My 3 yr old son has been attending karate class here since the beginning of the summer and he absolutely loves it. He tells everyone about it and loves to practice on people. Lol. I definitely recommend RISE especially after witnessing how good they are with younger children. Looking forward to watching my son grow in his skill here with RISE!
Posted 10 months agoMy son just started taking karate classes at Rise Martial Arts School, and we are already so impressed! The instructors are incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and great with kids. They create a positive and structured environment where the students feel motivated and confident. My son looks forward to every class and is already showing more focus and discipline at home. I’m excited to watch his progress and so thankful we found this amazing program. Highly recommend to any parent looking for a quality martial arts school!
Posted 1 year agoWe are so happy at Rise and my kids, 11 and 9, are so excited to go to class every week. The staff is super friendly and helps answer any questions you have, and each sensei has been so great with the kids and make learning super fun and knowledgable.
BEAUTIFUL AMAZING Family owned martial arts classes. I love this place for my 3 year old. The family and staff are all patient, fun and knowledge. They are amazing with the Littles and children of all ages. ABBY is the best teacher and a true asset to the family business. They are now offering adult classes that I plan on joining as well. We always look forward to coming to class!
Our 4 year old is having a wonderful time at Rise! The instructors are extremely patient and kind, the classes are well-structured, and the activities are perfect for her age group. She is excited to come back each week!
I signed my son up for this martial art program at RISE and we are overjoyed with how welcoming everyone has been. The owners very friendly and coaches are all well trained, attentive to the participants and very professional. Our family is satisfied with the program and we highly recommend them!
My tween has had such a positive experience at Rise over the past few months! The instructors are knowledgeable, the program is very structured, and the facility is clean. I highly recommend Rise for kids at every level of their martial arts journey.
My kids are loving it & the staff is amazing!
My daughter started at Rise immediately following her third birthday. She needed more opportunities to follow instructions from people other than her mother and opportunities to work on her physical therapy goals. After just a few months she is truly so much stronger. This has by far been the best activity my toddler has participated in sports-wise. Every teacher is competent, professional, and patient.
My girls absolutely love taking classes here! If they could take classes all day everyday they would 🤣 Excellent place to learn self defense and great exercise! All staff are amazing!
Our daughter has been going to Rise for about three months now. The coaches and staff are friendly and welcoming. I love that they don't baby the kids.
Great class with amazing teachers! My son loves his classes and looks forward to being there every week!
Rise martial arts is amazing!! We have tried out atmeast 3 in the area and this one my girls really stuck to! They look forward to going every time. The kids are leveling up with proper skill and not just to make them happy. They are told to use the skill they have been learning while grappling with carefully supervision. The teachers are so well skilled, love the kids and have alot of patients for them. They have an open are there you can watch the kiddos while you chit chat with a parent and a small kids playing area for kiddos who arnt participating. The registration is easy, very friendly staff!
My son really enjoys Rise. The instructors really do a great job teaching techniques and character. David is awesome. My son is stronger and more confident thanks to Rise martial arts. 💪😊
My sons have been going for a year and they love it. Excellent way to boost confidence in children. Each instructor is friendly but also disciplined and serious. The best thing about Josh and his staff is how accommodating they are for busy schedules. We’ve had to change our training days a few times over the year, and they work with me each time. We will train here for years to come!
Rise Martial Arts is Awesome!! From day one the teachers made me and my son feel comfortable honestly we felt like family. The interactions with the kid are gentle but stern which was exactly what my son needed to prepare him for interaction with other kids. I have to step away from the program due to my work schedule but I’ll be returning. Thank you Rise family for taking us in and giving my son a few dynamics to help him along the way.
Our son has been in the program for a year and it has been terrific. He is learning focus and discipline that were much needed. The program is dynamic and continues to evolve and improve. Our son loves attending class. All the instructors work so well with the kids. We are so happy we found Rise!
So far I haven't found anything that helps my 6 year old practice focusing his attention and listening to instruction than Rise Martial Arts. The instructors here are fantastic!
