Can you believe it been over a year since our last movie night?
Well, the wait is over...
on Sept. 26th, 2026 we will be hosting a Movie Night at Rising Fist Martial Arts!
Get ready for a fun night with friends, some snacks and of course the Karate Kid Part 2!

In the Dojo, Rank Is the Goal but Growth Should Be The Focus.

One of the most powerful lessons in martial arts is that everyone has something to teach. A black belt can learn from a white belt, and a white belt can inspire a black belt.

Every class, every drill, every partner reminds us that progress comes from staying open, curious, and humble. When we train together, we grow together. No matter what color belt is around our waist.

Keep learning. Keep improving. Keep lifting each other up.
That’s the spirit of the dojo.

2026 Karate Camp is in the books!
What a fantastic week watching the students and teachers alike work together for one purpose and that is to be better then we were yesterday.

Thank you to Jersey Judo Karate Academy Hanshi Norris and Mrs. Norris for their dedication to the martial arts and love for the students.
It is truly an honor being part of such an incredible organization.

Congratulations to all who were promoted and competed this year, and a special shout out to our newest Shodans
Jo Carandang Abigail Cassar & Aden Nguyen.

We are profoundly proud of you and look forward to teaching class with you in the black belt line!

That’s a wrap on classes as we approach Karate Camp 2026!

What you may not know is that two of the ladies in this photo are going to attempt one of the most difficult but one of the most rewarding challenges they may face and that is going for their Black Belts.

Abby and Jo Carandang
It’s been amazing watching the 2 of you grow as martial artists and we truly look forward to hopefully sharing the line with you!

See you at camp!

Karate isn’t just what happens on the mat. It’s who you become off the mat.
At Rising Fist Martial Arts students learn:

-Respect even when it’s hard

-Focus even when it’s noisy

-Effort even when they’re tired

-Courage even when they’re unsure

These aren’t just martial arts skills.
They’re life skills and they grow stronger every time you bow in.

Keep training. Keep rising.
