Inspire Martial Arts consistently goes above and beyond for their students. Sensei James and the staff strive not only to teach everyone how to defend themselves but to respect themselves and each other.

Inspire Martial Arts is absolutely fantastic! My son loves it here and is always excited for each and every class. Sensei James and Sensei Matt are incredible instructors who create a fun, supportive environment while teaching discipline, respect, and focus. They really take the time to focus on each and every student, ensuring everyone receives personalized attention. One of the standout features of this academy is their SET — Skilled Enhancement Training — which gives students the opportunity to learn and master different weapons, my son has been loving every moment of it. His confidence and skills have grown so much thanks to the engaging and well-structured curriculum. I highly recommend Inspire Martial Arts for anyone looking for top-notch martial arts training with amazing instructors!

My children have been going to inspire martial arts for about two years now and we are so glad we found this school. Sensei James , master Sean and miss Amanda have been great at teaching our kids self defense, discipline, and building up their self confidence. The classes are taught in a fun yet effective way that only inspire can master. We are extremely satisfied with our kids progress at the sport during class and in competition. Our kids have made new friends and we are confident to say that “INSPIRE” has inspired our kids to get better at everything they do.

My son has been attending class with Sensei James for the last 6 months, and I've been incredibly impressed. James has been an excellent teacher who is patient, encouraging, and motivating. Even at a young age, my son is learning discipline, respect, and confidence, while still having fun. James & Miss Amanda have been so welcoming and we are glad to be a part of the Inspire family.

My son did a free 2 week trial and was immediately hooked! Sensei James and Amanda have been so helpful from the moment we walked through the doors. Sensei James expects the students to focus, be disciplined, and respectful, yet makes class fun and meets each child at their level. He is patient and explains his reasoning and expectations to the students and parents. Highly recommend!

I signed up one of my daughters for trial classes and Sensei James invited my other daughter to join in. They were both hooked! They have grown so much more coordinated in the weeks they’ve been training so far. Thanks!

Grasshopper Program (5-7)
Tang Soo Do

Our Grasshopper Program is thoughtfully tailored to offer a
gentler and more seamless introduction to martial arts,
making it especially well suited for children under 8 years of age. Our curriculum is comprehensively designed to nurture confidence, discipline, coordination, and endurance, at
a deliberate pace, during this incredibly vital stage of
childhood development. Students will learn to kick, punch, and block, and learn how to do so applicably, while also developing the ability to focus, problem-solve, persevere, and lead.

Tiger/Dragon/Phoenix/Turtle Program (8+)
Tang Soo Do

Our Traditional Martial Arts Program emphasizes improving fitness, coordination, and confidence while learning a traditional Martial Arts Style. Students will learn applicable self-defense, sparring techniques, and traditional forms with a continual focus on the fundamentals, on their journey to earning Black Belt. Participants will be challenged on physical, mental, and spiritual levels. We teach not only ‘how’ but ‘why’ and most importantly ‘when’, or rather ‘when not’.

Saber Arts Program (12+)

Our dynamic Saber Arts Program teaches a specific Martial Art that our Masters have curated, inspired by the seven different Light Saber forms. The curriculum combines elements from multiple traditional Martial Art Styles, canon and physical fitness, to form a comprehensive combat style. Anyone aged 12 and older is welcome to join, no prior Martial Arts experience is needed. Being a “fan” is not a requirement.

Guardian Program (18+)
Tang Soo Do

Our Guardian Program was designed with our current families in mind. This Program is designed to help guardians learn the same material as their currently enrolled student, so as to facilitate practicing at home. Guardians will be held to the same standards as any student, while keeping within their own bodily limits. This program is consciously designed with the busy family in mind, it is paced to the individual and their needs, requirements, limitations and ambitions. Any Parent, Grandparent, Aunt/Uncle, Adult Cousins, etc. can join.

Challenger Program (S.P.A.R.K.) (13+)
Tang Soo Do

Our Challenger Program is an adaptive program specifically for teens and adults with intellectual disabilities, offering a safe and inclusive environment for students to learn applicable self-defense techniques, sparring techniques, and traditional forms with a continual focus on the fundamentals. We never lower our expectations for any of our students; instead, we challenge and support every student to raise the bar and achieve the highest level that matches their individual abilities.

S.E.T. Subprogram (8+)

Our exclusively designed “Skills Enhancement Training” (S.E.T.) Subprogram is designed to work in conjunction with either
our 8+ programs or Saber Arts program. Our Masters
personally handpick various weapons, such as Nunchaku, Kama and Kali, as the techniques of each complement
and reinforce the lessons and methodologies taught in all
of our base programs.