My two children absolutely love Rise Martial Arts! From the moment they stepped into the dojo, they were welcomed with open arms by the friendly instructors and supportive fellow students. Not only are they having a blast, but they're also learning so much more than just martial arts techniques. The structured classes not only teach self-defense skills but also instill discipline, focus, and respect. I've noticed a significant improvement in their confidence levels since they started attending classes here. Overall, We are having a great experience!
I've really enjoyed seeing my son (5) grow in confidence, skill, and strength. He's enjoyed this experience and comes out of every class with a smile. I haven't seen a single example of negative reinforcement, yelling, etc. Some things I've been impressed with RISE: Accountability: the kids are taught to not make excuses and that they shouldn't be scared to own up to mistakes. Emotional Discipline: i saw a student get angry over "losing" a challenge, so he punched the floor and yelled. The instructor immediately had a 1 on 1 and explained "thats not how we handle things when we are angry". I think a few pushups were involved as well 🤣. In a society that seems to lack emotional awareness, this is more important than ever. Communication: for kids, sometimes working with people older than them is intimidating; the instructors communicate great with the kids, and the kids seem to be comfortable and communicate back well.
My son and daughter absolutely love martial arts here. The structure has immensely helped my children grow both mentally and physically. The instructors have this amazing way of being stern but fun at the same time. I love how family oriented RISE is. Other children can play while their siblings are in training. Additionally, RISE is ASD friendly and so understanding of all situations.
Originally we were looking for a tae kwon do gym. We visited a nearby facility and were not happy with having the 12 year olds mixed in with adults so we left that place and googled martial arts and came across Rise. We stopped in just to observe and were thoroughly impressed. First off they have classes with different age ranges geared toward kids under 20. This was a game changer. Our son is in classes with kids age 12-17. He feels comfortable being around other teenagers. This studio teaches mixed martial arts which we love because the students learn moves that they can use to defend themselves out in the real world if needed. This actually really resonated with us since our son was interested in martial arts because he has been a victim of bullying for many years. We feel so blessed to stumble upon this facility in our search. Our son is learning confidence, respect, and great skills that he can use to protect himself. The students earn belts just like in other martial arts. We plan to stay here until he learns all he can and that would be a black belt. He is just a white belt, but with time and patience he will reach the top and face the world with confidence and be able to protect himself.
My daughter wanted to try martial arts here and we have been so impressed! They welcomed her and have made her feel so comfortable and confident. Would highly recommend!
Daughter loves it here! Rise has been a great experience for her. All the instructors are wonderful. Definitely recommend Rise Martial Arts!
Since my son started here, he has done a complete 360 with his behavior in school.. Nice,clean and friendly staff!!
Our son just started with the classes here and he is really liking the place, the instructors/coaches and the routines. We initially took a trial class which itself was so good that it made our son literally push us to get signed up for regular classes. We are so glad that such a great learning facility exists in Canton.
Our daughter loves her martial arts classes here. The instructors are stern enough to maintain control of their groups but also patient and funny with the kids. Our daughter has improved greatly in her martial arts as well as developing her skills in self-regulation and discipline.
We can’t say enough great things about Rise and the instructors! My son dials in every time he goes and really loves his instructors! They encourage, motivate and, something I especially love, they show the kids the discipline they need to succeed on and off the mat.
My son is really enjoying learning martial arts here. The teacher are kinds yet structured. They have it mapped out so that they utilize every minute of the class. It's a very clean area as well with a play area for siblings as well.
The instructors at Rise Martial Arts are so professional and knowledgeable. My son looks forward to his classes each week. This is such a great experience for him.
Our boys (5 & 6 yr old) absolutely love this class! The smaller more concentrated classes make a world of difference. Instructors are wonderful, I would highly recommend!!!!
I wasn't sure if my 4 year old would be able to stay focused during class, but the instructor's do a terrific job keeping the kids attention. It helps that everything is structured and in small groups of 4 or 5 kids. The best thing of all is that he enjoys it. Keep up the good work.
