DOJO CREED
As a student of the martial arts, I am developing myself in a positive manner and avoiding anything that will reduce my mental or physical health.
I am developing self-discipline, in order to bring out the best of myself and others.
I will use common sense before self-defense, never to be abusive or offensive.
WE ARE A BLACK BELT SCHOOL, WE ARE DEDICATED, WE ARE MOTIVATED, WE ARE ON A QUEST TO BE OUR BEST!
Phoenix Rising was born out of a journey of resilience and triumph

Like the phoenix of legend, Devin Robinson overcame hardship and addiction, rose from the ashes and embraced her family's martial arts legacy, passed down from her father, starting in 2021 with the opening of the first Phoenix Rising dojo.
With a small location and a handful of students, she poured her heart and soul into teaching, determined to turn her passion into a thriving business, and share the positive effects of martial arts with her community.
Over time, her dedication bore fruit. Phoenix Rising Martial Arts outgrew its initial 1,500 square foot space, relocating to a spacious 3,500 square foot dojo in Mountain Home and dozens of students.
Devin's expertise in American Freestyle Kenpo Karate, with an eighth-degree black belt, is a testament to her extensive training under revered Grand Masters in the South, including her father, Grandmaster Curtis Futch and his instructor, Grandmaster Bruce Hodge.
Now, Devin Robinson's transformed life and outstanding mentorship inspire over a hundred karate students in Mountain Home. Her dedication and skill have earned her the prestigious honor of being inducted as the 2023 American Freestyle Kenpo Master of the Year by the World Head of Family/Sokeship Council, a testament to her incredible journey from addiction to triumph. Phoenix Rising now bares a new legacy and generation of the martial arts.
