3 Secrets of Confident Kids (That We Teach Every Day at Rising Sun Martial Arts in Jupiter)
If you’re a parent in Jupiter, Palm Beach Gardens, or Abacoa, you’ve likely asked yourself:
“How do I help my child become more confident?”
Confidence doesn’t come from being the loudest in the room. It’s not about being perfect, either. The truth is—confident kids are built, not born.
At Rising Sun Martial Arts, we’ve been helping children grow into strong, respectful, and self-assured young leaders for over a decade. Under the guidance of veteran instructor Neil Buzick, our students learn more than martial arts—they learn how to carry themselves with courage, focus, and resilience.
Here are 3 powerful habits we build into every class:
1. Confident Kids Know How to Face Discomfort
Let’s face it: life is full of challenges. Confident kids aren’t the ones who never get nervous—they’re the ones who learn how to keep going anyway.
At Rising Sun, we teach kids, teens and adults how to break through physical and emotional barriers. Whether it’s trying a new form, speaking up during class, or bouncing back after a tough day—kids, as well as adults, learn how to stay calm under pressure here.
Through Filipino Martial Arts (Kali/Eskrima), which emphasizes movement, timing, and focus, students practice staying sharp even when things don’t go perfectly. It’s not about being fearless—it’s about being brave enough to try again.
2. Confident Kids Are Surrounded by Role Models
Kids build belief in themselves when they see people who believe in them.
That’s why Rising Sun instructors go beyond teaching techniques. We lead by example. Many of us were once shy students too—and now we get to show others what’s possible with patience, consistency, and support.
Whether your child is 5 or 15, they’ll be surrounded by peers and mentors who encourage them, challenge them, and celebrate their progress every step of the way.
We don’t raise our voices. We raise standards.
3. Confident Kids Know Who They Are
Confidence starts with identity.
At Rising Sun, we help kids see themselves differently. Not as “the quiet one,” “the silly one,” or “the kid who gets in trouble”—but as someone capable, respectful, and strong.
They learn how to:
Stand tall
Look people in the eye
Speak clearly and kindly
Respect others without letting themselves be pushed around
Keep showing up—even when it’s hard
In a world full of noise, martial arts gives kids clarity—a foundation to build on for life.

Confidence Isn’t Magic. It’s a Skill. And It Starts Here.
Your child doesn’t need to be the best to begin. They just need a place where they can grow—step by step, with the right people around them.
At Rising Sun Martial Arts in Downtown Abacoa, we’ve built a community where kids and teens feel safe, challenged, and supported—and where confidence is just the beginning.
