The Only Real Filipino Martial Arts Studio in Jupiter: Discover the Power of Doce Pares at Rising Sun
When most people think of martial arts, their minds jump to karate, taekwondo, or jiu-jitsu. But there’s a lesser-known, incredibly powerful art that’s been quietly shaping warriors for centuries:
👉 Filipino Martial Arts (FMA).
At Rising Sun Martial Arts, we’re proud to be the only authentic Filipino Martial Arts program in Jupiter—offering instruction in the legendary Doce Pares system. If you’re looking for something real, practical, and deeply rooted in tradition, you’ve found it.
🥢 What Is Filipino Martial Arts?
Filipino Martial Arts—often known as Kali, Eskrima, or Arnis—is a dynamic and sophisticated combat system from the Philippines. It’s famous for its:
Stick fighting and blade training
Empty-hand self-defense
Footwork, flow, and fluid movement
Real-world applicability
Unlike many traditional martial arts that begin with empty-hand techniques, FMA starts with weapons first. Why? Because it teaches you how to defend yourself against the worst-case scenario—then work your way backward.
In short, it’s battle-tested.
It’s functional.
And it’s a total game-changer for anyone interested in practical self-defense.
🥋 Why Doce Pares?
At Rising Sun, we don’t dabble in FMA. We teach the Doce Pares system, a respected and well-documented style that originated in Cebu City in the 1930s.
Doce Pares (Spanish for “Twelve Pairs”) was founded by a group of the most prominent Filipino martial artists of the time, combining various family styles into one cohesive, powerful system. It emphasizes:
Single and double stick techniques
Knife defense
Empty-hand applications
Close-quarters combat and flow drills
Doce Pares is internationally recognized and has been taught to military units, law enforcement, and martial arts instructors around the world.
And here in Jupiter, we’re the only studio teaching it authentically.
🔥 Who Is FMA For?
Filipino Martial Arts is ideal for:
Adults looking for a fresh and exciting martial arts journey
Teens who want to stand out and gain real-world skills
Law enforcement or security personnel seeking weapon-based training
Martial arts enthusiasts ready to level up their understanding of movement, flow, and combat
No matter your experience level, FMA builds:
Coordination
Situational awareness
Fast reflexes
Confidence under pressure
And let’s be honest… swinging sticks around is fun.
