This Dojo is family friendly with no bad attitude . Entering my 4 year of membership and to date I am pleased with the teachings. Gojo Ryu Karate is a traditional Okinawan Karate form with a code of ethics We rank high in tournament competitions to include sparring-forms and weapons which says a lot for the instructions
The membership includes all ages .You are welcome to visit or join and get some exercise. If you are a Senior you won't be alone as my age is 70 and if I can do, it it is possible.

Individualized training, personal attention. Great structure and sense of belonging to a exclusive group of dedicated people yearning for self improvement and goal oriented achievements . My son started at age 7 and with dedication, commitment and fortitude. Became a very respected, high ranking black belt by age 16. Created in him a strong physical and mental state of fitness and character.

Brent Baker is a consummate professional who runs a top notch dojo. Within our son’s first few classes, he was completely hooked and loves attending classes. Brent understands the important balance of challenge and nurture as a means to get the best out of any student, and this philosophy permeates every aspect of Rising Sun Martial Arts.

The instructor takes time to help individuals who need help, while maintaining the flow of the class. Kyoshi Baker makes the classes fun and engaging for students of all ages!

I have been taking classes with this dojo for over 6 years, and it has always been a lot of fun. The atmosphere there is very friendly, and Kyoshi Baker is fun to work with. I love working at the dojo, and I would definitely recommend this dojo to anyone who wants to try karate.

I thoroughly enjoyed my training at RSMA. The dojo environment that Kyoshi Baker has created is one of showing respect, giving one's best effort, and receiving personalized instruction. Each student has the opportunity to grow as a respected martial artist. I am glad to call RSMA my dojo family.

Rising Sun's head instructor and owner, for the 6 years I trained there, gave to me the most respectful, diligent, and kind instruction I could have hoped for with a training environment that was safe, inspiring, and fun, allowing me to grow as high and strong as my heart could dream.

My son has been at Rising Sun for over a year, it has given him a ton more confidence, he’s become more respectful and he loves showing off his new moves at home and looks forward to class every week.
Mr. Baker has a superhuman amount of patience with him.
I strongly recommend Rising Sun.

Rising Sun’s program is a very positive environment to be in. It’s program is very structured and all of the students learn how to me respectful in the traditional Japanese environment. Although we are learning martial arts it are very safe and structured with a curriculum that tries to build character and self discipline. My nine years in this program has shaped my life in so many ways and I am so grateful for who it has helped me become.
