!!
I had an amazing experience at the Rising Sun Martial Arts facility! Neil was very informative and passionate about spreading awareness in self defense/protection. I had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this to friends and people of any age.
Our experience at Rising Sun Martial Arts began with a special event and transformed to apprentices. It was immediately clear that this martial arts school was different. The youth classes are focused on both martial arts and social aspects - how to contribute at home, how to respect peers and instructors and how to respond appropriately to bullying, for example. The owner and leader of the school truly sees our kids and adjusts styles to their needs. Fully recommend.
Absolutely love this place. We have been members almost 2 years. The confidence Mr B and Mr Navedo have helped develop in my daughter is amazing. She fully enjoys her classes. When Covid-19 hit our area and lock down began, they immediately came up with a plan to keep the kids fully engaged in their learning. We are very thankful and cant wait to get back to in studio classes.
Our son has been attending here for about 3 years and the growth we have seen in him is phenomenal. He started in the little ninja program and has progressed to the advanced class along with the leadership course. The overall growth in his confidence and general ability to interact with others has been significant. He has improved his overall ability to speak in front of groups along with learning the technical aspects of martial arts. This program works to make your child a better all-around person through the use of martial arts and positive reinforcement. The instructors take great care in ensuring that they know each student personally and take the extra effort to engage them. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results and our son looks forward to class.
My girls (ages 5 and 7) love it. My husband and I love that they are focused on improving their skills and working towards the next belt. The girls are pushing themselves physically and constantly trying to out kick each other at home. Their confidence is growing and we are excited about the next steps. It spills over into their other activities such as Brownies and basketball.
My son has been a member of Rising Sun martial arts for 4 yrs now, he began when he was 4 yrs old. Watching the development of my son over these years has been many things, fun, exciting, proud and rewarding. The interaction with other students and adults and the development of coordination and discipline has had tremendous benefits. The consistency of structure at Rising Sun is unmatched in the Jupiter area, I know because I’ve taken the time to visit other schools. While the other schools did follow a schedule, none had the command over their students the way Rising Sun does and that’s so important for efficiency and effectiveness when developing childrens life skills. I couldn’t have made a better choice for my son when choosing who and where he will be assisted in becoming the best he can be.
Guru Neil and his staff are fabulous. My daughter is leaving for college in August and he developed a 2 hour self defense class just for her and her friends. They are always accommodating and run a tight and very clean shop
When we looked at martial arts studios, I wasnt necessarily looking for a rigid program that would build my sons confidence or help him be more respectful or focused. I was more concerned with a program that helped his coordination and gave him exercise that he could do and feel accomplished with, as he has a neurological condition that limits his coordination and motor planning skills.So imagine how thankful I am that the Lil Ninjas program was exactly what I was looking for and MORE! Luke has found confidence in himself I didnt realize was lacking, and the fun physical activities hes been part of have not only positively encouraged him, but helped build his coordination and motor planning ability in an authentic way that hes thoroughly enjoyed. There were many times in the program that Luke was discouraged because some of the activities were challenging to him, and all the Guros took their own time to talk with him, build him up and reassure him that they were there to help him succeed. There is little better than the look of pride on your sons face when he realizes he overcame a challenge, and those who helped him did so with sole focus on building his character and his confidence.We are a military family, and must move, but there is no doubt that Id continue with Rising Sun until my son was a black belt, and there is no doubt that if we could stay, hed be supremely trained.
The girls have learned respect, discipline, and work ethic in order to achieve a goal. The girls also love the ability to see other kids virtually during this pandemic, and the staff at Rising Sun do a great job of making that happen! The communication of when things are taking place is a key part of making this a please for kids and parents!
Very happy for my granddaughter with the training. She loves it and I’ve seen her self discipline improve. Also attend weekly camps numerous times.
