We have been going to Iron Horse for just over 2 months and attend the M-Th kids class at 5pm. The coaches are incredible. Coach Dustin, Coach Maddox, and Coach Cooper are patient, knowledgeable, and great with the kids. Our boys talk about going to class all day and cant wait to go back! Highly recommend.

Best gym hands down! Tony and the team are amazing — especially if you’re new to BJJ. This is absolutely the place to start. The whole crew creates a great vibe that’s perfect for training. Coaches Jer and Dustin are awesome too! Training partners are friendly, supportive, and always willing to help. If you’re thinking about getting into training, this is the place to be!

Great, clean gym with an awesome training environment. The head instructor, Anthony, is highly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in everyone’s progress. The class members are friendly, welcoming, and make training enjoyable. It was a well-run, challenging class for all levels—highly recommend it.

Ive know Tony for over 10 years and he's always been a great competitor and teacher. If you're looking for a tight knit school with a great No-Gi program then this is the place. The instruction available is some of the best in the area and you will not be disappointed. The hardest thing about Jiu-Jitsu is starting. Make that first step and earn the family that will come with it.
