From the reviews
We absolutely love Inner Fire! From the very first class, my daughter felt welcomed, supported, and empowered. The instructors are not only highly skilled, but also incredibly patient and motivating — they truly care about each child’s growth, both on and off the mat.

If you’re looking for a martial arts school, Inner Fire Martial Arts is the place to be. We started our journey with Inner Fire Martial Arts about five years ago when my son joined. Currently, there are three of us in the family training and it’s something we all look forward to every week.
We’ve had such an amazing experience at this martial arts school, and I truly can’t recommend it enough. From day one, Mr. Gary and Ms. Leisha made us feel so welcomed and part of something special. The instructors are all incredible. They’re patient, encouraging, and really care about each student’s growth.
New to taekwondo? Start at Inner Fire Martial Arts
Inner Fire Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school — noted on their own site. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Inner Fire Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect 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, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