Rising Sun Martial Arts has been the most incredible, educational, fun experience for our two children especially during Covid times! Mr. Buzik and Mr. Navedo have nurtured and taught our kids to be strong, confident, focused, helpful, and passionate about martial arts! Their coaching style is engaging for kids of all ages! It is fun while still creating respect, discipline, and excellence in their forms. My children have excelled in coordination, and have generally benefited all around from being part of Rising Sun Martial Arts in Jupiter, FL. Thank You RSMA for becoming a huge part of our new life in Jupiter!Edit: we have now been at Risingsun martial arts of Jupiter for over a year! My children have grown exponentially this past year and are absolutely capable of defending themselves. They are also more respectful, more creative, and happier because they have somewhere safe to let off all that crazy energy! We absolutely love Mr. Busick and his team!
Enrolling my two children at Rising Sun has been one of the best decisions I have made for my children. The owner/staff at Rising Sun are so invested in the overall well being of the children. Their mental and physical growth is obvious and they absolutely love attending classes.I even tear up during class, belt tests and belt graduation because it is so inspirational and supportive. The kids just love the recognition and feel so confident.
We are loving Rising Sun! It’s crazy to see the difference in my daughter’s confidence and in her pride in helping where ever she can around the house or in our family! She looks forward to classes each week and takes pride in putting on her uniform and practicing her skills. Mr. Buzick is AWESOME with the kids and parents as well! I would definitely recommend Rising Sun to other parents! The positive impact it can have on your child is irreplaceable!
The instruction at Rising Sun has helped my 7 year old daughter immensely! Not only has she gained strength and coordination, but her confidence in social interactions and ability to speak up for herself and others has improved. She has been taking classes for about 9 months and the gains she is experiencing are incredible. Very impressive program.
Rising Sun is not like any other program we have seen. My daughter has been attending for almost 2 years now. We love the positivity the instructors give and the “Yes I can“ attitude they teach the kids. The patience and calmness they have with her is amazing. Especially when she loses focus and becomes distracted. Not only do we attend class but she loves the camps they offer as well. They keep the kids busy and plan different activities for each day!
My girls first started here in summer camp and have not stopped since. They are getting stronger, have more confidence, and cannot wait to go. It is engaging, fast paced, and never boring. The instructors keep them engaged from start to finish and 45 minutes goes by quickly!
Our son has been attending the Little Ninjas class for the past 3 months. He always leaves class feeling good. His instructors are awesome with the kids and always incorporate life lessons and positive motivation into each lesson. I highly recommend Riding Sun Martial Arts to any parent who is looking for a fun learning environment, where your kids will learn discipline, respect, and martial skill while having fun at the same time!
After 3 months of training at Rising Sun, both my daughters (7 & 5 yrs old) ability to focus on tasks and follow detailed instructions have increased.Both are more “coachable” and disciplined in everyday activities. Manners, eye contact, and confidence are all more evident. I couldn’t be happier with the decision to enroll them in Rising Sun.
My daughter expressed interest in karate and we decided to give Rising Sun a try. She fell right in to the rhythm of the class and totally loves going. The instructors are incredibly supportive and motivating and she has shown much more discipline and maturity.
After attending a few trial classes at Rising Sun, we were sold. Our 5 year old has always struggled with confidence and has extreme reactions to fear and change. Since enrolling at Rising Sun, he’s gained so much confidence and his “yes I can” attitude has helped him conquer his fears. I credit Martial Arts for making his transition to kindergarten a bit smoother and easier than we were expecting. The instructors are fantastic, the classes are structured but fun and effective and there are classes that work for working parents.
What a great place for the kids to learn martial arts! My kids are really enjoying their classes, building confidence and making new friends. So many life skills being taught here self defense, following instructions, staying focused, discipline, character, respect...
Before my son started at Rising Sun, he struggled with making eye contact, speaking up, and focusing. He was also a little awkward when doing anything active. In the past year, he has become more and more confident, determined, and driven. He speaks up when communicating, he makes eye contact when speaking and listening, he completes tasks with ease, he is physical strong, and now enjoys teaching others. The compassion and joy he exhibits while achieving is such a delight to witness as a parent. His father and I attribute this to his instructors abilities to show our son that determination and grit can go a long way.
