"my daughter is 10 years old and loves this school! she has learned how to be a leader and now assists in teaching the younger students. I can't say enough about the positive impact this has had on my young daughter, and I would recommend it for anyone who has children."

"I visited many other martial arts schools to sign up my two daughters (6yo and 9yo). Many were very drill Sargent military oriented and some were just crazy expensive!! When I finally visited Rising Sun i was greeted by the owner (sensi Dean), he was very friendly, down to earth and extremely patent with my shy children. The atmosphere at this school is very family friendly, and their prices much more affordable than most. This is my kids 2nd year with Rising Sun, the both are much more confident (amazingly not shy anymore), and having so much fun. The things they have learned here, much to my surprise, are effective....especially on unsuspecting adults! I asked my youngest to show me something she learned, she asked me to grab her hand as if i were a stranger trying to take her away...she yelled YOU'RE NOT MY DAD, kicked and managed to pull her hand away escaping my grasp. AMAZING!! I recommend this school to everyone who has a child, boy or girl!!"
Anthony Haywood
"An excellent martial arts school especially for younger students. The sensei teaches not only martial arts but skills that encourage leadership, self reliance and self confidence both inside and outside of the dojo. As a parent I can attest to the significant positive impactcoming to this school has made on my son's life."
