# Rising Sun Martial Arts Jupiter — Full Information > Modern Filipino Martial Arts (Kali & Eskrima) for kids, teens, and adults in Jupiter, FL — the weapons-based art Bruce Lee studied under Dan Inosanto. Sharper Mind. Stronger Body. Safer Training. ## About Rising Sun Martial Arts was founded in 2014 by Coach Neil to bring modern, structured, safety-first Filipino Martial Arts training to Jupiter families, professionals, and athletes. Located at 1209 Main St, Unit 106 in Jupiter, FL, the school serves Jupiter, Tequesta, Juno Beach, Palm Beach Gardens, Abacoa, Hobe Sound, North Palm Beach, and Jupiter Farms. Rising Sun is not a traditional karate or BJJ school. The curriculum centers on Filipino Martial Arts (Kali & Eskrima) — the weapons-based system Bruce Lee considered so essential to a complete fighter that he studied it extensively under Dan Inosanto and featured it across his films. Hollywood now uses the same art to choreograph Jason Bourne, The Book of Eli, and The Hunted. Training is standing-based: there is no ground-fighting, which dramatically lowers injury risk and makes Rising Sun a fit for working professionals, busy parents, and adults who can't afford to be hurt. ## Coach Neil — Founder & Head Instructor - Black Belt in 3 Filipino Martial Arts styles - 20+ years martial arts experience - Former U.S. Army Reserve counterintelligence specialist - Deployed to Iraq (2004–2005) - 4.5 additional years working overseas alongside U.S. special operations and three-letter agency personnel - 3 years training full-time in the Philippines under grandmasters featured on the History Channel's Human Weapon, including Grandmaster Val Pabla - Founded Rising Sun Martial Arts in Jupiter (2014) ## Programs ### Rising Kids (Ages 5–9) Filipino Martial Arts built for young learners. Short, structured classes that develop coordination, listening, focus, and quiet confidence using age-appropriate stick and empty-hand training. Kids learn the FMA fundamentals — ambidexterity, body mechanics, situational awareness — through movement they actually enjoy. ### Elite Kids (Ages 10–14) Real Kali for kids ready to level up. Stick work, knife defense awareness, empty-hand flow, and the decision-making skills that translate to school, sports, and life. Progressive responsibility, real curriculum, real rank — not participation trophies. ### Teens & Adults (Ages 15+) Practical Filipino Martial Arts (Kali & Eskrima) for teens, professionals, and active adults. The weapons-based system Bruce Lee studied under Dan Inosanto, modernized for real-world self-defense and cognitive development. Standing-based — no rolling, no ground-fighting, no torn ACLs. Sharp, sweaty, and built for people who need to wake up healthy tomorrow. ### Birthday Parties (Kids 5+) High-energy stick-fighting and Kali-themed birthday parties for kids 5 and up. Padded sticks, structured games, real skill demos. Setup, instruction, and cleanup handled — you bring the cake. ## Why Filipino Martial Arts FMA is the martial art the world's best fighters studied. Bruce Lee learned FMA under Dan Inosanto and featured Kali stick-work in the iconic Game of Death sequence opposite Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Inosanto, Lee's protégé, brought FMA to the West and trained the choreography teams behind the Bourne franchise, The Book of Eli, The Hunted, and Taken. FMA's emphasis on weapons-first training builds ambidexterity, spatial awareness, and decision speed that empty-hand systems take years to develop. ## What Makes Rising Sun Different - **Filipino Martial Arts (Kali & Eskrima)** — not traditional karate or BJJ - **Standing-based** — no ground-fighting, low injury risk - **Weapons-first** — cognitive coordination and ambidexterity from day one - **Built for adults with careers** — no torn rotator cuffs, no missed work - **Built for kids who want real skill** — not just stripes on a belt - **Trusted by professionals** — Jupiter's choice for serious training - **4.9-star rated** by hundreds of families ## Intro Offer Start this week. 100% money-back guarantee.
