Inspire Martial Arts

I come to their kickboxing class once a week in the evenings. They have different instructors in which I have taken classes with and they are all great with different teaching styles. They motivate you and the class is so much fun. Bumping music, moves and sweat! It's a mixture of everything and best believe, you leave your class huffing and puffing, feeling great. My 5 yo daughter is in their tiger class twice a week. At first, I was expecting the class to be all physical but to my surprise, they teach amazing life lessons like building confidence, self discipline, hard work, control, and respect. This made me commit. We've also taken this class with multiple instructors and every one of them are so kind and amazing. They are so great with kids and I love them all so much! My girl enjoys this class and it's nice parents can sit in the class to watch. Towards the end, they have you interact with your child in helping them develop their skills which is a nice way to bond. I think of all the places in Davis, this place is probably the best in terms of quality for adults and children. They also offer camps which I've heard great things about.

My son has been going here for 8 or 9 months and it has been such a good experience! The instructors are so good with the kids and my son has really enjoyed learning so much!

This place changed my children for the better. They learn about the importance of discipline, self confidence, respect, hard work, and more. My boys love it! They only need to go twice a week but the small human would go every day if we had the time. The messages of the week are great and I always smile when they recite them or talk about the messages at the dinner table or with each other. I haven't even touched on the actual martial arts training. It has been great for their overall conditioning and strength. If you have been curious, go during one of their trial/buddy weeks that happen regularly. I can almost guarantee you or your child will want to join soon thereafter.

I spent a month here for cardio kickboxing (had to cancel for a little because of money). Absolutely love it there.Very empowering place where everyone is respectful and encouraging. The instructors are knowledgable and fun! Each class is new no matter how many times you go. One class started as a kickboxing class, but slowly turned into a self-defense class.The place is $89/month for unlimited cardio kickboxing classes, with a discount for UC Davis students. When you join, you get a pair of arm bandages and gloves for free. You can go to one free class before you decide to commit!

I've always wanted to try kickboxing so when I saw the groupon deal ($50 x 10 classes) I knew I had to get it! I'm so happy I did! The staff at Baciarini's Martial Arts are amazing! Starting with my first phone call inquiring about the program I felt very welcomed. They even sent me a welcome postcard, and the staff members are always checking on my progress or any concerns I may have. It's these little things that make coming here so great. The kickboxing class itself is so much fun!!! Definitely get an intense workout and class goes by so quick!! When you least expect it, you've been sweating for 45 minutes and you don't want it to stop! I definitely recommend it! There's a few summer promotions (and groupon) if you want to try it out.

If you want a full body toning class, I recommend that you try their kickboxing class. I purchased a groupon ($50 for 10 classes) to try out the kickboxing classes and I am very glad that I did. The groupon also came with a pair of boxing gloves. The class starts with a warm up (~15min) and then every student gets their punching bag. The instructor introduces the routine and you exercise with the punching bag for about 30 min. You end the class with a cool-down. I suggest you check it out and try different instructors to see who fits your work out style better. All of the staff is very nice and make you feel very welcomed (they even learn your name by your second time).

Purchased the cardio kickboxing groupon deal for 50 bucks. 10 classes which includes a pair of boxing gloves. This class is amazing! Great workout and totally worth the money. I've been going twice a week since I purchased the groupon and I love how energized I feel after. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They offer to meet with you to help you meet your goals and how you can make them happen. The instructors switch off for different classes but you'll often see them participate in the workout when someone else is leading the class. I love the environment and the motivation. Definitely recommend this class!!!

Black Belt Excellence Everyday! By far the best Martial Arts school in Davis. Great experience for kids to adults. It is a great family atmosphere that is welcoming and honest. My oldest son started this school in 2006 after a bad experience at another school in the area and has been loving it ever since. My younger son started in 2009 and has grown to love the classes as much as his brother. Not to be left behind by my kids, I started training this year. We have made this a family activity and will continue our studies well beyond Black Belt.

Wonderful Tiger's class with dedicated instructors who keep a room full of young kids engaged and having fun!

Absolutely wonderful! I took my kids here for a tiger camp 6 months ago, and liked it so much that I enrolled myself, as I'd always wanted to learn martial arts, and haven't looked back.The first thing I noticed and continue to enjoy, is that everyone is overwhelmingly nice & caring. While the instructors challenge you and guide you to do your best, this isn't the Cobra Kai's - you will be supported and encouraged by all. The classes are well thought out and structured, beginning with warmups, stretches and techniques, followed by practice that varies depending on the day, and capped with a thought message to reflect upon during the week.There are no hidden fees for testing, no expensive private lesson requirements or extra belt charges. What they list is what you pay and nothing more, which is in contrast to most other places, and speaks to the culture of this gem of a school.When their busy schedules allow, my kids love coming here as well - and despite being fairly shy, immediately warmed to the head/senior instructors Cree and Chase, who are absolutely wonderful with them and the other kids. As an aside, my kids also get so excited if they see one of them around town and talk about it the rest of the day, and that further reinforces my opinion of the quality of the experience here.If you've ever wanted to learn martial arts or just want to work out (I'm already 10 lbs trimmer in 6 months), and even if you're an old guy like me - Inspire will inspire and welcome you.After class, I come home happy, satisfied and energized - and am learning something cool and useful in the process. Wonderful place, instructors, people and experience!
