Ryse Martial Arts-Jeffersontown

My son has been going to Hero Martial Arts for a little over 4 years! There are so many great things I could say about this studio! Sensei Ben and my son have the most amazing relationship, and I couldn’t imagine him training anywhere else. What started as us taking a free class to “see if he likes it” has turned into a lifestyle, and has taken us on the most amazing martial arts journey. My son is thriving and is learning to be a leader, teacher, and an amazing competitor. The Senseis and the staff at HMA truly treat you like family, and care for each and every child. They want the best for their students, inside and outside the dojo, and push them to best their very best! I have seen them work with children of ALL abilities! From beginner to advanced, there is a place for everyone in this family! 🩵🩵

Ryse Martial Arts was truly one of the best decisions I ever made for my son! We feel very blessed to have found such a wonderful martial school that is family friendly and they truly care about each of their students. They go above and beyond and are a team with you to help your child grow and succeed in wonderful life skills. Sensei Ben and the other instructors provide wonderful structured classes. You can just feel the warm positivity they bring to each and every class. My son Jesse has grown so much in his skills physically, emotionally, and mentally since starting Ryse Martial Arts! I could go on and on but that just goes to show how much of an impact they make. Please look no further if you are wanting your kiddo in martial arts! This is the place to go! (:

We’ve had an amazing experience at this karate school. From the very beginning, the instructors have created a welcoming and structured environment where kids can grow both physically and mentally. What really stands out is the focus on discipline, respect, and confidence. The instructors are patient but firm, and they know how to motivate kids while still keeping classes fun and engaging. My child looks forward to every class and has grown so much—not just in skill, but in focus and self-esteem. The classes are well-organized, safety is clearly a priority, and communication with parents is excellent. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about each student’s progress and character development. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for a positive, supportive, and empowering activity for their child.

We couldn’t be happier with my son’s martial arts teacher. From day one, he has created an environment that’s both disciplined and encouraging. He knows how to challenge the kids while still making classes fun and engaging. What really stands out is the patience and attention he gives each student. He doesn’t just teach techniques—he teaches respect, focus, and confidence. I’ve seen a noticeable difference in my son’s self-discipline and attitude since he started training. Classes are well-structured, organized, and energetic. The instructor explains movements clearly and makes sure the kids understand not just how to do something, but why it matters. Safety is clearly a priority, and that gives us real peace of mind as parents. If you’re looking for a martial arts teacher who builds both skill and character, I highly recommend him.

Sensei Ben and Sensei Justin are great! Highly recommend this dojo for anyone interested. Have seen my sons confidence increase tremendously in just the first 3 months. Now he's excited to go to class everyday. He even got me to buy punch and kick pads so he could practice at home. He always wants to show his new learned skills to anybody willing to watch. This is a great place, and glad we took a chance with the trial starting off. Now we feel apart of the Ryse Martial Arts Family! Update: Just wanted to add some pictures and say that Elijah is still going strong! We missed some classes due to a loss in the family. But Eli hasn't lost his passion for martial arts and learning from Sensei Ben. He begs to go to class everyday now and is looking forward to his next Belt Graduation Ceremony coming up. Keep up the great work! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! Join the family and Ryse to your goals!
