From the reviews
Ironclad is more than a gym. It’s a family of a great people who work together to introduce a better lifestyle to their community. The owner, Kru John, helps all the students in any level to be better each session.
Instructors are just awesome at what they do. No words can describe. Go see for yourself!!!!
My two daughters and I have trained with Kru John for many years, and all three of us earned our black belts at Iron Clad. Early on, I often had to push my girls to attend class. Between school and other activities, they would have preferred almost anything else.
Wanting to get back in shape, so I did a trial period for IronClad’s Power Up Kickboxing. No hesitation when committing to the membership… As long as I live within a commutable distance, I will be a member. All of the instructors are fantastic.
New to kickboxing? Start at IronClad Martial Arts Center and Power-Up Fitness
IronClad Martial Arts Center and Power-Up Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at IronClad Martial Arts Center and Power-Up Fitness
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