I love Rising Sun but so does our 9 year old son. His confidence, leadership skills & belief in his ability has gotten an extra boost. We love the values instilled on and off the mat in real life...respect self and others, responsibility; accountable for their actions, effort in everything they do and failure is not a bad thing...but an opportunity to do your best. Definitely continuing this activity for our son & foster positive life habits. You guys are awesome. So happy we signed up our son with Rising Sun Martial Arts.
Our son has shown emotional, physically & mental growth since joining Rising Sun Martial Arts to help him be successful in life! Instructors are caring & always encouraging to the kids. Great place for children to develop the skills they need in life.
Great learning environment, different from other Martial Arts schools, kids are able to improve their leadership skills and mental health. It goes beyond physical health! Keep up the good work Mr. B!
During the time our daughter has been attending classes at Rising Sun she has made incredible progress toward self-confidence, focus, working toward goals, and leadership. As a perfectionist, she is quick to give up when something she does isnt just right. Guru Neil and his staff provide opportunities to try and to learn in a consistent and encouraging environment. Their focus is on effort and not on product. Our daughter is learning that perfect doesnt happen the first time. It happens through lots and lots of practice and perseverance, even when you may feel like quitting. As the mom of a girl, I couldnt ask for a better life lesson. She is learning to depend on herself and her own effort and strength to accomplish her goals. Shes having lots of fun too! Thank you to Guru Neil and the entire team at Rising Sun for your consistency and dedication. Youre teaching our children skills that will give them strength no matter what life throws their way!
Rising Sun Martial Arts is one of the best things we have done for our kids. It a great place for kids to learn not just discipline, but structure, and both mental and physical growth.The Rising Sun staff also help us parents, to prepair the kids for school and how to perform at their best and be respectful to teachers, parents, and others.My kids love Rising Sun Martial Arts, and so as my wife and I.
The amount of self-esteem, poise, confidence and mental toughness our son has grown through his participation at Rising Sun has been astounding. As parents we strive to provide the absolute very best for our son. Having the reassurance of such an amazing group of people here at Rising Sun, helping to instill the core fundamentals of becoming productive members of our society, is vital. The group of men and women at Rising Sun display the very best examples of what we try and teach our kids on a daily basis and reinforce our efforts at home. Rising Sun is more than just a martial arts studio- we feel that our son is growing up as part of the Rising Sun family.
Great place for kids. My daughter feels more confident and love to go there.The staff does an excellent job to keep the children engage and motivated.
My son started taking classes for summer break and there’s no turning back. He loves it. Hes been able to focus more, show respect more frequently, and I can see the confidence it has instilled in him. Im looking forward to enrolling my daughter in the future.
My twin 8 year old daughters have been taking martial arts classes at Rising Sun for 6 months now. I think its important to teach young girls about respect and confidence, and I have found that Rising Sun Martial Arts classes are a great way to instill that in their young growing minds. I have also had the pleasure of taking classes with them, and it has been a wonderful bonding experience for the three of us to earn belts together. We have all earned out yellow belts and this weekend we will be attending another belt ceremony. It has been so enjoyable for me as their mother to be able to participate in an activity like this with them, instead of sitting on the sidelines playing with my phone in between watching the class. The experience how we are having as a family together with Rising Sun is priceless and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow with my daughters.
My son loves to go there twice every week! It builds his self confidence, he learns to follow instructions from his teacher and he understands better about self discipline and how to defend himself with bullying! I highly recommend this place for your kids! It’s a great investment and worth your time and resources!#DONE
Both of my daughters started the class because of the very attractive introductory cost. My oldest daughter, Christina, has continued the classes while my younger tries to balance her schedule with volleyball and school. Christina absolutely loves the class. She finds it to be so encouraging yet physically demanding. Her confidence in her abilities continues to grow. All the instructors are very affirming, yet expect respect for the class and the process of learning. They constantly interact with the parents by including them in this process of growth. They teach respect for classmates, the class leaders and elders at home and elsewhere. Christinas confidence is growing in many areas because of this class. On more than one occasion she has shared with me how thankful she is that we signed her up for this program. Thanks so much to Neil and all the instructors. That goes for the Student Instructors as well. We have been very pleased in the short time we have been involved (about 1.5 mths).
