Honestly I couldn’t have been blessed enough to run into Dylan and Tanner Collins . Two amazing people and exceptional athletes with an awesome work ethic and teaching skills .I’ve grown and developed so much since being at the gym with the help of these 2 . If you want to be a certified killer this is the place to be at don’t believe just go check it out for yourself you won’t regret it !

The coaches staff are passionate about teaching their students no matter what their level of knowledge they may be. They have smaller classes during the day for beginners like myself and bigger classes in the evenings. The staff also creates an atmosphere of camaraderie with all students, veterans and newbies alike. This is something I have always wanted to learn and felt as if I was too old to start, but the staff and students have welcomed my son and I with open arms. If you are looking for a martial arts gym that will teach and train you while also look out for your well-being, this is the place!

Coaches are amazing teachers. They break everything down and make learning easy. The staff and other students are always super friendly, which creates a great atmosphere. Awesome with kids as well!

I have been looking for a place like this all of my life! I am brand new have never participated in any sports or training like this but I love it. Great coaching staff and communication. They have smaller classes for the newbies like me and larger classes for more practice. Great workout that you actually enjoy plus you get to support a small business which is always a plus.

Loving the time spent up there. Great coaches that want to see you grow and succeed. Highly recommended for all levels.

Great coaches and great friendly environment to train! Only trained with Coach Sina for a few months and I couldnt appreciate him enough for his knowledge and help in improving my jujitsu game. Highly recorded this place for martial arts training for kids or adults!

Today I took my first class with Ironside Martial Arts, and i have to say it was absolutely what I needed. Working with Coach Rich definitely gets your muscles burning and body sweating, and Tanner is a true professional when it comes to engaging members--new and old.Ive been interested in taking on martial arts for a while; and after today, I feel I made a great choice with Ironside. Im honestly filled with excitement for my next class on Wednesday, and my first Muay Thai class on Thursday.Enough about me though, the people are great and friendly. Also, current members will make you feel accepted with smiles and greetings when you join us. Classes are small so you get a good amount of attention. And if youre like me--someone whose never done this before--your classmates are eager to answer your questions and give you pointers. This is definitely a great environment to learn a new skill or develop them! Like the school motto says, Iron sharpens iron.

I started here a year ago. I was 30 years old, weighed 275 pounds, and had ZERO prior martial arts experience. Before I started, I was afraid the athletes here were gonna enjoy showing off by injuring me because I was the big guy and/or get frustrated with my lack of knowledge. But neither of those things happened and facing that fear has done me a lot of good.The experts at Ironside are skilled enough to work you without injuring you. If you put in work, they treat you like family. They care about your successes, on and off the mats.I lost 20 pounds in the first couple of months of training and Im confident Ill never gain it back. Learning jiu-jitsu has stimulated my mind and made me a calmer, healthier, more confident person. Most importantly, I truly believe I have become a better husband and father by regularly accepting the challenges that Ironside has thrown at me.I cant wait until my 2 year-old is old enough to start training and join the Ironside family!Come check us out.

Amazing coaching staff! You learn not only from the coaches but also the people that have been going here for awhile. The atmosphere is chill with some rolling at the end of every practice. At this gym youll meet people of all experience levels and everyone is looking to help one another get better. Good people and good knowledge among them. Looking forward to coming back some day!

Ironside is a great gym. All the staff are very friendly, and they do a great job at creating a relaxed and safe learning environment. All the instructors are very experienced and approachable. A great place for beginners and veterans alike. Their price is also very reasonable when compared to a lot of other gyms. I can tell they’re more concerned about creating a cool community than just making money.

Great gym who cares about the people! My son has been training for about 3 yrs at this gym. Great knowledgeable Coachs with patience to really train kids. If your competing at any level or just want to train to stay fit. This is the gym for you! Thanks Team Ironside for allowing us to be part of the team and family!

High quality gym with excellent coaches!

The coaches here are great and really work with your to improve your skill and technique. The gym also has a very friendly environment that promotes learning and bettering yourself. I have really enjoyed my time here so far

An overall great gym with great people! I recently started going here at the beginning of the year and loved every class! Ironside is perfect for all levels and experience, everybody is quick to help each other as well as the coaches and it always feels like you’re stepping into a positive family like environment. Ironside is my new home!!

