A Family Legacy, Built for Growth
Rise Martial Arts isn’t part of a chain.
It’s a three-generation legacy — built right here in Pflugerville by a family who believes martial arts should shape character just as much as technique.
For over 25 years, we’ve taught a system we created ourselves — blending the power of Karate and Taekwondo into a structured, values-driven program that helps kids grow stronger, inside and out.
What started as a passion has become a purpose:
To help every student build focus, confidence, and resilience in an environment that’s personal, supportive, and built to last.
Kids Karate That Builds Focus, Confidence & Self-Control
Most parents don’t come to us because they want their child to become a black belt. They come because they’re looking for something deeper — something that finally clicks.
They come because:
Their child struggles to focus or follow directions at school.
They’re bursting with energy but lack structure.
They shut down when things get hard.
They need more confidence, more patience, or more self-control.
They’ve tried team sports, tutoring, or just hoping they’ll “grow out of it.”
And they’re still looking for the thing that works.
That’s what we built our Kids Karate program for. With the right structure, guidance, and encouragement, we help kids grow in all the ways that matter.
More Than Martial Arts — Character in Every Class
We don’t just teach techniques—we teach life skills.
Our children’s martial arts program is based on a proven curriculum that helps kids grow mentally, physically, and emotionally. With positive coaching, consistent structure, and personal encouragement, every student is supported in becoming their best self.
Core Values That Shape Every Karate Class
Rise Warrior Keys
“I Keep My Goals in Sight”
At Rise Martial Arts, our kids karate program teaches students how to set meaningful goals—and stay focused on them.
Step-by-step progress: Every belt is earned through smaller, achievable goals. This builds patience, discipline, and motivation.
Visible growth: Stripes and promotions show students how effort leads to success.
Long-term mindset: Kids learn that real achievement takes time—and consistent effort pays off.
Vision helps kids stay focused and motivated, in karate class and in life.
“I Do What Is Right”
In our kids karate program, discipline means doing what’s right—even when it’s not easy.
Clear Standards: Techniques must be done correctly, effort must be real, and respect is non-negotiable. There are no shortcuts in martial arts.
Earned Progress: Stripes and belts aren’t given—they’re earned through effort, focus, and responsibility.
Ownership & Follow-Through: From remembering gear to learning from mistakes, students build the habit of taking responsibility.
Karate helps kids develop self-discipline they carry into school, home, and life.
“I Never Give Up”
In our kids karate program, students learn that progress isn’t easy—but it’s always possible. With the right mindset and support, they push through frustration and finish what they start.
Challenging, Not Overwhelming: Classes are designed to push students outside their comfort zones while giving them the tools to succeed—one step at a time.
Progress Is Earned: Stripes and belts aren’t given. They’re earned through consistent effort, resilience, and personal growth.
Support Through Struggle: Instructors coach each student through challenges—reminding them that persistence leads to progress, both in karate and in life.
Karate teaches kids to keep going, even when it’s hard. That mindset stays with them long after class.
“I Learn When I Fail”
In our kids karate program, courage means trying again—even after falling short. We teach students that failure isn’t a setback; it’s part of the journey to success.
Failure = Growth: Missing a stripe, struggling with a new move, or failing a board break—these moments help students grow stronger and more confident.
Success Redefined: Kids learn that real success isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, trying again, and learning from every challenge.
Safe Space to Struggle: At Rise, failure is met with support, not shame. Instructors guide students through setbacks with encouragement and accountability.
Karate helps kids push through fear, take healthy risks, and build true resilience—on and off the mat.
“I Know My Abilities”
Real confidence doesn’t come from praise—it comes from progress. In our kids karate program, students earn confidence by testing their skills, learning from feedback, and overcoming challenges.
Challenge Builds Strength: In a structured, supportive setting, kids learn to push past self-doubt and rise to the occasion.
Feedback with Purpose: Instructors give clear, actionable coaching that helps students improve and believe in their abilities.
Confidence Under Pressure: From stripe testing to partner drills, students develop the ability to stay focused—even when things get tough.
As they grow, kids gain more than martial arts skills—they gain the confidence to lead, speak up, and face life head-on.
“I Value Myself and Others”
Respect is more than a rule in our kids karate classes—it’s a way of life. At Rise, students learn to value themselves and those who help them grow.
Self-Respect Through Effort: By training hard and achieving goals, students build pride in what they’ve earned—not just what they’ve been given.
Appreciation for Others: From bowing to instructors to encouraging partners, students learn that success is a shared journey.
Habits That Stick: Politeness, focus, and listening become part of who they are—in the dojo, at school, and at home.
Karate teaches kids that true respect is earned through effort and shown through action.
