Red Sun Academy is a unique martial arts school that combines seven traditional styles, including Shotokan, karate, Tae Kwon Do, Sayokan, and Tai Chi. The academy emphasizes real-street self-defense without the flash and is not as sport-oriented as some other schools. The atmosphere at Red Sun is described as relaxed, welcoming, and close-knit, like a family. The sensei is highly knowledgeable and dedicated to helping students develop, and the senior members willingly share their expertise. Students of all ages, from 9 to 70+, attend the challenging yet fun classes, which are designed to allow them to progress at their own pace. The learning environment is positive and supportive, with everyone encouraging one another. In addition to learning martial arts and self-defense, students report benefits such as improved balance, movement, coordination, timing, flexibility, and conditioning. Red Sun Academy is particularly recommended for those interested in martial arts, self-defense, or a new physical challenge, as well as for families who want to participate together.