My son began attending classes three months ago, and in that time has absolutely enjoyed every class and is looking forward to his first belt graduation this week.The instructors spend time making sure all students become proficient, yet are not militant and drill like, which is often off-putting for the younger children. Every class is different and fun and include new games and skills on a regular basis. The children are regularly encouraged to take leadership in demonstrating skills, forms, and reciting their creed, which gives even the young ones so much personal ownership and self confidence. Each week also has themes (such as focus, confidence, manners, and safety) in which they are awarded stripes, allowing them to feel as though they have small accomplishments in between their belt promotions.It is easy to tell that the owners and staff take great pride in their work. They continue to invest time and money into keeping their school fresh and on the cutting edge of martial arts education. The staff works wonderfully together, and treat each other with respect and kindness. The owner/ instructor (male) and main instructor (female) both lead and assist in classes equally. Other schools we visited gave only limited roles to their female instructors. It is important that my son sees women in strong, positive, leadership roles, and at Rising Sun he has the opportunity to not only learn from an amazing female instructor, but take classes that are also gender-mixed. My son has enjoyed his time with and appreciated all his instructors; he loves sharing news with them, like when he lost his first tooth, or whenever he goes somewhere new, and they always seem genuinely interested in his stories.I considered multiple establishments before committing to Rising Sun for my son. Their enthusiasm, commitment to quality, and passion for teaching has been nothing short of wonderful.
“You Rock” – Learn it; Love it; Believe it. This is the token phrase when we leave Rising Sun Martial Arts. These words are so important to my child as well as myself. After his first class, my son told us, “I like Martial Arts. It makes me feel good.” And, when he faces a challenge, we reminded him of the “Yes I Can” attitude fostered by Guru Neil, at Rising Sun Martial Arts.We joined the program because our child needed self-confidence; he was not achieving this through traditional sports. Now, he looks forward to going to class and practices what he learns. He hangs his uniform neatly after class and counts the stripes on his belt…always wanting to get to the next level.Class is broken down into 5 segments, each roughly 7 minutes long: warm-up, Form, personal safety, “sticks” and pendulum side kick. Students must demonstrate these skills in “Black Belt” form. If not, Guru Neil and his qualified staff will assist. Students are required to meet a certain skill level, or they are encouraged to retry. This motivates students to WANT to do well and WANT to succeed: a mission all of us strive to achieve.A positive attitude promotes good behavior and respect for others. Make the sun shine for your child at Rising Sun Martial Arts.
My son started martial arts at Rising Sun after attending a birthday party there this summer. I immediately saw how much he was enjoying it and taking it very seriously. We signed up very shortly after. I love all of the emphasis on respect & kindness & leadership! I see a confidence in my son that he didnt quite have before. He also attended a bullying seminar that was simply AMAZING!
We attended a free event at Rising Sun Martial Arts about a month ago just to check it out. Ive always wanted my daughter to take a martial arts class but never took the initiative to actually look for a class. She enjoyed that class so much we tried a couple of more classes on a trial basis and she absolutely fell in love. I cannot tell you how much she enjoys going to Karate class. Mr B and Mr Rojas take a lot of pride in making sure that each student is learning, building self esteem and having fun. To see a child like mine who is usually on the quiet side reach within herself and make her self heard in her black belt voice makes me so proud. We are so happy we found Rising Sun!
I am seriously impressed by the nearly immediate positive responses I am seeing in my children from this program. The parents, as well as the kids, are offered tangible tools that they can carry back home. Habit 1, be proactive, has had an immediate impact on both of my kids, encouraging them to take some initiative without me harassing them. Being that they are 5 and 8, thats pretty awesome. I highly recommend Rising Sun.