The instructors are Great. Classes are fun and use partner work for team building and becoming more social. Instructors teach in a motivational way. I would recommend Rise martial arts training center to any parent wanting their children to develop self defense, discipline and social skills.
We absolutely love Rise! The instructors are very attentive and supportive in pushing the kids to do their best and never give up. Challenging them mentally, physically, and emotionally. My girls are excited to attend every class and I can't wait to see their grow as we continue to train.
My son’s been attending Rise Martial arts since last month , and I can confidently say it’s been a transformative experience. The instructors here are not only highly skilled but also incredibly dedicated to teaching and guiding their students. From day one, we felt welcomed and supported. The class structure is well-organized, with a perfect balance of warm-up exercises, technique drills, and sparring practice. Each session is tailored to suit both beginners and advanced students, ensuring that everyone gets the attention they need to improve.
Our daughter (5yo) has been coming for about a year and loves it! You can tell the instructors care about the students and want them to get a good lesson every time.
Our 10 yo son loves it here. Previously he was in TKD a few years ago and left due to intimidation. At Rise, everyone feels safe and included. So glad we found this place. Would highly recommend Rise for anyone! Facility is clean, well maintained, and instructors are excellent!!
We love Rise Martisl arts . The coaches are really trained and good people. The head of this School is very nice. They really teach very hood techniques and are very patient with the all kind of kids . My son love going to this school .
Our son has been attending for several months and loves it! The instructors do a great job with teaching the students not only strong technique, but also about the intent of martial arts. Group sizes are kept small so everyone gets a maximized session with plenty of attention.
My daughter has been attending Rise Martial Arts for the past 6 months or so. She absolutely loves it. Made a new friend there too! I love everything that she’s learning there.
Our daughter has been taking lessons at Rise Martial Arts for the past three years. She looks forward to every lesson and has learned so much. We are also so thankful for the staff. They really seem to care about their students. So glad we found this place!
We love Rise! My son is not naturally athletic and a little passive when it comes to the idea of fighting or even practicing fighting. This has done him a world of good physically and it has really helped his confidence. He loves going.
My kids have been training at RISE for almost 7 months. They absolutely love it. They are much more confident as well. I would like to thank RISE's staff for their professionalism, patience and wonderful work. I highly recommend this place for your children.
Our son and daughter have been with Rise since the very beginning. It's a great environment for teaching kids not only martial arts but life lessons and discipline. Supportive teachers who make sure kids master their skills as they grow. Have recommended this place to many!
My 6 year old son loves this place. I feel he will be better prepared in his life to defend himself against bullies. Since bullying poses such a problem in this day and age for kids, I’m very grateful he is learning the skills and gaining the confidence needed to defend himself (if the occasion ever called for it)
We love Rise, the instructors truly care about the kids and make them feel welcome. They hold the children to high standards which I appreciate - I feel discipline is an important thing for children to learn. We've started our son here since he was 3 in their little ninjas class. Now he's 5 and has progressed to the next level and our 3 year old daughter has started now. They teach a nice combination of strength, agility, techniques, games, competition and team work. The facility is incredibly clean, and I enjoy the music they play during class! Our children genuinely look forward to coming every week!
My son fell in love with training from day 1, and all the staff there has been welcoming and supportive. I appreciate how my son is learning character, discipline, strength, alongside his new skills. He is genuinely excited to go every day he has class, and we look forward to many years of working hard and progressing!
Incredibly easy process. From inquiring about the intro, to weekly class attendance. This group is modern, disciplined and knowledgeable. A huge asset to my child’s growth and development. Highly recommended experience for your family
My kids have been going to Rise Martial Arts in Canton, MI for over 3 years. It was one of the best decision for our kids. Among the various activities available for kids, martial arts should be a priority. The kids learn self defense, build confidence. Very important life skills that kids develop from this academy. I would highly reccomend Rise Martial Arts to all in the Plymouth/Canton area. You will love the results over time
Rise martial arts has been a great experience for my kids and I am always recommending it to friends and family. Instructors share a good relationship with students and always greet them with a smile. Mr. Fletcher( the owner) is strict but also kind and captivates the students with his fun and energetic teaching style. We are especially fond of Ms. Chelsea as she goes above and beyond to make sure kids feel welcomed and comfortable. Mr Brandon thank you for being so patient with Musa, you are his first favorite teacher!!!