Called and spoke with a guy named tanner was super knowledgeable, helpful and kind.After my first week I have done about 5 classes and this place is more than just a gym. From the environment off the muscle you immediately feel welcomed no matter what skills u possess. Coaches are amazing the trainees are awesome people to get to know.It’s a community and I can’t wait to grow with my Ironside mates

We just started about 2 months ago and love the gym. We are taking private lessons from Tanner Collins and would advise doing this if you can. Tanner is a great coach. We have had some group classes with his brother, Dylan, and he is a great coach as well. BJJ is complex and you have to give it time. Private lessons give you the drilling that you need.

I love Ironside Martial Arts! I look forward to every training session here! Everybody is so humble and welcoming. This is the perfect environment to learn and grow yourself mentally and physically regardless of your goal! This gym has something for all ages, young and old, as well as all goals whether you want to be a combat athlete, learn self defense or get a great workout! I can’t say enough great things about this family at Ironside!

My teenage son Nathan takes Mui Thai and Boxing here and he absolutely loves it! Tanner has been so helpful and has become a mentor to my son. My son was struggling to gain healthy weight and muscle tone and Tanner took his time to help him with a nutrition plan/suggestions as well as equip him with top notch Martial Art classes to achieve the best results. We can already see the difference after only two months! He has gained healthy weight, muscle tone and is learning so much. All the instructors are top notch and really know their craft. They live for this stuff! Master Sina is on top of his game. Nathan already feel like a part of the Ironside Family. As Tanner says, “Iron shapes Iron.” They all help each other!

Had a really good experience the time that I did train there, the people were very welcoming and the trainer was very knowledgable and patient. Due to some unforeseen circumstances I had to leave, they were understanding and worked with me to figure it out and help out. Ill hopefully be back someday. Loved it.

This is the best place to learn and train regardless of if you want to compete or get in shape. As a woman it can be intimidating walking into an MMA gym without knowing anyone but everyone here is welcoming and respectful. The coaches and students here are serious about training so come with a good attitude and an open mind. Everyone is like family so while we work hard, we also have a lot of fun as well. I’ve met some of my closest friends here and I can definitely say walking into this gym was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Sina is an accomplished and friendly teacher whose passion for the sport shows. He does a great job teaching technique and how to score in competitions. The people here are awesome and I’ve been glad to learn with them. They do a great job teaching respect while having fun in the kids classes too. Awesome gym that I highly recommend.

Best Martial Arts gym in the area with the best coaches you can possibly ask for. Ive been going here for almost 2 years and I havent had any regrets, the training will pay off and will help you become a stronger version of yourself.

8 Years of Greatness.

Amazing place. Love the people, child friendly.

Great place to work out! Friendly environment and all of the coaches I met were very knowledgeable and patient with beginners.

My son was training at a different Mixed Martial Arts Studio when Master Sina and Coach Dylan taught as guests coaches one evening. I was so drawn to their energy and coaching style, I had to find their studio so we could follow them. Since day one Tanner has been nothing but accommodating with my schedule, requests, etc. He made my sons transition very easy. We just hit our two month mark here at Ironside and I’m happy to say this place feels like a home away from home. The coaches are top notch people, on and off the mat. Their morals, ethics, and the way they care about all of their students you won’t find anywhere else. I’m excited to see where this journey takes my son as he grows through his teenage years into young adulthood. We love this team! ❤️ OSS

I love Ironside MMA! The atmosphere is amazing and the coaching absolutely high level. Our coaches care about every student no matter what age or experience level! We are all equal. Cant say enough good things, Im completely addicted to going!

Ironside is the best! I been coming here for almost 2 months what can I say, this atmosphere and all coaching staff are amazing! All of us help one another and I see a lot of progress in me in those 2 months this just the beginning. If anyone is looking for a mma gym this is the place to be!

Everyone at Ironside is super respectful and very humble. Whether youre a professional fighter or just someone who wants to try something new, the coaches at Ironside can help you get to where you want to be. All the instructors are super knowledgeable about their craft and have the experience to back it up.

I am incredibly impressed by the family atmosphere and value of Ironside. I was afraid it was a once a week thing but as of 2019 it is M,T,W,T. They are building a foundation here for the future and it really shows. They have been incredibly hospitable to us joining.That said, this isnt all kumbaya and high fives. They are very serious about the training and skill application. They give respect and demand the same. Theres no messing around in class, its all business.Come in for the free class and see for yourself!

