Rising Sun Martial Arts is a premier karate dojo in Scottsdale, AZ, dedicated to teaching authentic martial arts with a focus on character development. Under the expert guidance of Sensei Tim, we offer classes for children and adults, emphasizing respect, courtesy, and self-improvement. Our family-friendly environment fosters bonding and personal growth, with weapon training available. We are not a 'belt mill'—students earn their progress through hard work and dedication. Join our community to build confidence, discipline, and lifelong skills in a supportive atmosphere.
My daughter has been attending for a few years now. Sensei is a great teacher and not a "belt mill". The students have to actually work and practice to move onto the next level. My daughter is more confident and is learning to be more self assured and responsible.
Started lessons here recently with my son. It makes for a great father-son bonding time. Sword (and other weapons) are also available for training. Wish I would have started lessons earlier! Sensei Tim is top notch and takes karate seriously. He sets the standard for selflessly upholding the true values and purpose of karate and passing that on to his students. Highly recommend.
My 6 year old and I both do karate here. Sensei Tim clearly knows his work well and provides excellent discipline for the kids. I chose to join my son after watching for a few lessons because it’s super reasonably priced and it seemed like a good workout; it is:) My son has only been here for a month but he already repeats the lessons about courtesy and respect that they discuss each class which is really great to hear.
Excellent place to send your child for karate lessons. Our daughter has become more responsive, respectful and confident since attending. The Sensei understands children and knows how to instill confidence and respect throughout every lesson. We tried gymnastics, dance/tap, swimming lessons for our daughter and she didn't really enjoy them. She begs us to go to Karate all the time. Going to Rising Sun Karate has been one of the best decisions we've ever made. If your looking for a place to have your child go learn karate and have positive traits instilled, look no further. Rising Sun Karate IS IT.
My son & daughter love going here. Sensei Tim is very knowledgable and the curriculum is great. There is a great family atmosphere and family values are worked on in addition to the karate! This is not a "fly by night" dojo. I have been there many times when an older student drops in to say hi because they are passing through Phoenix!