My son has been at Rise over 2 years. He loves going there each week and thinks so highly of all the instructors. (My husband and I feel the same… such wonderful teachers there!!) We love seeing him gain new skills, confidence and discipline. And have fun too. It truly is an awesome place and we can’t say enough great things about it. Very happy we joined Rise and we’re super appreciative of all the hard work they put into the kids there!
I tried a few places before finding this gem that is conveniently in my neighborhood. In my infinite wisdom I was reluctant to believe that we were so fortunate enough to have such an amazing facility nearby. What piqued my interest were the extraordinarily consistent 5 star reviews. The pessimist in me assumed that most of them must be friends and family taking care of the owner. I was able to overcome my pessimism when I was told the first session was a free no obligation deal and I was sure that it would be the last for my hyperactive, extremely undersized, but very well meaning son. Here I am almost four months later writing this long overdue and effusive review. The owner of this facility sets the tone for his awesome staff. Their program is very structured and takes into account kids short attention span by incorporating many different aspects of physical and mental fitness, character building, martial arts techniques and drills into several timed segments. They motivate the kids and also instill structure and discipline. The kids don’t clown around too much but still have an amazing time and are engaged throughout the lessons. My only regret was not signing up any sooner. Mr. Fletcher and his team bring such an intimate and family feel in spite of the size of the program. They actually know the names of all the kids as if they are their own and take time to provide personalized instruction as needed to everyone. Get on their waiting list because I promise you it’ll be well worth it for your child.
2/3 of my girls started off with little interest in Karate and now they all love it. It’s very well organized and they were able to adjust our schedule overtime as we were patient with their long waitlist ( now I know why). Instructors know everyone by name and my 8 year old ( on the shy side) struggled with one of the moves and they picked up on it right away. It’s a great fit for all ages , mine are 5,8 and 11. I’ve watch them grow in confidence and discipline. Of note they picked up on each of their personalities quickly which I was impressed with.
We absolutely love this place. The instructors are very good. They offer affordable martial arts. My son has learned a lot and we haven’t even been there a year yet. They do a great job here. I definitely recommend RISE MARTIAL ARTS to everyone as we plan to be here for years to come.
My two daughters started around 6 months ago, they absolutely both love this place so much! They not only became stronger but they also learned alot, the training they get helped increased their self confidence which what I wanted for both. The instructors are professionals and the organizer continuously help create the perfect environment by keeping the place clean, bright with lights, adding nice music in the background! Thank you Rise:-)
Our kids LOVE Rise Martial Arts! A well rounded experience from technique, strength, knowledge and discipline. It has helped with coordination and focus for all of our kids. I’m so happy and honored to have our kids in the program. All of the instructors are amazing and make our kids always feel at home.
My daughter loves Rise! She has a lot of fun while learning important life concepts and how to defend herself. We love how disciplined and stronger she is getting. The coaches do an awesome job with the kids.
This place has been such a blessing to my family. As a father, its important that you raise your son to become Leaders of intergrity, stewardship and discipline. Its even harder as a father doing that in a world of so much confusion, when you send them off to different programs they don't walk in the same standards. Rise Martial Arts have taking my 3 boys, installing them with all three principles, along with having fun, gaining confidence and enjoying session to train! They say it takes a village to raise a kid, well I'm blessed to have me and my family connected with Rise Martial Arts!
Wonderful instruction and motivation for students to learn not only technique but discipline. My child is a better person all around as a result of attending classes at Rise. Highly recommend!
Rise is the Martial Arts company we’ve been searching for a long time. From how professional the staff is to how clean the facility is. Every detail is top notch and we couldn’t feel more grateful that our boys are a part of Rise. The coaches are very invested the their success and have already seen growth in the short time we’ve been there. We look forward to years to come with them.