Coaches help you no matter what stage you are in beginer or advance. They help you improve on technique and everything else along the way. Amazing place with awsome coaches. Humble family👏

The staff at this gym are fantastic! I dropped in for a class to see what I thought of BJJ and the gym. I was very impressed by Tanner and how he followed up with me after I inquired about the gym over a phone call. That follow up call got me motivated to come in and try out a class because of how personable he was over the phone.Coach Sina was excellent in his instructions to the class when demonstrating the flower sweep. Its really fun learning how to manipulate both your body and your partners to achieve better positions.If youre having thoughts about trying out marital arts I definitely recommend you check this gym out.

Have been here for 3 years and it has been great. Best place to learn techniques, skills and life lessons. It not just a gym, it’s a fam💪🏽

Without A Shadow Of A Doubt Bar Nun One Of The Best Facilities In The World To Train. Truly World Class Experience Instructors And Competitors!! The Camaraderie is Authentic And One Of A Kind. Master Sina Is Simply The Best!! A True Blessing. Coach Yon Is Truly A Blessing And An Amazing Instructor!! ☺

This is a gym the cares more about you as a person than as a membership. The coaches are great, understanding, and honest people. They dont limit creativity but they encourage it. Their instructions / directions are based in fundamentals and what works in the real world. They challenge you daily to be a better martial artist and a better person.

I have had a great experience at Ironside MMA. The coaches are all great at teaching, and the gym has great facilities. The culture of the gym is all about learning and fostering growth with no negative energy.

I had a great experience at this gym. Sina is very fair priced compared to other gyms in the area. His knowledge, teaching, and passion for his students to learn and push themselves is second to none. If you go there and do not learn anything he would be happy to return your money. If him being rude means you don’t get promoted within 1 month well sorry you have to earn it here. I highly recommend you try this gym!

Great gym with good coaching. Hope my schedule changes and I’m able to return.

I highly recommend coming to this gym if you are looking to train in BJJ or combat sports in general. Coach Sina is a very knowledgable and serious teacher, yet approachable and considerate. He always has an answer to every question, and follow up question. Tanner also teaches the beginners class, which is always lighthearted and fun. All the higher belts at this gym are great mentors, will give you advice after each roll, and are very patient with you. The Muay Thai and boxing classes are also great for working out and relieving stress. Arthur will teach you everything you need to know, even if youve never hit a bag before. Everyone I met at this gym was extremely friendly and there was no hostility whatsoever. Dont be shy to ask for help from anyone or make new friends.

Coach Russo is amazing!! Great boxing coach. Definitely knows his stuff and really cares about improving your performance.

Such an amazing gym with wonderful people. The instructors are all very knowledgeable, patient and dedicated to the students. There is a closely-followed code of conduct emphasizing an atmosphere of calm respect. Its also rare to find a gym with so many higher-ranking female BJJ students, and its great to have such a good variety of partners to train with. Their prices are very reasonable, with lots of classes throughout the week. Several students and instructors compete - and win - in regular tournaments, a testament to their scholarly and disciplined practice of the art. Whether you are new to BJJ or are hoping to advance your skillset, this is the place youll call home.

World Class Training!! Top Notch Instructors And Instructions Second too none. Great Schedule mornings and evenings. Phenomenal Adult And Kids Striking and Grappling Programs.

Tanner and the trainers here are some of the best you can find. I unfortunately had to stop attending Muay Thai classes due to a series of ankle/foot injuries (not from their classes, they were pre-existing) and the guys were so flexible. I’m 23 and had never practiced any martial arts prior, and the coaches believed in me and pushed me to get out of my comfort zone even though I was surrounded by way more seasoned people. I’m very impressed and wish I could have gotten to go longer. After revisiting physical therapy I’ll be able to try martial arts and Muay Thai again, and I’m so happy that I decided to get that ball rolling with these guys!

Great coaches great overall experience top notch mma gym

Fantastic work! Courteous people running the gym. Sore for 4 days.

Excellent school to train your kids at. The coaches are extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and always willing to help with any issues that your child may struggle with. My daughter has been training here for almost 2 years. She is now a silver belt under the Collins brothers, and competes in several tournaments a year. If youre looking for the confidence in knowing that your kid will be able to defend themselves if the need arises, look no further. These coaches will work with your child to make sure theyre as skilled as possible in many different martial arts (wrestling, judo, BJJ, kickboxing, etc.). Stop in for the free class. You wont regret it.Thor McF.

