Rising Sun Taekwon-Do is in the heart of downtown Crossfield! We focus on providing activities in our community for youth, teenagers and adults!
What sets us apart from other martial arts schools? We provide an atmosphere that is fun, safe, and that allows students to reach their true potential while at the same time instilling life skills and character of a true Taekwon-Do practitioner. We uphold the tenets of Taekwon-Do, courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and indomitable spirit.
Setting goals, and working towards those goals is what Rising Sun is all about! We help our students push themselves and achieve their goals!
Head Instructor, Beth Gabriel, IV Dan, started Taekwon-Do in 2002 under the instruction of Mr Ben Gabriel. From her very first class, she knew it would be a huge part of her life. Even before earning her black belt in 2006, she was helping with demonstrating and teaching in the club. By the time she earned her second degree black belt, she was regularly teaching classes on her own. In 2011, she added Shadow Warrior classes to help keep the club growing and moving forward. Her hard work and dedication through the years earned her a World Cup gold medal in 2016. In January of 2018, Mr Gabriel retired and graciously passed the club on to her. In 2022 she earned her fifth degree black belt. She continues to train hard and strives to provide the best instruction possible while maintaining a balance between fun and discipline.
Assistant Instructor, Ms. Cate Braithwaite joined Rising Sun in December 2008. It began as a hobby at first, but with each class it became a more important part of her life. An instrumental co-founder of the Shadow Warrior program in 2011, she didn't hesitate to volunteer her time to help develop the curriculum and teach it. In June 2013 Ms. B. earned her black belt. Now a Third degree, and the Assistant Instructor in the club, she focuses most of her energy on passing on her knowledge of Taekwon-Do and coaching the younger students.
