Testimonials

"Our daughter had a lovely 8th birthday party at Rise. Not only did all of her friends have a blast learning forms and playing games, but the other parents kept saying what a fun concept it was for a child's birthday party. To top it all off, she got to cut her birthday cake with a real sword! Albeit with help from Master Lee. I highly recommend having your child's next birthday party at Rise. You will not be disappointed. "

- Eddie.

"My son, Roman, has been a student at Rise Martial Arts for a couple of years, and he was excited to celebrate his 7th birthday at Rise with his friends. Everyone had a great time playing games and learning some taekwondo moves led by a couple of our favorite Rise instructors, Mr. Casey and Mr. Reed. They made things so easy and provided our choice of snacks for the kids. Roman's favorite parts were being a black belt for the day and cutting his cake with a samurai sword. It was a great experience for everyone and it was a very memorable birthday for him."

- Andrea Waller Fenton.

"Rise Martial Arts brought out the confidence, excitement and hard working energy from my 9 year old daughter that no other sport has. She is so excited to go each week and work towards new belts and tournaments. The staff and owners here are second to none! Oh and the birthday parties are legitimately the best we have ever experienced!! 5 stars across the board!"

- Samantha Hubbs Fenton.

"My son has been attending Rise Martial Arts about 7 months. He is ADHD and receives services at school for fine motor and gross motor skills, in addition to academic services. During our time at Rise, I have witnessed growth in all areas. My son's confidence has improved immensely. He is also eager to learn new skills and receive feedback from the instructors. Master Lee and all of the instructors at Rise are patient and committed to ensuring all of the students are progressing, while also emphasizing the importance of respect, integrity, perseverance and focus. Character development is embedded in each class, which I see put in to practice at home with Logan. His ability to focus is improving, which has always been a major struggle. I am happy I decided to enroll my son at Rise Martial Arts!"

"This is a family run, Martial Arts studio and not a day care. Don't get me wrong, the instructors are magic with the little kids to get them to run, kick and dodge. I consider one of, if not the best stand up martial arts place. I've got the whole family enrolled now. It's an ATA Taekwondo gym, but there is a mix of martial arts instruction when it comes to self defense. In addition it is not a black belt factory, so expect to put in time and effort. If anything this place is a champion factory. I've watched kids, teenagers and adults blossom at Rise, which includes the fam and me too! The place is clean, which is important to me. My kids have been going for about 18 months and love it. Everyone is super nice, welcoming and helpful. Some of the best moments of every week are at Rise and the family ride to and from! I could go on and on about how great Rise is. "

“Rise has become a very special part my kid's life. I have seen him grow and learn basic life skills under a very caring and professional instruction. Their option of having Zoom lessons has been a great way to share with other kids during the times that we have had to stay home. ”

- Maria Alfaro
I have seen him grow and learn.
