Our Philosophy

The Indomitable Spirit Is the Standard

Mind comes before matter. At Rising Mountain, our aim is not only to cultivate the mind and body — but also the spirit. The indomitable spirit. Because when a student walks out of this dojang, we want them to carry that feeling everywhere: that anything is possible when you're willing to do the work.

🔥

Mind Before Matter

Character development is never an afterthought here — it is the priority. We cultivate the whole person: mental fortitude, self-control, and the belief that your greatest limits are the ones you haven't yet tested.

🤝

We Are Not a Daycare — But We DO Care

Every student, regardless of age, condition, or learning style, receives the individual time and attention they deserve. This is a place of cultivation, not a place where the minimum gets you by.

🎯

Ranks Are Earned. Period.

We are a Black Belt school, not a McDojo. Belt promotions here are earned through demonstrated readiness, hard work, and perseverance — never for showing up or paying a fee. That's the only way respect is built.

🌱

Tradition Meets Modern Application

Rooted in the thousands of years of Kukkiwon Taekwondo tradition while incorporating practical, real-world techniques. A well-rounded warrior flourishes in any environment.

💪

Exercise Is Foundational

Physical fitness is not a side effect — it is the foundation. Strong bodies build strong minds. Our training develops real capacity: power, speed, flexibility, and conditioning that lasts a lifetime.

🏔️

Anything Is Possible

When you walk into this school, you should feel it. This is a place where limits are questioned and potential is taken seriously. The mountain is steep — and that's exactly why reaching the top means something.

The Road to Black Belt

Every Step Earned. Every Rank Respected.

The road is long — and that's exactly the point. Each belt at Rising Mountain represents months of genuine preparation, demonstrated skill, and proven character. We will not promote you before you're ready. When you earn your next rank here, you'll feel it in your bones.

What You Will Gain

Train Here. Leave Different.

Every discipline we teach develops something real in you — something you carry off the mat and into every area of your life.

How We Carry Ourselves

Respect is not a rule we enforce — it is a value we live. From the moment you enter the dojang, the standard is set.

🙇

Bow In & Out

Bow as you enter the dojang. Bow as you leave. This simple act acknowledges the space, the art, and the tradition that came before you.

🗣️

Address with Respect

Always greet parents, masters, instructors, senior students, peers, and junior students with "Yes, sir" or "Yes, ma'am." No exceptions.

📢

Speak with Confidence

Speak clearly and with confidence. What you say matters less than how you say it. We grow warriors here — and warriors own their voice.

🤝

Honor Every Rank

White belt or black belt — everyone in this room earned their place. Respect every student's journey. We rise together, never at the expense of another.

Master Hollinger - 4th Dan Black Belt Taekwondo instructor in Stockbridge GA
Master · 4th Dan
Your Instructor

Master Hollinger

Master Hollingert Hollinger is a 4th Dan Black Belt whose foundation in Kukkiwon Taekwondo spans over 20 years. From his earliest training through international competition, Master Hollinger has dedicated his life to the art — not as a business model, but as a calling.

With 15 years of self-defense instruction, 10 years of kickboxing and boxing, and 5 years of Hapkido training, Master Hollinger brings a breadth of martial arts knowledge that few instructors can match. Every discipline he teaches, he has lived. A decorated competitor on the regional and national stages, he knows what readiness looks like — and he won't promote a student until they have it.

But records and ranks are secondary to what drives Rising Mountain. Master Hollinger's greatest reward is watching a student discover what they're made of — when the test is hard, the moment is earned, and the belt means something real.
