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!

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.

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.

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.

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

Everyone at Ironside is super respectful and very humble.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Review №43

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
