The Rising Phoenix Martial Arts Academy trains its students in techniques, concepts, and drills taken from the best arts that more than thirty-five years of experience and research have revealed. This research continues in order to ensure that our program will not become petrified and unchanging, but will continue to grow and evolve as we do. This makes for a training program and environment that is greater than the sum of its parts. The arts are not only selected for their effectiveness but for how well they blend with each other. To better understand this, think of the five ranges, or distances, you should concern yourself with for self-defense; they are, from the farthest to the closest, Weapon Range, Kicking Range, Punching Range, Trapping Range, and Grappling Range.