Rise is head and shoulders above any martial arts school we have looked at or tried for our kids. - No hidden fees, we pay a consistent monthly fee with no extra charges for uniform, belt testing, etc - Instructors work great with the kids, in small ratios of about 5:1 - Lessons are more practical for the real world, instilling awareness about bullying, self-defense, etc - Scheduling is great for working parents - Never boring, 45 mins of intense training that keeps the kids engaged - The kids LOVE it - Small but meaningful note: the staff did a great job of learning every child's name, and made a clear effort to learn how to pronounce ethnic names properly.
Rise has been an amazing experience for my kids. They have gained confidence, strength and so much knowledge. Rise teachers really care about the kids and take the time to teach them the proper way to practice martial arts. My kids have also learned the importance of focusing and respecting others.
We love Rise! Our daughter has gained a lot of confidence and self awareness since joining this past July. She is always excited to go and never wants to leave. The instructors are focused, organized, and clearly love what they're doing and it shows in every aspect of the company. You will not regret joining, but you might regret not joining!
To see how my daughter has flourished both in martial arts and in school as a result of attending RISE has been an amazing sight. I am forever grateful for the school and their instructors. The structure and discipline the kids learn here is alone worth the cost. Highly recommend for both boys and girls of all ages.
Most importantly, our daughter loves going to class and has learned discipline and self control above all things. This martial arts school doesn’t simply teach martial arts. They teach the kids the history of the practice and stress the real life implications the practice can have on our children as they grow into adults. Me Fletcher has a way with the kids - one that says I’m tough because I care. Our daughter can’t wait for class days and looks forward to classes with Miss Chelsea and Mr Alex. The entire team is top of the line professional and I can’t wait to get my own Rise sweatshirt to promote the school. Well done. We love coming back!
When my son turned two and showed interest in martial arts I was very excited, because I know that allowing him to participate in martial arts is a great way for him to explore and develop lifelong skills. Also, if I enroll him in a class I will get to enjoy watching him because I do miss training and being on the mat. So, when he turned four we went to Rise Martial Arts and did a trial class. He had a blast! My son has been doing classes for 6 months now and he absolutely love and enjoy going. He comes out of each class with huge smile on his face, and tells me every time we leave that he had fun at “martial arks”. Rise Martial Arts has exceeded my expectations in every way. Master Joshua Fletcher, Trevor, and Chelsea are the best! They care for every student who enters and have created a family friendly training facility. I, hands down, recommend Rise Martial Arts to anyone!
My daughter began her initial instruction in martial arts at Canton Rise. I have been amazed at how quickly she has grown in both strength and self defense skills. Josh, the owner, provides a wonderful balance of discipline and heart. He holds his students to a high standard while at the same time providing feedback and praise. My daughter has gained strength and confidence this past year at Canton Rise. As a side note, I was concerned that she would be a first timer at the age of 12, but though there were others that had been there for a long time, she was able to join in seamlessly with others in her age group. Josh implements a wonderful teaching model, where he teaches classes based on age groups, but divides students in groups based on skill level, and then has them rotate through various stations/instructors during their lesson.
We just started in late October and my son loves going and asks every single day if he has class. Josh, Chelsea, and Trevor have been wonderful with him, and he is a 10/10 for energy and can be a handful at times but they have been fantastic working with him. He was 3 when he started, now he is 4, and he has learned so much already and is not only gaining martial arts skills but learning life skills too like how to pay attention better, how to learn how to lose, you can't always do what you want, and you have to try to get better at things, just to name a few. It is great that they take this extra step/interest in the kids that not everywhere would.
Rise has met and exceeded my expectations for a martial arts course for my young son. Instructors are very attentive while continuing to push the students to achieve realistic goals. They teach good life lessons in a fun manner and for a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend this studio and Josh to anyone who is searching for a martial arts program.
RISE has exceeded my expectations. My son started a year ago and has been thriving and thoroughly enjoying it. Each staff member shows such compassion for the school and its students. Master Fletcher sets clear expectations for his students while being strict, yet kind. I love that he incorporates a lesson (word of the day) into each class. This is a safe and clean environment.
