No parent wants to hear those words. “My child is being bullied.” Whether it’s name-calling, exclusion, physical intimidation, or online harassment, bullying leaves emotional scars that can affect your child’s confidence, safety, and sense of self.

At Rising Sun Martial Arts, we train students of all ages in Filipino Martial Arts, also known as Kali or Eskrima—a powerful, fast-paced system rooted in real-world self-defense, discipline, and focus. So the question is… Is this karate? Or is it something else? And does it really matter?

In a world filled with distractions, fast-paced schedules, and constant screen time, more and more parents are turning to martial arts as a powerful tool to help their kids and teens focus, build confidence, and grow into strong, respectful young leaders.

Wait—really? You don’t want your child or teen to be more confident? You don’t want them to handle pressure with maturity? You don’t want them to be stronger—inside and out? Of course you do.

Confidence doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from overcoming. That’s why the best gift we can give our kids isn’t a shortcut. It’s a place where they can face hard lessons—safely—and come out stronger. At Rising Sun Martial Arts, that’s what our program is built for.

You’re not looking for a trophy. You’re not 16 anymore (thankfully). You’re not here to impress anyone with flashy kicks or brutal workouts. What you are looking for is probably something a little deeper. That’s what our Adult Filipino Martial Arts program is all about.

Power is very important! It is one of the principles in the Martial Arts. Without power your kicks and strikes would be useless. If you cannot generate power, an attacker would just laugh at your feeble attempts of self-defense. Generating power gives one a sense of immense confidence.
