What Is Filipino Martial Arts (Kali)—And Why Are More Jupiter Families Choosing It?
For families in Jupiter, Abacoa, and nearby Palm Beach Gardens, finding a kids martial arts program or teen martial arts program that builds kids’ confidence while also teaching discipline and self-control isn’t always easy. That’s why so many parents are turning to Rising Sun Martial Arts, where students don’t just learn self-defense—they grow into strong, focused, and respectful leaders.
Led by Neil Buzick, a military veteran with deep roots in counterintelligence and leadership, Rising Sun Martial Arts has earned its reputation as the go-to place for kids, teens, and adults to train in the powerful and practical art of Filipino Martial Arts, also known as Kali or Eskrima—a style made famous in action movies and tactical training circles alike.
A Program That Goes Beyond the Mat
Here’s what one local parent had to say in a 5-star Google review:
“I’ve had the opportunity to get to know the owner, Mr. Buzick. He is incredibly dedicated to the students’ improvement and growth. He runs a positive and uplifting program full of great martial arts and life skills. He is always improving his and his instructors’ skills and teaching style. I can highly recommend Rising Sun academy for your child’s martial arts training.”
That kind of trust doesn’t happen by accident.
At Rising Sun, every class is built around developing focus, fitness, and confidence. Kids are taught to respect their instructors and peers, practice self-discipline, and most importantly—believe in themselves.
Martial Arts with Real-World Purpose
What makes Rising Sun truly stand out is the depth of experience behind the training. After serving as a counterterrorism agent in Iraq and Kuwait, Neil Buzick returned home with a mission: to help families in Jupiter develop resilient, confident kids who know how to lead with courage.
His military background gives the program a rare level of structure, intentionality, and authenticity. The Kali-based curriculum includes elements of self-defense, weapons training, and practical drills that keep students engaged and challenged—without sacrificing safety or fun.
Not Just for Kids
Rising Sun Martial Arts is more than a kids’ program. Teens and adults benefit from the empowering mix of stress relief, fitness, and skill-building that martial arts provides. And for students looking to go even further, the Leadership Program gives them hands-on opportunities to mentor others, speak in front of groups, and step into roles of responsibility.
Whether your goal is focus in school, confidence in life, or simply a healthy, positive activity for your child, Rising Sun is where real transformation begins.
