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. The Dojo is very family-friendly, not large compared to other places and full of genuine hospitality. Don’t hesitate come check them out.

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.
