Our Pillars
At Rising Sun Karate Academy, we are committed to upholding the following pillars:
- Respect: From day one, students learn about good respect through bowing and saying "Yes Sir" to the instructors. The goal is for the student to learn proper respect in the dojo, so it will translate into their lives outside of the dojo.
- Focus: Most exercises/routines learned at RSKA work to increase the student's ability to focus both inside and outside of the dojo. The student is constantly challenged both mentally and physically helping to develop this skill.
- Confidence: A natural byproduct of training in karate/martial arts is increased confidence whether the student is 6 or 36 years old. As a student rises through the belt ranks his/her confidence will increase accordingly.
- Self-Discipline: Self-discipline, or self-control, really starts to develop after some time training in the martial arts. This will naturally begin to spill out into the student's everyday life. Whether it's better dietary habits, work out habits, or home work habits students of all ages begin to realize this benefit after undertaking study of the martial arts.