My husband and I are over the moon impressed with the quality instruction our son is receiving at Rise Martial Arts. The instructors are trained professionals who are committed to mentoring, coaching, and directing children into becoming controlled and well disciplined leaders. The pricing is affordable and the children have fun while learning and meeting new friends. Some of the principals that are taught in class are centered around focus, listening, respect, and controlling your emotions which are huge areas that all parents are happy to have reinforcement in. If you are looking for a place that will assist you with helping your child develop confidence, self esteem, responsibility, and character then RISE MARTIAL ARTS is the place to be. Additionally, if you are looking to increase your child's physical fitness and daily (non-screen time activities) they will certainly receive a great workout and that will help them burn off some energy. Sign up TODAY as spots are limited and classes fill quickly! You will not be disappointed as this is an investment that will deliver you a fantastic return.
I can’t say enough good things about Rise. Our goal was to get our 3yr old son some active play with friends and to really help build his confidence. On the first day, our son was really shy and only participated in a few things. Fast forward to his 3rd week where he is playing chase in the free time before class, yelling “Yes sir!” with the biggest smile on his face and interacting with others in the class. We plan to continue to go to classes and have him learning from Josh and team. Can not recommend this place enough.
Absolutely fantastic and wonderful staff! The kids have amazing amounts of fun every class while also learning quality life lessons and awesome martial arts moves! Master Fletcher is truly a great teacher whom the kids admire, respect, and look up to. I HIGHLY recommend Rise for any person or parent looking to get their child into the martial arts program!
We just joined Rise one month ago. We are thrilled with the atmosphere there and the positivity that is enforced. Along with the instructors’ discipline of paying attention and focusing, there is a vibe of fun that the kids really enjoy and get into. Josh and team do a great job of helping the kids and interact with them well. They believe in our kids . 😀Love to see the confidence our youth is building because of Rise. Definitely recommend.
I still remember the first “try-out” day, my wife had to call me while I was at work to make sure the kids (7 & 5 yea old) listened and go check out the class at Rise Martial Art. Never did I expect that an hour later she excitedly called me to let me know that the kids were super stoked about the class! They couldn’t wait to attend their first real lesson! From that day on, I knew that I’ve found a beneficial biweekly activity for my kids that they will never get bored of. I took a half-day off to take my kids to their first lesson and totally agree with my wife’s opinion about this place - it is clean, spacious, professional staffs, and all parents & students there are friendly. It almost feels like this is a “hangout” place for both parents and students too! The best thing about Rise Martial Arts is that it is NOT only a place for my kids to learn Taekwondo, but also a school to develop their self-confidence and discipline. And the good thing is that all of the above dosage are given through fun, enjoyable activities throughout the class. Thanks to the creativity of the staffs at this Taekwondo school! My kids have always had the same level of excitement coming to class every time - just as the first day. Give Rise Martial Art a try if you’re considering sending your child to a martial art school. Whether it’s for self-defense, confidence building, or even finding a place for your child to release their energy, you will not be disappointed at Rise Martial Art.
We love Rise, all the employees are great. Master Fletcher is a great instructor, always has a life lesson to share with the kids & he smiles even when he yells. Whether you have an athletic kid or not, they will have a great time learning valuable self-defense techniques at this school. As a parent it makes me feel more at ease knowing my child can protect himself if he needs to and in today’s world at some point they will need to.
My 6 year old loves going to Rise every week. Master Fletcher and the rest of the teachers are excellent with the kids and teach them martial arts along with a lesson each session. He looks forward to learning and actually practices so he can earn stripes and belt levels. Highly recommended.
I absolutely love Rise. Both my boys have been enrolled for the past year and even thou they have a difference in age they both enjoy and made so much progress. I love how Josh is not only teaching them self defense, getting them stronger, but also how to cope with life and hard situations. There are enough instructors to make for smaller groups that are devised by skills so every child gets a change to be engaged and be able to learn better. I also love the cleanliness of the space and how wonderful everyone is. Feels like family.
