If you’re a parent, you probably spend a lot of time taking care of everyone else. You make sure your kids get to their activities. You show up at school functions. You pack lunches, manage drop-offs, clean up messes—and work a full day, too. But somewhere in all that hustle… where’s your time?

Welcome to Rising Sun Martial Arts—where parents in Jupiter, Abacoa, and Palm Beach Gardens trust us with what matters most: their kids’ confidence, growth, and future. From shy 5-year-olds to goal-driven teens, our program has one mission: To build confident, resilient kids who lead with courage—on and off the mat.

If you’re a parent searching for kids karate in Jupiter, you’re likely asking an important question: “What’s the best martial arts training for my child?” You want something that builds confidence, improves focus, encourages respect—and keeps your child physically safe. That’s exactly why families across Abacoa, Jupiter, and Palm Beach Gardens choose Rising Sun Martial Arts.

We’re not afraid to say it: at Rising Sun Martial Arts, we believe Filipino Martial Arts (Kali) offers a far superior option—for your child’s safety, mental development, and long-term success than Jiu-Jitsu.

If you’ve ever watched an action scene in a Jason Bourne, John Wick, Extraction or The Equalizer movie and thought: “That looked fast, real, and honestly kind of awesome…” You’ve already seen a glimpse of Filipino Martial Arts in action.

Parenting Through the Ups and Downs of Martial Arts. There’s a moment every martial arts parent dreads. You’re driving home from class. Your child is quiet. And then it comes: “I don’t want to go anymore.” Maybe it’s after a tough class. Maybe they didn’t earn their stripe. Or maybe… they’re just tired. And now you have a decision to make: Do I push them? Or do I let them stop?

We’ve all been there… Your child looks at you and says: “Do I have to go to class today?” They’re tired. Maybe a little grumpy. They might burst out: "I hate karate!" You’re juggling dinner, homework, and just trying to hold it all together. Skipping just this once feels harmless. But here’s what we want you to know…

Training with one of the most skilled Grandmasters of Filipino Martial Arts—SGM Percival “Val” Pableo—is always a joy. His collaboration with Rising Sun and Mr. Buzick highlights not only his technical mastery but also his infectious passion and dedication to the art. Known for his dynamic 2-day stick and knife seminars, GM Pableo brings traditional Doce Pares techniques into modern contexts, ensuring both deep respect for heritage and relevance for today’s practitioners.

If you’ve ever seen a child earn their next belt in martial arts, you know—it’s a powerful moment. But at Rising Sun Martial Arts in Jupiter, we know that the most important growth doesn’t always show up on a belt. It shows up in who they’re becoming.

If you’ve ever watched an action scene in a Jason Bourne, John Wick, Extraction or The Equalizer movie and thought: “That looked fast, real, and honestly kind of awesome…” You’ve already seen a glimpse of Filipino Martial Arts in action.

You enrolled your child at Rising Sun Martial Arts for more than just physical movement and self-defense. You enrolled them because you want them to also grow up with…

You don’t need to be aggressive. You don’t need to be loud. You don’t need to have any experience. But you do deserve to feel strong. You deserve to walk through a parking lot with confidence. To set boundaries without hesitation. To handle stress in a healthy, powerful way. To feel connected to your body—not at war with it. That’s what we help women and girls do at Rising Sun Martial Arts in Downtown Abacoa, Jupiter.

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.

What would you say if your son or daughter comes home, telling you that there is a kid in their class who regularly pushes them, pokes them or trips them in the yard at school?