I’ve wanted to get back into training Muay Thai for a long time now, but I couldn’t go to just any fight gym. Fortunately, Ironside Gym allow you to come try a class for free.Blake Wells, the Muay Thai Instructor, looks like a trained weapon yet commands a magnetic, warm energy. He must have sensed me second-guessing myself because he always seemed to be around to offer the correction I needed or a word of encouragement.After class I was captivated watching two fighters rolling between classes. The bigger, more experienced guy wasn’t focused on overpowering his partner and instead used his his wit to conserve energy and outmaneuver his teammate. The younger partner was a quick study readily adapting to each “failure”. By the end of the session both fighters were evenly matched.I ended up staying to audit the BJJ class. Tanner Collins is an amazing instructor and teaches at a master level. It’s no surprise the entire class develops well and learns quickly. He also works an Operations Manager for Ironside and I can tell that he truly enjoys his work and it shows.I look forward to starting very soon.

Ironside MMA is a great training facility for the whole family! The coaches in the youth program are knowledgeable, patient, and attentive to the individual needs of the student. I can’t say enough about Sina and the entire staff.

I love this place and love training here. Coach Sina and crew have me addicted to BJJ and I hate to miss training. I’m getting better and losing 40 pounds was an added benefit.

I lost 17 pounds in 2 months, I’ve learned more about Discipline and being Honorable then I have learned anywhere else. From their Kids program to their adult program, it’s everything you could ever want. If you want to grow, you need to go.

Great gym, people and coaches!Cant wait to be back.

Ironside MMA is the Premiere MMA school in The Dallas Fort Worth area. Fantastic instructing with a real family atmosphere! Whether it is your first day or you are a Professional fighter you will find what you need here!

They were professional and courteous. They have a great kids program

Ironside is a great gym to be apart of. As soon as I set foot In the gym, Sina and everyone else who is apart of ironside made me feel very welcome. Sina is by far one of the best Coaches in the biz

I have been training for a few years now at Ironside, my experience has been nothing but humble and amazing. The coaches are amazing human beings and have great experience in their disciplines. My time here at Ironside has been a blessing as i can say the same of part of a great team. The owner and coach is very reasonable in regards to pricing and payments. I am truly honored to be a Student of Sina Hadad and Jon G.

Great place to train! Friendly coaches and teammates. Whenever Im back in the area I plan to stop in. Thanks Ironside, for letting me see what youre all about!

Extremely nice poeple and staffs. 100% recommended.

I started Ironside MMA 5 months ago at the age of 42 and its been the best decision i have made .I drove by a thousand times debating and putting off stepping through the door. But one day i did and glad i did and i had started this Jiu Jitsu journey on my own but once i came here i have made great friends that have been by my side through this journey. Im grateful for making that step in the door to meet Master Sina and my fellow mates.

This is a great place for anyone wanting to get into or continue mma , boxing , martial arts and more.

Great coaches, great team to train with weather it be to compete or simply just get into shape this place will help you get where you need to be.

I came in to maybe train 1-2 times a week, but the environment and people are so positive that I am now training whenever possible. Amazing Coaches, amazing training, hands down one of the best decisions I have ever made.

This is such a great gym! Having traveled to numerous other gyms in other states, I can say the level of coaching and knowledge offered is incomparable. Master Sina shares his wide knowledge and experience very professionally, with hopes to make a difference in everyone’s lives. The youth program at the gym is great too, the Collins brothers instruct outstanding classes that teach not just jiu-jitsu but also discipline to youth of all ages. The atmosphere of the gym is like a second home, where you will grow relationships with each and every member!

My daughter does the kids Jiu Jujitsu class and I do the adults striking class (boxing/muay thai) and we both love it here. The coaches here are AWSOME!!! Very family friendly environment and a great way to get some exercise.

Simply amazing! Sleek environment, abundance of positive energy and pure art unraveling on the mats.This is an amazing and wonderful place to train.  Whatever your skill level is you will be welcomed and challenged on a daily basis.  If youve ever thought about training jiu jitsu, dont hesitate to come here because this is the place to be. Coach Sina and his team of instructors have taken Jiu Jitsu to a new level.  Through patient instruction, thorough explanation, demonstration and a persistent attention to detail. I am honored to be a part of this family.