Rise has been a great fit for my 5-year-old son. The instructors do a great job connecting with the students and teaching focus and discipline. The facility is clean and classes are run in an organized manner. We have been happy with our experience there!
Love this place! Master Fletcher treats all the kids equally, giving each his time and talent. The class is very well organized and each instructor is kind and engaging. Looking forward to this summer with our RISE family.
Absolutely love Rise Martial Arts! The teachers are amazing, Ms. Chelsea, Mr. Trevor and Master Fletcher really care about the kids, and it shows, they are amazing and my son looks forward to going every week. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try out martial arts, you won’t be disappointed!!
We’ve been so happy with our granddaughters (now 6yo) experience at Rise. She began her journey when the school opened. Master Fletcher (and the whole team!) are wonderful with the kids. Classes are fun and educational. Our granddaughter has come so far and has learned an incredible amount. We love watching her participate!
My son was lacking confidence in himself, so my wife and I decided to sign him up for karate after a friend recommended Rise. It immediately had a impact on him. He was coming home asking to practice his moves, and wanted to show us what he was capable of. He has been attending Rise for a while now, and it continues to help his confidence. The staff are stellar, and really know how to work with the kids. Couldn't recommend this place enough.
RISE is absolutely amazing! 🎉 The staff is wonderful in working with the children so they can feel confident in getting the discipline and courage they need! My son cannot wait to go to his class twice a week and he has learned SO much!! Thank you RISE for believing in my son and also for all the other children that you guys impact daily!! Best decision ever made was bringing my son here!! ❤️ Five stars 💯❤️
I stumbled across Rise while I was trying to find a Martial Arts class for my then 7 year old nephew. I figured that Martial Arts would be a great fit for him due to his very hyper nature. I reached out to Rise for additional information and to my surprise, I received a message back right away inviting us to a free trial class. Needless to say we were instantly hooked. The staff is amazing, the environment is super welcoming. 6 months later we are still there. Money well spent.
We’ve been sending our three-year son to Rise and he has grown so much! He is stronger but even better, he is more confident in himself! We love the staff, they are wonderful with the kids and help them see their full potential as toddlers while not babying them. We can’t recommend this place enough!
We’ve been so happy with our daughter’s (5yo) experience at Rise. Master Fletcher (and the whole team!) is wonderful with the kids, and you can tell they really respect him. Classes are fun and educational. Our daughter has come so far and has learned an incredible amount - she is stronger and more confident. We love watching her participate!
Our daughter has been at Rise since the beginning, and now she absolutely LOVES taekwondo! The classes have helped her in many areas: discipline, confidence, and athletic ability (just to name a few.) She has made some really good friends too!
Our oldest daughter (11) was lacking confidence. We joined Rise Up the day that they opened. We honestly could not be happier with the staff. They teach much more than just martial arts. Its a way of life and great for self improvement and confidence. Each day they have a positive topic and explain it so well that it makes a huge impact on how they act and make decisions. I noticed such a huge difference in my oldest daughter that we got my youngest daughter involved. Age (5). I can not say enough about this school. I was able to get my brother involved with my nieces and nephews and we have both have noticed such a huge difference in our children. I would recommend this school to anyone that wants the best for their children. A+ for sure.
Instructors are great, very patient but also strict. Clean, welcoming dojo. I have no belt, but have taken different martial arts throughout my life. The instruction is great. My reason in signing my daughter up, was to help her to never to become a victim. I believe Rise is helping her to that end.
Rise Martial Arts has been amazing for our 8 year old daughter. Although we are new to the family, in just a few weeks she’s come a long way! They are great at really giving the right amount of attention and instruction to each child. I’m anxious to see her continue to grow and gain more confidence, stamina, and focus!
Rise Martial Arts is outstanding. Master Fletcher, Trevor and Chelsea are absolutely awesome with the kids. Choosing the right martial art can be overwhelming, but Master Fletcher made the decision easy with his engaging and outgoing personality. When we called in with questions, he personally came out on his own time to show us around and made us feel welcomed. He and his staff truly engage every student and push them to thrive at their own level and build their confidence.