Rising Sun has been such a godsend for our family. We have 2 of our boys in classes there. We have seen such a remarkable improvement in the confidence of our younger son. With our older son, who is on the Autism Spectrum, we have seem his confidence grow as well as his focus. Both of our boys have matured and have begun believing in themselves and their abilities. The structure of the classes keep the children engaged and fun. Guru Neil as well as the other Gurus have been amazing. They go out of their way to make each child feel welcome and make sure they are enjoying learning and growing. We are so happy to be part of the Rising Sun family.
Only been in it for couple of weeks now but def family orientated environment and good structure for my son. New to these things and the owner and other instructors have been open to many questions that I do have and ways to lead my son in right direction with confidence, respect, and discipline. It is definitely a learning process along with your child and the instructors. Very pleased so far they do an awesome job with each individual kids needs
My daughter started at Rising Sun Martial Arts not long ago and we have only great things to say about her experience there. Guru Neil and his staff are upbeat, positive instructors that my daughter looks up to and respects. The lessons they impart extend beyond martial arts and serve as maxims for life; learning them early gives her an advantage for the future.My daughter also likes the additional events offered beyond regularly scheduled classes. It is clear to me that Guru Neil and his staff are committed to providing exceptional martial arts and life training to their students. We plan to continue our daughters training with Rising Sun Martial Arts for as long as we can.
We absolutely love the FABULOUS Rising Sun Martial Arts of Jupiter!!! Our son has been attending classes for the last 7 weeks and he cant get enough of it! Weve seen a wonderful change in his behavior, at home and at school. His ability to engage in tasks of self-discipline, focus, and confidence has significantly improved. Every class, our son looks forward to seeing his instructors and challenging himself. As parents, we look forward to the strategies Rising Sun has to share with us, as well as, witnessing our sons continuous growth and enthusiasm for learning! :)Thank you Rising Sun of Jupiter!!!
My 9 yr old daughter loves attending classes at Rising Sun Martial Arts. The classes are fun and keeps kids physically active while teaching them focus and positive behavior. The teachers are dedicated to their craft and are amazingly engaged with the kids so the kids reciprocate this behavior. Martial arts combined with learning great habits that are useful to every day life and confidence building exercises are key benefits we (as a family) get from this school. Parents are also engaged in the process and at the end of each class, kids tell us that we rock and we tell them that they rock, too! Super cool. Want to rock, too? Go for it! :)
My Son started about a month ago and he loves it. He likes “everything” in his 35 min. classes. They give out loud and clear instructions, follow through, and constantly encourage kids to be focused and be successful. You can tell that they are passionate about raising those kids confidence. They address kids with names, instructors observe well and praise often. A lot of energy a lot of love, a lot of laughter, and so much cuteness in little Ninjya class. They focus on one life skills per week and I can address at home. It is very helpful as parent. It’s fun to watch each class too. Really nice place. Recommend to all!
We are thrilled that our son receives training at Rising Sun! We have seen a dramatic change in his confidence and ability to follow directions. He always has a smile on his face in the gym and he really enjoys attending classes twice a week. All of the instructors are wonderful with kids. The children are so well behaved during class which proves that they have respect for all of the instructors. Our 3 yo son also enjoys practicing at home and looks forward to taking classes very soon!
I am a nanny for 2 children that attend martial arts at Rising Sun. The girls love everything about martial arts especially when they learn new moves to practice all week. Not only do the instructors instruct the correct way to do things they also participate with the students as well and lead by example. The girls have grown emotionally with a great yes I can attitude and I think Rising Sun Martial Arts has a lot to do with it. The children learn 4 important parts of martial arts balance, fitness, respect and control. I personally feel these steps are good for life as well. I recommend you sign your children up not just for self defence but also for a self esteem booster.
