The classes they run
“My son who was getting sent home from school for behavioral issues every week, hasn’t been sent home once , since starting this program in December.”
“They're eager to get to the level where they can spar (even though they've been sparring since they were toddlers!”
“If you’re thinking of having your young ones or even teens try it out, do so!”
“The first green flag and the most pleasant surprise was that they teach about bullies and strangers and how to protect yourself and how to handle those situations.”

From the reviews
My kids have been training here for martial arts for 6 years, two of them are now black belts. Master Chris and Master Eric are very helpful with adjusting class expectations for my special-needs kid. He would not be successful in a less accommodating martial arts school.
My son has been attending Inspire for nearly 2 months now. Chris and his staff have been EXCELLENT with my son and every other student I have seen walk through the doors. They show excellent patience with the kids from the first day on. My son looks forward to going to the gym every class.
This is a fantastic martial arts studio, hard to find another one like it. The staff is very caring and understanding. Masters that teach the class are top notch with tons of experience. They teach kids techniques as well as behavioral strategies.
After months of less than desirable behavior at home and at school from our 4 year old. My husband and I were searching for a change, a positive outlet and a place for our son to express himself and feel confident and comfortable.
Your first Karate class at Inspire Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