The growth we see in our children goes beyond the physical fitness, coordination, and discipline that I was expecting to see them develop at Rise Martial Arts. What I believe to be the differentiator for this school is the family of instructors who run it - Master Fletcher, Trevor, Chelsea. They’ve found a way to build an environment that exposes our children to developing self-respect, goal setting/achieving, commitment and consequences. This environment, while challenging, is open and friendly, which gives my kids courage to explore who they can be and express themselves as individuals. It’s hard to find an activity that truly augments the values we are trying to instill in our children. I’m confident we have found it here.
We’ve been at Rise for a few months now and my girls love it! The kids learn physical and mental skills as well as life lessons. They also have fun! Master Fletcher, Trevor and Chelsea make you feel like one of the family. Definitely glad we signed up.
My 3.5 year old son has been taking classes here for 3 months and the personal, physical, and social growth I’ve seen in him has been astonishing. I am so thankful to have found Rise Martial Arts and I look forward to everything he will continue to learn over the years! Plus, Josh, Trevor and Chelsea are SO great with all the kids in class.
I have been trying to get my daughter involved in SOMETHING after school. I offered gymnastics, soccer, t-ball, girl scouts, and music/instrument lessons. It was always "No, mommy, I don't want to do that." I told her we were going to try a class at Rise, and she was immediately excited about it. She told EVERYONE. There was never any pressure to enroll her, but she smiled the entire class and she was so excited that we had to get her in. Master Fletcher, Mr. Trevor, and Ms. Chelsea are amazing with the kids. They are teaching them discipline and important life lessons that they will carry with them through life. I am so glad we found Rise!
RISE Martial Arts is a very good place to learn how to defend yourself. My daughter attends the school a few days out the week. This will help her build her confidence, learn balance, and give her the knowledge to defend herself. The instructor is very good with kids as are his assistants. I am very glad we checked out this martial arts studio as RISE teaches exactly what we should teach our kids. Rise up above challenges and expectations with discipline and respect. Rise Up!!!
The staff is beyond exceptional! Master Fletcher, Chelsea and the entire Rise team make you feel like part of the Rise family the moment you walk in the door. My 5yo son has been involved in numerous sports, including a few taekwondo studios and never showed as much excitement and dedication to anything, as he does his classes here. He has grown so much physically and mentally, with classes focusing on strength, respect and overall self-confidence. It is truly amazing watching the accomplishments he and his classmates make weekly. Rise Martial Arts has been an amazing experience for our entire family and I am beyond thankful our son is able to be part of such a strong, supportive community!
This is an amazing place for children to learn and grow as martial artists. With a master that is full of patience, kindness, and discipline, learning to rise up and achieve their potential is inevitable. I signed my daughter up early for the 5 year old class because I wanted her to get some exercise and learn self defense. She nor I was really sure of what to to expect as neither of us have ever taken a tae kwon do class before. But on the opening day we went and she had so much fun! Master Fletcher made her feel very welcome and was also very good at helping all the kids feel strong and capable of doing the forms he taught them. He was a very empowering and motivational leader. She was not only empowered and motivated to think she could do the forms well, she was having so much fun and was making good friends in the process! She came home from the opening day and asked when we could go back because she enjoyed it so much. You will not be disappointed if you take your children here!
We have had a great experience here! I have 4 children enrolled of all ages and they all love it. Master Fletcher is careful to explain everything to them. He also empowers them to believe in themselves and teaches them very important life lessons along with the tkd. My kids look forward to their classes all week. I’m so glad we found this place.
Good programs and instructors. The major issue is the extremely loud club music that is always playing in the background. Martial arts is about focus and composure as much as it is about physical strength. The music is toxic to the environment and kids would come home with headaches. Tried to speak to the instructors a few times but they insisted to keep the extremely loud music blasted. If you don't mind the music then I would encourage you to join.
