About Rising Heroes
The Program
Rising Heroes Martial Arts is the premiere martial arts program for kindergarten and pre-kindergarten students. Rising Heroes provides kids the benefits of martial arts during one of the most important stages of childhood development. Rising Heroes uses martial arts principles to teach children skills and provide the athletic foundation for further training in various styles such as Karate, Jiu Jitsu, and Boxing as well a multitude of sports and activities. Rising Heroes builds confidence, self-discipline, gross motor skills, cardiovascular health, and group learning skills – all while having fun. Ensuring that the kids enjoy themselves is the most important part of our program, so they leave believing that learning is fun!
The Vision
Our goal is to provide a fun and challenging class for pre-kindergarteners and kindergarteners that is convenient for their parents and caregivers. The Rising Heroes dojo comes to you. We teach at preschools around Marin County. Our classes focus on confidence-building, skill development, and making learning fun. The lessons learned in class will help your child succeed in and outside of the martial arts studio.
