Sensei Kathy is a true teacher with the gift of insight into each child that comes to her Dojo. As a parent, I have seen every child shown respect and consideration for who they are as an individual. Sensei Kathy is showing my 2 daughters how martial arts training can help them develop their self confidence - and it has! How all the skills they are learning in karate can help them in their life and also how karate helps in their awareness out in the world so that they are well prepared not to become a target when they step out on their own! Every time they go to karate there is a mixture of skills to learn and the very important element of surprise ,discipline,challenge and fun. The children LOVE this!
A great place for young & old to learn Martial Arts!!

Sensai Kathy has been an amazing influence on all 3 of my sons in many different ways. She has instilled confidence and pride and has made them both physically and mentally stronger. She knows each individual student's strengths and teaches to them. She brings out the best in all of her students.....whatever that best may be for that child. I am a teacher of young children and I would recommend Kathy to ANYONE!

Rising Sun Martial Arts is an incredibly diversified dojo where students can go and just be themselves while building Martial Arts skills as well as self-confidence. Whether a beginner or more experienced students never feel out of place and Sensai Kathy makes learning fun so students never seem to tire of the hard work they put forward.
Rising Sun Martial Arts is without a doubt a "Class Act"
Thank you for helping my son's to enjoy karate! They are very excited to be there and are looking forward to the fall!