As Bruce Lee pointed out.... “Behind the punches, kicks, and knees, a true martial artist learns to sit with himself and see where his weaknesses are” At Rising Sun your child will learn how hard work and sweat equity is the key to success. As a martial arts student, my son has learned to be still, challenged and focused. In a place where technology is not an option, a place where our kids forget about their phones, tablets or flat screen TVs... just hard work, respect and concentration. Rising Sun is more than than your regular martial arts school, kicks or punches. They transformed my child’s life in so many ways that I’ll be eternally grateful to Mr B and his exceptional staff. Through the martial arts intervention, my son developed an amazing self confidence and was provided with the tools to defend himself and others . He is no longer the same child that he was when he entered the program. Through the years, Angel had a significant improvement on his academics, as well as his social and emotional self efficacy. Although the goal is to avoid situations where a child needs to use self-defense tactics, being enrolled in a martial arts program gives your children the ability to cope with the effects of bullying and helps them to gain strength, endurance and balance. Without a doubt, martial arts wont give your kids any superpower, but they will benefit from the focus, discipline and respectful behavior that will transfer to other areas in their lives as well. Thank you!Giselle Matos
We put our son to try little ninja class. We were worried that he may not fit there as he was less than 5 and not focused (to say it politically correct :) ). The classes are flexible - you are allowed to pick 2 days of the week and different times when you sign up. Depending on the day/time, you have less than 10 or around 20 kids but it actually does not matter, they all work to sweat. Always 3 or sometimes even 4 teachers! Kids in playful manner learn how to focus, right stance, improve stamina. Dont be mislead by word playful. The class is very focused, structured and teaches discipline in natural way. The teachers are wonderful and make all the efforts to improve your kids! Despite teachers act professional, kids really love them, my son was hugging Michelle before the class, and she could not get him off her :) The business is very very personal, Neil and teachers are reaching out to parents and are very accessible. Unfortunately, we had to take out our son for personal reasons (stopped even before end of trial period), despite we saw progress and really loved the place. Neil wanted to return our money for trial and did not want to take back our sons uniform that we received free of charge when we just sign up. We did not want our money back because they were well earned! We really hope to get back there when our situation permits. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place and the teachers!
When my wife got our son a 6 week trial period at Rising Sun I was happy he would be learning self defense and discipline. After the trial period I was really proud that he made the choice to keep going until he had his black belt. He is learning so much more than I had expected or hoped for. He is learning life skills: what to do if he gets lost, if a stranger approaches him, how to defend himself, teamwork, family respect, and hard work are all essential parts of a happy life. The entire staff is dedicated to providing a fun-loving class for the children. I think it is a great place that I can see my younger child starting there when they are older.
This is a wonderful place to learn martial arts! Neil, Mr. Rojas and Ashley offer a complete package for education, training, mental and physical development, but most of all habits that children and adults can learn and apply in their daily lives. Neil and his team use positive reinforcement, humor, and attention to detail to help every single student succeed. The instructors help the children learn respect, discipline, and how to think for themselves and to realize these crucial steps are needed to succeed in life.Both of my sons (ages 6 and 7) have been attending Rising Sun Martial Arts for just a few months and both boys are excited to attend class more with each visit. The skills that they are learning in class they are starting to apply at home! What more could a Mom ask for? I love seeing them work hard, focus on their martial art skills, get out some healthy energy, and learn to work well with others. I would definitely check out a class so that you can see what the program has to offer! All of the instructors are fantastic! I can’t say enough about each one of them! I am just beyond impressed with Mr. Rojas who has the patience of gandhi with my youngest son. He really is a wonderful mentor to the kids. I am so happy that we found Rising Sun!
Excellent instruction in the martial arts. Not only builds discipline and physical awareness, but also builds on mental strength and confidence. Top-notch school and instructor. Highly recommended for any student or adult seeking a worthy activity.
My daughter was born with cleft lip and palate. She has difficulty with her speech and expressive language. School is difficulty so I wanted to find something that she would enjoy and build her confidence. Rising Sun Martial Arts of Jupiter has done that and more. She smiles the entire time she is in class. She loves it. As a plus for me not only has this built her confidence it is instilling good character traits in her. From being focused to a Yes I can attitude Rising Sun builds her social and emotional skills. Rising Sun is a place to build physical and health habits. Thank you to the positive and supportive instructors for creating a great environment.
