It is one of the oldest Martial Arts styles taught today.
As to the physical aspect of your training, in a very short period of time, you will be developing more speed and power than you ever thought possible. Your flexibility will increase dramatcially, You will be setting short term as well as develpoing long term goals. We have a built in goal setting system in our belt rankings, where the students not only feel their progress, but see it as well. Setting goals for one’s self is not only important at the Dojo, but in our personal lives as well.
The teaching of a Martial Art without the philosophy and history behind it is, at best, a half-hearted attempt. This is why, in addition to the “Martial” we teach the “Art” as well. The “Student Creed” and “Code of Conduct” are both plerfect examples of what the Martial Arts are really about. Adults are required to learn the Code of Conduct, younger students the Student Creed.
Our school strives to build character, self-confidence, and self-esteem in all of our students. To feel the effect when you accomplish a goal, to have the confidence to walk away from a confrontation, to have the skills to defend yourself (if walking away is not possible) are all by-products of studying our Martial Art.
The study of Martial Arts is the only activity that brings together the energy of the mind, body, and spirit. In closing, you will have made a wise choice in choosing Rising Sun Jiu-Jitsu Academy.
