THE WORK HAPPENS LONG BEFORE FIGHT NIGHT.
What people see is the fight; the rounds, the takedowns, the punches, the wins and losses. What they don’t always see are the countless hours of training, the exhaustion, the nerves, the sacrifices, and the grit it takes just to step into that cage.
We are incredibly proud of both Christian and Jeffery, who competed at Fight Club: Ballroom Beatdown. It takes courage to put your training to the test in front of a crowd, and they deserves respect for showing up and putting it all out there.
And none of it happens alone.
A huge THANK YOU to the coaches and teammates and families who gave their time, knowledge, energy, and support throughout the preparation and on fight night. From pushing athletes through tough training sessions to warming them up, cornering them, calming the nerves, and being there when the final bell sounded—you are an important part of every athlete’s journey.
Hard work. Grit. Courage. Team.

✨ First Week of School! ✨

A big shoutout to all of our Risen students who headed back to school this week! 📚✏️

Whether you’re stepping into a brand-new school, starting a new grade, or getting back into the routine, remember that the same things we practice on the mats carry with you into the classroom:

🥋 Confidence to try new things
💪 Discipline to keep working when things get tough
❤️ Respect for your teachers and classmates
🔥 Courage to be yourself
🤝 Kindness to include and encourage others

We’re proud of the hard work you put in on the mats, but we’re even more proud of the people you’re becoming off of them.

Here’s to an AWESOME school year, Risen family! 📚🥋

Coach Torree will be moving a little slower tomorrow.
Tonight we worked an awesome takedown sequence that opened up several different outcomes depending on how your opponent reacts. Same setup, multiple options followed by lots of reps to make it stick!

Great work tonight, everyone!

What an incredible day at the Risen Training Summit 2026! 🥋☀️🌊

This past Saturday, August 8th, the Risen family came together in Decatur for an afternoon and evening filled with training, learning, friendship, and FUN!

🥋 We kicked things off with our Adult Risen Summit, bringing athletes together on the mats for an awesome seminar and the opportunity to train with members of the Risen community. We were able to have a mini King of the Mat Tournament and we watched two teammates achieve their black belts.

🌊 Then we traded the gis and rash guards for swimsuits and finished the night with a Family Pool Party at Splash Cove! Nothing beats seeing our students, families, coaches, and friends spending time together outside the gym.

Risen is about more than what happens on the mats. It’s about building relationships, supporting one another, bringing families together, and growing a strong martial arts community.

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who traveled, trained, brought their families, and helped make the 2026 Risen Training Summit such a great day. Thank you so much to Michael Donaker for putting this day together and to Chad Hawkins for giving us all a team.

Already looking forward to the next one! 💙🥋

Train together. Grow together. RISE together.
