Zombie Defense Training

Six to ten martial artists showing you how a human fights off a zombie. Grappling, striking, music and a lot of noise.

Full schedule
Inspire performance during Davis Chamber's Family Fun Fest.

New for 2026. The team from Inspire Martial Arts take over a patch of Community Park to demonstrate what happens when a trained human meets a zombie. Expect grappling, striking, throws and a fair amount of theatre, performed by six to ten of their students and instructors.

They run two full shows and continuous training between 11:30am and 3pm, with music, so you do not need to plan your day around it. Turn up, watch one, carry on.

This is a free demonstration and there is nothing to sign up for. It is a show, not a class, so you are watching rather than joining in.
