From the reviews

Our daughter started at RISE and loved it. We tried all sorts of stick and ball sports, and much to my dismay she doesn’t like any of those. So we were just looking for something for her to move her body and stay active. She did gymnastics, but that got sooo expensive so fast.

★★★★★ — Mike, Nov 2025

We have our boys signed up with Rise Martial Arts. The trial class is a great experience. When we arrived the staff was friendly in assisting set the kids up with proper uniform attire. Once the kids were set up they went and did their respective class, Little Ninjas (5-7) and Tiny Ninjas (3-4).

★★★★★ — Victoria, Dec 2025

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.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Aug 2023

My 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.

Your first BJJ class at Rise Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
