Professional expert coaching that will take your child’s wrestling and their confidence all the way to gold. Highly recommend.
Jake and his team are rare. They continue learning and pushing the limits. My boys had no idea what they were doing to start and Jake has opened his arms and expertise to them. Excellent program.
My son loves wrestling at Ironclad. There is a great atmosphere and culture.
Our son has been wrestling with Ironclad for 2 years as of February 2024. During that time he won a State Championship his last year of youth(2023) and qualified for State his first year of varsity as a 7th grader(2024). WE LOVE IRONCLAD! The instruction and coaches are the very best there are, however the life lessons, attention to detail of character and emphasis of good work ethics are what keep us driving 3 hours several times a week. We trust the process and know we are among family when we are there! Iron truly happens iron!
This place is wonderful....My kid has been wrestling for about 3 months now and Jake and all of his coaches are wonderful teachers and love the kids. Cannot recommend it enough. Even if you as a parent do not know much about wrestling, give this place a shot.
Loved it. Nice people and great atmosphere. Music was good too.
Dropped in here while visiting from out of town to train some nogi jiujitsu. It was a really good experience and I would recommend coming through if you’re looking for some good Nogi.
Came for the Labor Day seminar! Great gym!
my 6 and 7 yr old boys really love working with the coaches here!! Great atmosphere, great people, great training!!
Best instruction in town, by far!
Very nice facility
Top-notch program for boys & girls, men & women of all ages! Truly dedicated staff/coaches who go out of their way to give personalized attention to each and every one, helping you reach whatever goals you aspire to attain!
Whether you’re a middle/high schooler who’s taken an interest in wresting outside of the school season and want to pursue something more frequent (the same way a club baseball team essentially works year-round), or maybe you’re an adult who just wants to escape the monotony of a 9-5 work routine & incorporate something fun into your day, Ironclad has that answer for literally EVERYBODY. All three Elkins brothers are phenomenal owners/teachers and provide a wealth of first-hand knowledge, donning some the highest of achievements in the grappling world - and you can tell by the size of these classes they attract that the students absolutely love the welcoming & friendly, yet competitive environment they’ve been able to foster and implement over the past few years they’ve been in business. If it’s been something that’s on your mind, or you’re simply thinking of randomly “switching things up” on a whim - come swing by Ironclad one evening and check it out - you won’t regret it!
Awesome gym. Excellent instructors. Great environment.
Great coaches and very friendly
100% the best wrestling club. Hands down. My boys love it here. Excellence and respect is expected, and the boys (and girls) learn more than just wrestling. They are learning how to be decent humans. The coaches are top notch and are wonderful with the kids. Simply the best.
Excellent training experience. Fit for all levels. The coaches are very professional and also very personable. I’ve been training for 6 years and I’m blown away by the clarity of teaching. I’ve re-learned some ‘day-1 essentials’ in new ways, and also discovered the nuances happening at the cutting edge of the sport. Come train!
Love this gym. The training is incredible. Everyone is super nice and treats everyone great. Lots of class availability. Straight savages. They added a ridiculous amount of mat space upstairs and essentially doubled their surface area for training. Excellent decision. Update. Still awesome. Essentially doubled the mat space. I have to go in the AM and there are consistent guys mon-fri. All savages, all day Wrestling is the new meta for BJJ. And it's awesome. Update: the awesomeness continues
What can I say, the Elkins brothers are world class people, amazing place for both kids and adults 10/10 highly recommend
Great wrestling club / team. Great coaches.
These guys have everything you could ask for! They offer striking and grappling classes in and out of the gi. Great place to train