My son started at Rising Sun when he turned 4 yrs old. He has been there 8 months and has a ton of fun each & every class. More importantly, he is beginning to develop very valuable life lessons including discipline, self confidence, control, listening skills, coordination and strength. Thank you Guru Neil, Mr. Rojas, Ms. Sheffield and everyone else at Rising Sun for being so welcoming to Colin. We look forward to seeing his growth & progress while getting a chance to meet new friends along the way!
The staff is very flexible with make up classes if needed. They focus not only on physical fitness and martial arts, but also on discipline and the importance of school and education.Before moving on to different forms and movements they ensure that each student has the correct execution and understanding of what is currently being taught.They also offer other things. There are summers camps and parents nights out. The kids have a great time learning martial arts and playing games, then get to eat pizza with their friends. My son always wants to go to the parents night out.
This is the best martial arts school around, Ive tried others! Instructors are clear and concise. Students know what is expected of them and they want to perform their best in each class. Classes go beyond the martial arts realm and they integrate everyday life skills such as commitment, responsibility and performing your best in everything.
Our daughter Angelina is a rising star at Rising Sun Martial Arts of Jupiter! With the help of Guru Neil and his excellent staff she is blossoming into a self-confident young lady. I have been a law enforcement defensive tactics/ground control instructor for several years and from a professional perspective Rising Sun is a great influence on our young people. I see our children learning discipline, respect, self-control, and most of all a sky-is-the-limit attitude. From a dads perspective, I am proud of my little girls progression and see her using all that she is being taught throughout her life! Thank you Rising Sun for your commitment to our children you are appreciated!
Both of my kids love it at Rising Sun. My son is in the martial arts program and my daughter attends camp there during school breaks. It’s the perfect balance of structure and fun to keep them engaged and learning.
Could not be more happy after enrolling my daughter at this gym. Her grades have improved and self-confidence is through the roof!! She looks forward to going every time! Keep up the great work!
I have two children in Guru Neils program and they absolutely love it! One of them has ADHD and has a hard time focusing and making (and retaining) friends. Her confidence level has just blossomed and she has made several new friendships that she is beyond excited about. Seeing her level of concentration slowly grow and level out has been an absolute miracle...and I can only thank Rising Sun Martial Arts for that. My son is a typical 4-year old boy that is all go-go-go and seeing him not only respond so readily to Guru Neil and the others is wonderful to see. He actually stops the monkey-business and gives full attention to the class and manages to stay focused the entire time. I honestly didnt think that would be possible. I have also taken a self-defense class and can now confidently walk my dogs at night without fear of being unable to defend myself. Guru Neil has an ability to break things down and really explain not only the technique, but also the reason and benefit behind the technique. Its makes sense and it practical and real-world....and modern. He doesnt get into the eastern religion and dogma of martial arts, which is refreshing to say the least. Needless to say - we love the programs he offers and will continue to do so for a long time to come. :)
The owner is very personable, and takes great pride in his work. The lessons are a great personal experience for the students, building discipline, confidence, exercise, and respect. The emphasis is also on having fun. The kids look forward to their lessons and are eager to show off what they learned. Great extra curricular for your child, especially the shy to join in.
We really didnt know what to expect. Neither my wife nor myself have ever been involved with martial arts, but this program is one of the best experiences weve had as parents.There is great discipline, life lessons, and most importantly FUN with all of the martial arts that they learn.There are plenty of classes to choose from for the different levels and free make-up classes.We all love it!
Rising Sun has been amazing! My kids have been going there for a few months and it has changed life, not only for them but for me. It used to be that they would fight to stay home from sports. Now they cant wait to go to Martial Arts - sometimes they ask to go more than 2x/week.All of the staff is amazing! They are firm with the children, but they are also super caring. They have a way of getting the children to listen and be respectful all while having fun. After being to a few different martial arts studios, none of them compare to Rising Sun!If youve been looking for a place to take your kids so they become disciplined, self-confident and learn how to defend themselves from bullies, Rising Sun is the place to go.
