Today, “Martial Arts Family” has been redefined by the increasing popularity of the Martial Arts within entire households. Moms and dads, brothers and sisters are learning the Martial Arts together.

Did you know that many, many, many years ago some martial arts were taught in secrecy? Schools like Rising Sun Martial Arts did not exist. Most students trained solely for self-defense and meditation. At that time the other benefits of martial arts training like focus, discipline, body awareness and motor skills were either unknown or less understood.

Fear of public speaking — known as glossophobia — is one of the most common forms of anxiety. It can range from mild nervousness to paralyzing panic. In fact, studies suggest that up to 75% of people experience this fear, making it more common than the fear of heights, spiders, or even death.

Here at Rising Sun Martial Arts in Jupiter, Florida we communicate with parents on daily basis. Over the years we discuss many topics regarding martial arts or karate training for kids and teens. One of the many benefits of training in our Eskrima system is the bully defense aspect.