Ironside is great!!! Great coaches.. top notch gym💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

This gym is my second home. I’ve been training in BJJ here for the last 2.5-3 years and there’s nobody better than coach Sina. His knowledge of the game is on another level and he his the utmost respect and love for his students and everyone on the Ironside team. I cannot say enough good things about Ironside. Everyone who trains here is friendly and welcoming. If you think you’re walking into a gym with a bunch of fighters with egos and something to prove, you couldn’t be more wrong. If you’re interested in learning Jiu-Jitsu or boxing or Muy Thai and gaining some confidence and discipline along the way, stop in and check it out. The price is fair and you’ll make some good friends along the way.

I have trained for around 8 years and am currently a brown belt in Bjj, and this is by far one of the finest places Ive had the pleasure of training! Sina is a wealth of skill and knowledge, and everyone is friendly. Come train and meet us, you wont regret it!

Good atmosphere and friendly.

Great coaching, friendly folks and a real camaraderie among the members.

I feel like this is one of those places where they make fake accounts to review themselves and give themselves 5 stars. The guy is rude and the prices are rediculous. Would not recommend.

This is one of the best bjj schools Ive trained at. Coach Sina is an expert in his field and truly values the individual. Ironside has an inviting warm atmosphere and there was never any pressure to sign never ending contracts. I highly recommend this school to anyone that wants to learn Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

My 8 and 9 year old girls have been going to this place for more than a year now. They are always excited to go and always had a great time practicing and fighting . Builds self confidence and patience. They also have improved in their skill juijitsu and muay Tai.It is also very reasonably price. The coaches are great with kids and they showed them they mean business when its practice time.

Sina Hadad has been one of the most solid instructors that Ive had. His wealth of experience is priceless to have access to whether grappling on your feet or on the ground. He is extremely technical and sincere in his approach to jiu jitsu instruction and self improvement.Coach Juan has been a excellent motivator and reliable source for striking and MMA instruction. He instills a team mentality in you and pushes you to improve and realize your potential best.Coach Jerry Lair helps to establish solid technique and push the BJJ competitors that train during the daytime to achieve their personal best. He has a very down to earth approach, and he will put you to the test.This is a great place to train with creditable instructors. If you are looking for authentic technique then come to Ironside.

You get the best training in Ironside MMA if your a fighter or not a fighter.

I called to ask a few questions because i was looking for a new gym closer to my house. The man i talked to was veey rude, talked poorly about the gym i am already attending telling me theu are teaching me wrong and all these rude comments to get me to come. I was looking for a price not what you think about the other gyms in the area. I usually dont leave comments but rude service is never okay.

Ironside is for all levels from beginner to pro. Whether youre just looking to get in shape or you want to become a real fighter, this is the place for you. Great instruction from down to earth coaches in jiu jitsu, boxing, Muay Thai, judo, & mma. I cant emphasize enough how much knowledge & experience our coaches have, & theyre willing to pass it on us students. Ive been at Ironside for about three years and Ive never left the gym without a soaked t-shirt. The cherry on top of everything is the great atmosphere, were like a big family. No need to be intimidated, we all help one another & push each other. I love my teammates! Come be a part of Team Ironside! The negative reviews that Ive read are laughable, please come try it out for yourself!

Heres the real scoop.....this is a top notch MMA school. Master Sina is very much a professional and a gentlemen. The kids coach, and Arthur maintain a sense of order and instruction. Nothing makes the kids happier than fight night.Compare the costs around the dfw market and youll find you get what you pay for.We wanted the best for our grandson so we went with ironside MMA. He is now after two years a confident little fighter who is no longer afraid of bullies.This is a real review by a real customer and i approve this message....lol

This place has PHENOMENAL BJJ and MMA classes. These guys are all highly dedicated and have spent their lives accruing the knowledge that they share with their students. Sina is an iron beast with a warm, friendly center.

High level instructor Sina Hadad !!! Great Jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai classes. If you beginner or advanced its great place to get into mma or self defense.

Training with Coach Sina is always an outstanding learning experience.

Im Papi and I walked in their the guy idk he felt kind of rude to me and my friend like he is sketchy like if you walk in their you where about to get dropped kicked and your whole family would get rappedI would really not recomend thisFind some other place plz

Ironside is THE place to train in the mid-cities area. The coaches Sina Hidad and Bret Bosler eagerly share their extensive grappling knowledge. They are both competitive black belts in jiu jitsu PLUS Bret has over 20 years wrestling experience and Sina has over 30 years in Judo! They also have a great MMA program and the Muay Thai is top notch!

Great place to be in.

Very rude. Very expensive.

Best.

Great school!!!
