Get your teenager ready for the challenges to come.
Lasting Confidence
Your child will gain confidence properly at Rise Martial Arts. That is, through practice, failure, & then success. When confidence is gained in this way, it’s durable. It often lasts for life. Overcoming challenges leads to the right kind of confidence.
Empowering Self-Defense
When teenagers learn practical and realistic mixed martial arts, they earn a special kind of confidence that sticks with them wherever they go: the certainty that they’re capable of protecting themselves. Self-defense for middle school, high school, college, & beyond. Help your teenager be safe & sound. That’s why our curriculum is a mixed martial arts that actually works for self-defense.
Mental Fortitude
The biggest concern of so many parents right now is the mental health of their child. There are certainly professional & medical paths to helping with this. But the type of mental toughness, grit, & strength you gain from the hardship & excitement at Rise Martial Arts is unparalleled for giving teenagers mental fortitude. There’s nothing like it.
An extremely age-specific teenager program.
Realistic Martial Arts
There’s nothing wrong with training in one type of martial art: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, Karate, Boxing, etc. But the greatest martial artists are, without dispute, mixed martial artists. Imagine your child knowing how to punch, but having no idea what to do when someone grabs them! Or the other way around! Students need the full package. Not a piece of the package. Rise Martial Arts teaches only the most realistic martial arts techniques.
Precise Class Stucture
This is not an exaggeration: at Rise, every single second of class is planned, structured, & consistent. Every single second. Your child will have a consistent experience, each class. Now, the content will vary, of course, to keep things fresh. But the structure is the same compelling & fun structure, every single class. Most schools “wing” classes. None of that takes place at Rise.
Precise Safety Standards
This isn’t some platitude. We have highly specific tactics for safety at Rise: zero head contact for children, rare & light head contact for teenagers, interactive safety briefings every class, average 6-1 student to teacher ratio, & highly precise mat pathing & running standards. That’s not to say we’re perfect, but we have more systemized safety tactics than perhaps 99% of martial arts schools. We take it with the utmost seriousness.
Clear expectations. Sensible procedures.
Lasting Friendships
Some of the greatest friendships your teenager will ever make can be at a martial arts school. There’s nothing like shared hardship, necessitated teamwork, & hilarious moments for creating friendships that can last for life.
Practical Mixed Martial Arts
There’s nothing wrong with training in one type of martial art: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, Karate, Boxing, etc. But the greatest martial artists are, without dispute, mixed martial artists. Imagine your child knowing how to punch, but having no idea what to do when someone grabs them! Or the other way around! Students need the full package. Not a piece of the package. Rise Martial Arts teaches only the most realistic martial arts techniques.
Girls Only Grapple With Other Girls
Males with males and females with females. Males & females are sometimes in the same groups, but never physically touch one another. We take this very, very seriously.
Athletic Foundation
Whether your teenager wants to improve from other sports, or lose weight, or to just be more physically fit and active for life, we’ve got you covered. At the right school, martial artists are the greatest athletes in the world. Endurance, agility, strength, coordination, performance under pressure. The Rise program covers it all.
Ditching The Screen
The obsession with screens at this age (and really at all ages) is bordering on insane. Life takes place in the real world. With real people. With face to face encounters. Your child will be off their device for at least an extra hour a day. And you may be surprised at how their martial arts training takes them off their devices throughout the day, as they’re inspired to train at home as well.
Bully-Proofing
Bullying, and the low self-esteem that it causes, can damage a child for life. Our teenagers become gradually familiar with the feeling of confrontation & self-defense. And this confidence translates to them finally sticking up for themselves in real life. And when this happens, the bullying finally stops.
Age-Appropriate Environment
Teenagers are very, very sensitive to anything that comes off as childish. Other schools try to run their teenager programs like little kids classes. This simply doesn’t work. It embarrasses the teens. Or even worse, they dump the teenagers in the same class as the 7 year old students. That can sometimes be disastrous. Rest assured that the Rise teenager program is designed specifically for teenagers, with teenager mature content, curriculum, & tempo. No cheesy formalities or childish gimmicks.
