Frequently Asked Questions
No question is a dumb question. Reach out to our team for a friendly conversation about anything related to the sport:
This is a high level program. What ages can you start?
In general, we believe when a kid is ready for school, they are ready to try wrestling. For some that is 5 or 6. In our experience, and considering the stages of childhood development, ideally by age 7 parents really would like to be sewing the traits that wrestling produces. Wrestling is tough. If you think of young kids like a plant, you want to start building the foundation - a strong root system before we take on any intense storms or adversity. For this reason we scale intensity and instruction to age appropriate levels. We've seen how important this is and believe it's a place most wrestling programs are failing.
We're busy right now. When Does Season Start?
Wrestling is like a gym membership. You can start anytime and we highly recommend NOT waiting, because that's the number one complaint we have from members is that [they] wish they had started sooner. The individual nature, flexible and forgiving schedules allow that

My Kid wrestles around at Home but WHY is joining this program a good next step?
Rough housing and play wrestling at home, especially with Dad, has been shown to have incredible benefits for toddlers and Kindergarten age kids. There's a 10-12 year window starting around age 5-7, through middle school and high school where we as parents all want to develop the 5 pillars; Physical maturity is the most obvious, though wrestling is also the premium option for developing mental, emotional, social, and spiritual maturity. The data is off the charts. Wrestling is the single best platform for real tangible youth development like improved strength, speed, balance, coordination, cognition, decision making, self confidence, courage, social skills, friendships, meaningful healthy relationships, humility, responsibility, and so much more.
Karate has done a great job marketing these things for decades, though in the last 30 years, our experience is that they grossly over promise and under deliver in these areas. There's a reason so many Kings, world leaders, and empires throughout history have chosen to have their sons trained in wrestling by a knight, general, samurai, etc.
Are there discounts for multiple kids?

Can girls wrestle?
Yes, girls can and do wrestle. We believe the benefits to wrestling are not gender exclusive and there is a California Gold Rush type opportunity right now for scholarships in women's wrestling. As of the time of writing this we have less than a dozen girls in our program, though we would like to see that grow. As leaders in the wrestling community, we do believe that to serve women's wrestling well that it is best they have their own separate practices for many reasons. Currently, while we encourage the girls to workout together, they are currently in practice with the boys. As our women's athlete numbers grow we will create more dedicated practice times to accommodate their preferred learning styles, competition rule sets, and athleticism. Reach out to our team if you have any questions about getting your daughter involved with wrestling or our program.
About Us
Ironclad Wrestling is a better version of sports, period. This program was founded in 2016 by Head Coach and Owner Jake Elkins to educate, empower and inspire young people to do whatever they set their minds on.
We have a storied history of doing that having developed multiple World Medalists, sent countless kids to college, and coached hundreds of state champions. Ironclad is more proud of the fruit we've seen OFF the mat in our athletes. Our greatest success stories are of the transformation that happens over time in individuals, their families, and changed futures. These kids who leveraged the character, confidence and skills built in our program to earn college scholarships, graduate from West Point, go Division I in a sport other than wrestling, or become the leader of their family or workplace at a young age.
Ironclad is a wrestling program that seeks to make young people battle ready, partners with what you want for your son or daughter, helps them lean into their identity, and go from where they are to where they want to be - all using wrestling as a vehicle to get there. This is The Way.
Reach out to our team, so we can answer your important questions and get your young person on this journey and begin the fun together.
