About Brent
At Rising Sun Martial Arts, our internationally certified instructors offer structured classes in the traditional martial arts. Students learn self-defense, but also self-confidence, self-esteem, and self-discipline. We offer a structured curriculum that allows all students to learn and grow as individuals and as martial artists.
Rising Sun Martial Arts has been serving the community since 1999; and we believe that we DO offer a service to the community! Over the years, hundreds of children and adults have come to us to learn self-defense, study a traditional art, get in shape, improve their self-esteem or for any number of other reasons. Many of those who have started out as "non-athletes" have gone on to become champions in competitions (click on "Trainers of Champions" on our website to see a list!); others have found that their experiences here had unexpected and highly positive influences in other areas of their lives. There is no limit to how far you can go!
Our school director, Brent Baker, has been training in traditional martial arts since 1984. He holds the rank of 8th Degree Black Belt in Goju Ryu Karate, 6th Degree Black Belt in Shorin Ryu Karate, 4th Degree Black Belt in Okinawan Kenpo Kobudo, and 1st Degree Black Belt in Zenkoku Ryukyu Kobujutsu. Mr. Baker holds the teaching grade of "Kyoshi", which loosely translates as "Grand Master Instructor".
In addition to his role as a martial arts instructor, Mr. Baker has a degree in education and works as a science teacher in a local school district. He has been teaching Science at the middle- and high-school levels since 1996, and is the Nonviolent Crisis Intervention trainer for his district.

We start the process with a FREE Introductory Session. This is an opportunity for prospective students to meet with our director and discuss their goals and our programs. During this session, the first basic karate technique (Upper Block) is taught. That gives the potential student an idea of what they will be learning and how classes are taught. It also gives us an idea of their learning style and how best to work with them.
From there, new students enter the Beginner Class on a two-month Trial Program. The Beginner Class is kept very small (often one-on-one) and gives students a solid foundation in the Basics before they move on to join the larger Novice Class.
We offer classes for students aged four through adult. We have even had students training into their 70s! Some of our students come to us with prior experience, and some do not; our philosophy is that everyone can learn and everyone can achieve.
There are no state laws in NH regarding instructor certification, curriculum or safety standards for martial arts schools. Anyone can open a dojo (martial arts school) and teach as they see fit. At Rising Sun Martial Arts, our school is internationally licensed and accredited through TWO professional organizations:
- The Shidokan International Karate-do/Kobu-do Training and Research Federation oversees our empty-hand programs.
- The International Karate Kobudo Federation oversees our weapons program.
These organizations hold us accountable to standards to training, teaching and conduct. If you are looking to train ANYWHERE, you should know whether the school is being held to these standards or similar standards.

Rising Sun Martial Arts is hands down the best dojo in the area to train in Goju Ryu Karate. A place where you can earn a high quality level of experience, tradition, discipline, and dedication to your training and character. Rising Sun Martial Arts and its members provide a family oriented feeling inside and outside the dojo. You get exactly what you put in. The expectations for meeting curriculum requirements are realistic and exactly what you want when learning the applications of self defense.
Brent is a great karate instructor and is always willing to work within a person's abilities and limitations. The structure is set up to maintain and achieve your goals. I would recommend Rising Sun to anyone wanting to learn a martial art.
This Dojo is family friendly with no bad attitude . Entering my 4 year of membership and to date I am pleased with the teachings. Gojo Ryu Karate is a traditional Okinawan Karate form with a code of ethics We rank high in tournament competitions to include sparring-forms and weapons which says a lot for the instructions
The membership includes all ages .You are welcome to visit or join and get some exercise. If you are a Senior you won't be alone as my age is 70 and if I can do, it it is possible.
Individualized training, personal attention. Great structure and sense of belonging to a exclusive group of dedicated people yearning for self improvement and goal oriented achievements . My son started at age 7 and with dedication, commitment and fortitude. Became a very respected, high ranking black belt by age 16. Created in him a strong physical and mental state of fitness and character.
Brent Baker is a consummate professional who runs a top notch dojo. Within our son’s first few classes, he was completely hooked and loves attending classes. Brent understands the important balance of challenge and nurture as a means to get the best out of any student, and this philosophy permeates every aspect of Rising Sun Martial Arts.
The instructor takes time to help individuals who need help, while maintaining the flow of the class. Kyoshi Baker makes the classes fun and engaging for students of all ages!
I have been taking classes with this dojo for over 6 years, and it has always been a lot of fun. The atmosphere there is very friendly, and Kyoshi Baker is fun to work with. I love working at the dojo, and I would definitely recommend this dojo to anyone who wants to try karate.
I thoroughly enjoyed my training at RSMA. The dojo environment that Kyoshi Baker has created is one of showing respect, giving one's best effort, and receiving personalized instruction. Each student has the opportunity to grow as a respected martial artist. I am glad to call RSMA my dojo family.
Rising Sun's head instructor and owner, for the 6 years I trained there, gave to me the most respectful, diligent, and kind instruction I could have hoped for with a training environment that was safe, inspiring, and fun, allowing me to grow as high and strong as my heart could dream.
My son has been at Rising Sun for over a year, it has given him a ton more confidence, he’s become more respectful and he loves showing off his new moves at home and looks forward to class every week.
Mr. Baker has a superhuman amount of patience with him.
I strongly recommend Rising Sun.Rising Sun’s program is a very positive environment to be in. It’s program is very structured and all of the students learn how to me respectful in the traditional Japanese environment. Although we are learning martial arts it are very safe and structured with a curriculum that tries to build character and self discipline. My nine years in this program has shaped my life in so many ways and I am so grateful for who it has helped me become.
