From the reviews
Family oriented, multiple martial art disciplines by different qualified instructors under one roof. It doesn't get any better than that!

Took my daughter for the first time tonight for the jr 6-12 class. Just one class and it was a wrap. We will be back for more. Sensei Abu is great with the kids and he is also very stern helping build character and discipline. Can’t wait to See my daughter blossom under Rising Sun’s roof.
This dojo is an excellent place to learn Shotokan Karate. Sensei Pete and Sensei Abu care a lot about their students. Our family come here and we love the way they teach all the techniques and philosophy of Karate to all the students. It's a very family friendly dojo.
New to Karate? Start at Rising Sun Martial Arts
Rising Sun Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly dojo — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or set foot in a dojo, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and the sensei scales the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable dojos build fundamentals (stances, blocks, punches, and kicks) for weeks, and kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, with pads and control. Third, all levels and ages really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most dojos are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first Karate class at Rising Sun Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
