"I've been going to Rising Sun for four years now. It's such a welcoming place and I've learned so much and even competed a few times. Everyone there is so sweet and very supportive. Rising Sun is like my second home, it's a comforting environment always filled with positivity💕 I definitely recommend you try this dojo, whether you have experience or not, you'll always be accepted."
"I was visiting from FL and Rising Sun was the first school to pop up on my search near where I was staying. I’m so glad it was. Trained 3 nights and everyone was really cool. Great training atmosphere, tough rolls, and really friendly people! There was a lot of talent in the room! Dennis is a great person and instructor! I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town and I highly recommend you check them out if you live nearby and want to start training! You won’t regret it!"
"This place is awesome. Love how friendly the environment is but also love that when it's time to put in work, you work and learn."
"I started doing BJJ here in the beginning of the year and I love it. The atmosphere is extremely welcoming and has a great family vibe. Everyone is friendly and helpful and more than willing to share their knowledge. The instructors communicate well and ensure that you understand what you're doing before moving on and are very encouraging. I only wish I had more time to spend at this place."