Rising Sun Martial Arts is not like other schools or dojos around. The staff deliver structured lessons that are focused on teaching students to be disciplined, dedicated, and confident. They use every opportunity to build character, encourage positives behaviors, and promote success at home, at school, and in the community.Since attending Rising Sun Martial Arts, my husband and I have been pleased with our sons growth; emotionally, physically, mentally, and socially. He has been extremely respectful at home, excited to attend school, focused on being his best self, confident when speaking to others, and eager to help his community.
Our son has been a member at rising sun martial arts for 6 months now and looks forward to every single class. Guru Neil and all the gurus have taught him to be a more confident, focused and disciplined student. He also had the MOST amazing birthday party there and all the kids had a BLAST! Highly recommend rising sun martial arts!
Our kids are VERY active, we often had difficulty with sitting, attention, listening, and following directions. I cant say enough about the progress they have made in all of these areas since they started in the little ninjas classes at Rising Sun. They sit quietly, respond to commands and questions, show respect for others who are talking, and the list goes on. Neil and his staff treat every child as an individual and somehow remember all of their names, while keeping them fully engaged during class. I cant say enough great things about Rising Sun and the positive impact it has had in our boys lives; both now as children and also in their development into someday becoming respectful and confident young men. Thank you Rising Sun!!!
As a former military man, I appreciate the emphasis on respect, perseverance, and growth mindset Guru Neil and his staff instill throughout their school. I signed our daughter up for Martial Arts, hoping she would tap into these life lessons in a fun and constructive environment. Over the past year, Ive watched our little girl gain confidence, learn to depend on herself, and feel pride in herself and those around her. In an ever-changing world, kids today need to feel grounded and know yes, they can. My wife and I will be forever grateful to Guru Neil and his staff for helping to establish this foundation for our daughter. We know she will continue to develop these skills and draw from them no matter what life brings her way. By helping countless children develop themselves into self-actualized, upstanding community members, Guru Neil and his staff are truly making the world a better place. Thank you!
Rising Sun Martial Arts has a great program for children. Guru Neil and Cody are very charismatic and keep the children motivated, entertained, and focused throughout the class. They are a very positive influence on the children. My daughter is 6 and she was very hesitant to try it out at first, and now she absolutely loves going to class. Shes excited to go and excited when shes finished, and cant wait to go back for the next class. Im very happy to see her focus, attention, and the efforts she puts forth every time.
We just had a fantastic birthday party here! Neil is always evolving and teaching positive brain training!My son is very passionate about his work here! He has a blast in class. He has a giant smile on his face when he is learning the moves. The instructors are extremely positive calling out each childs name and making them feel important ! This is a great studio for a child that struggles with focus and attention. They do a super job at keeping the kids engaged and sharp!! I have been elsewhere and Love this place!!!
Rising Sun is awesome! Beyond learning Marshall arts, kids develop life skills such as self discipline, focus, and leadership skills. They will leave Rising Sun feeling more confident than ever! I highly recommend this center!
Rising Sun Martial Arts is an excellent school. Kids learn how to defend themselves from bullies, which we all know is still an issue today in grade school. They learn respect, discipline and every month they are taught a special word of the month . For example the month of May is Teamwork, the kids learn about the selected word and how they can help each other using teamwork. I highly recommend starting your child up with Rising Sun Martial Arts, they teach a different style of karate, a more modern style! Something the kids can take with them where ever they go! The instructors are just fabulous! They obviously know how to work with children and know their martial arts ! Wonderful school, great location, and lovely atmosphere!
Rising Sun has totally transformed my son. He started last year as a shy little boy who could barely talk in front of others...and in just over a year, he’s the first to raise his hand and volunteer to answer questions, and loves performing his martial arts moves in front of anyone and everyone! We are so pleased with his growth mentally, physically and emotionally.
