why CHOOSE Self Defense Classes at Inspire Martial Arts & Fitness?
We opened our martial arts school here in Burbank & Longwood with a simple mission: help our community get safer and stronger — inside and out. If you’ve been searching for self defense classes, our academy offers a welcoming place where beginners and experienced students alike can learn real self-defense while improving their health and confidence. For thousands of years, martial arts has helped millions of people become their best selves. As you master the techniques, train hard, and form bonds with your classmates, you transform on the inside too. Your confidence grows. Your focus grows. Your discipline grows. And those qualities help you achieve more in your everyday life.
Kids do better in school and find it easier to make friends and socialize. Adults focus more intently on their careers, relationships, and family. And knowing that you have the skills to keep you and your loved ones safe gives real peace of mind. Our classes are designed to support students of all ages while building strength, confidence, and awareness in a positive community environment.
Self Defense Classes for All Ages
Our kids self defense classes teach children how to stay safe while building confidence, respect, and discipline. Through structured martial arts training, kids improve focus, listening skills, and coordination. Theseclasses also help children develop anti-bullying strategies, better social skills, and the confidence to handle challenges both in school and in everyday life.
At the same time, our adult self defense classes are designed to help adults build practical self-protection skills while getting an incredible workout. Students learn effective techniques, situational awareness, and stress management in a supportive training environment. These classes help adults improve fitness, boost confidence, and develop the mindset needed to stay calm and capable in real-world situations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most frequent questions and answers about our martial arts programs
Bullies are rooted in insecurity and fear. But our Burbank & Longwood kids martial arts classes grow confidence, focus, and respect. And our group training builds positive social skills and confidence. So long story short: No! Your child won’t become a bully, and there are no bullies in our classes either!
That is up to you! If you need some ‘me time’ — go grab a coffee and relax. Your child is in great hands. If you’d like to stay and observe, you’re welcome to do that as well, and make friends with the other parents. We’ve got a great community here in our Burbank & Longwood martial arts school and can’t wait for you to become part of it.
No way! Some folks come to us who have never exercised in their lives. Others have athlete-levels of fitness. That’s the beauty of martial arts — everyone starts at the same place. And although you’re in a group setting, you’re on your own personal journey. Some people advance faster than others. Every pace is okay. There’s no ego here in our Burbank & Longwood kids and adult martial arts classes. Just support and positivity.
There is no real answer for this! And we’d urge you to be cautious of any school that gives you one. The truth is, the path to black belt is a deeply personal and individual journey. Some folks have natural talent and practice hard every day. Other people need to spend more time building coordination and fitness.
It’s not about getting to black belt, it’s about you becoming a better version of yourself along the way. As you train, overcome obstacles, make friends, find support — you’ll become a stronger you, inside and out.
