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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
