Bullying is a huge problem for teenagers. And its effects can last for life. Bully-proofing students is what we do best. Our teens learn only the most practical martial arts & tactics to stick up for themselves.

Become bully-proof.

Earn confidence for life.

The only way for teenagers to gain reliable confidence is for them to earn it. That doesn’t mean empty slogans or participation trophies. It means giving them reasonable challenges and encouraging them as they overcome those challenges.

Gain the gift of self-control.

A lack of self-control is the norm for kids now a days. It’s critical for teenagers to be able to function and even thrive in a group setting, and, to keep their emotions in check. Discipline is a skill. We craft that skill in teenagers with sensible positive and corrective consequences.

The RISE difference is real and extreme.

Classes structured down to the very second. We don’t “wing it” at Rise.

You won’t find a more fast-paced class structure for kids at any other activity or any other school! Our classes are structured, timed, & refined down to the very second. All classes are broken into carefully timed phases that are amazing at keeping children engaged and learning! When students have a consistent experience, they just LOVE to keep coming to class over and over. We mix up the content, but keep the STRUCTURE the same!

Consistent and scientific teaching tactics.

One of the greatest frustrations at kids activities of all kinds (dancing, karate, gymnastics, swimming, soccer, etc.) is a lack of quality and consistency with the instructors. Rest assured, you’ll be amazed at how precise each instructor teaches. The vast majority of students have little to no difference in satisfaction from one instructor the next. Why? Because our instructors aren’t just random volunteers or people we just hired and threw on the mat! All of our instructors are paid and trained to teach with the same language, use the same enforcement & motivational tactics, demonstrate in the same way, and on and on!

A mixed martial arts curriculum that actually works for self-defense: Muay Thai, Korean Karate, & some basic Jiu-Jitsu.

The greatest martial artists, without dispute, are mixed martial artists. There’s certainly some benefit in learning just one style in isolation. However, anytime a school conforms to one style of martial art, that necessarily means that your child will be missing a big piece of the puzzle that is self-defense. To be able to protect oneself, reliably, martial artists must at least have proficiency in all parts of martial arts: striking (punches, kicks, knees, elbows) and grappling (jiu-jitsu, takedowns, & takedown defense).

A program that your teenager will actually enjoy!

YOU CAN’T TEACH STUDENTS THAT DECIDE TO QUIT! We realized that early on. And so we made our classes EXTREMELY exciting, fun, and yet still valuable and structured. With the teenager age group, we know full well that the program not coming off as cheesy, easy, or lame is CRITICAL. We don’t baby the teenagers. We hold them to high, but reasonable standards. And we push them to better themselves every class.

Over 1,000 students developed.

Rise continues to be the top rated school in the area.
