Elite Martial Arts Training for All Ages

We each have a fire within us. A fire that burns and drives us toward our highest potential. It calls us to expand our possibilities and be challenged. When we feel our inner fire, we have a choice. Will we remain what we are or rise up and grow stronger? Can we challenge our perceived limitations and find that we are much more than we thought we were?

With wisdom, we decide.
With courage, we act.
With discipline, we persist.
With respect, we look at life with reverence, seeing the beauty in others and in ourselves.

At Inner Fire Martial Arts, we call forth our best selves. We choose with a burning resolve. We take our place in the world as a light unto ourselves and others. A light that shines from within us, that burns brightly from inside. This light is our Inner Fire.

What Our Families Say…

Testimonials

"We are so thankful for the confidence that Mr. Gary helped bring out in our daughter. Through Mr. Gary's karate instruction, our daughter has gained not only the discipline in working toward something that has not been easy for her, but also the belief in herself that she can accomplish anything and the desire to keep going. Mr. Gary demonstrates a passion for the kids' successes and shows them mutual respect, making them want to work harder and be their best self. We could not have asked for a better instructor or role model for our daughter."

- Suzanne Andrews

Our son has been a student of Sean Gary’s for almost five years. Mr. Gary has not only been a wonderful teacher but a great influence on him. He connects with his students on many levels, which creates an environment where students want to give their all in karate and become better individuals outside of his school. You will be AMAZED by everything that he is able to teach your child in just a few hours a week.

- Hargrave Family

Mr. Sean Gary has been instrumental in our girl’s growth as a martial artist. He has a strong work ethic and is an excellent Instructor. In the dojo, he demonstrates and teaches the fundamentals of martial arts with great knowledge and compassion based on various skill sets. Equally significant, he also instills the importance of responsibility, self-confidence and respect, which are all life skills that kids need to understand outside of just learning how to “kick” and “punch.”

- Chris Rolater

“We have entrusted our son's care to Mr. Gary for almost 7 years. During this time we have never had a complaint with the way he and his staff treat him. He has a passion for teaching martial arts and makes it fun for the students. Parents and students love and respect him. He's always willing to go the extra step to make sure goals are met. We highly recommend him to parents who are looking for an after school program and a fantastic martial arts instructor.”

— Eddie Perez

“We have known Mr. Gary for more than 7 years. He has been a fabulous instructor for both of our kids and is a lead figure during class and with other instructors. He knows how to work with all ages which is the reason why we could trust him on all class levels with our kids. He is a person that has given time and patience through the years to all the kids we have seen come to his classes. There is no doubt that Mr. Gary has left a positive mark on our kids, and as parents, we give our deepest respect to a person that takes pride in the way he works with kids the way he does.”

— Barrachina Family

“We initially enrolled our boys in karate to teach them self-defense. In the world we live in today we felt it necessary. Karate and Mr. Sean Gary have been two of the biggest influences in both of our boys’ lives. Mr. Gary has taught them both for many years, helping them to achieve their goal of black belt. I'm proud to say that they have both met not only their goal but have learned much more from Mr. Gary who is an outstanding instructor that truly cares for those he teaches. He inspires and motivates while teaching self-discipline, respect and perseverance. Enrolling our children in karate was one of the best decisions we ever made.”

- Reed Family

“My kids have been attending karate lessons with Mr. Gary for the last few years. I am so pleased with what he has instilled in each of them. He is patient and has an ability to adhere to the personalities of each of my two boys. The drive and discipline that he has cultivated in them has flourished at both home and school. I am forever grateful for the for the positive impact he and his organization has given my family.”

- Spratt Family
