Open mat on Monday, all other classes are cancelled.
We hope everyone has a meaningful Memorial Day.

Our team had a great time at the NAGA tournament on Saturday! Fun matches, hard matches, we are definitely all better for it. Thanks to everyone who came out to support, there were so many more people who came to cheer who didn't make it into our photos. Also a huge congratulations to our kid competitors who absolutely crushed it! And we failed to get a picture with🤦🏼‍♀️

Our Summer Self Defense Camp is officially scheduled for July 11th and 12th🥳

This is a two day intensive and includes foundations of ground work and striking, multiple potential self defense scenarios and the opportunity for a "live attacker" simulation at the end. We also spend a lot of time discussing principles of consent, boundaries, myths about sexual assault, and how to be an advocate for survivors and women in our community. All of our instructors are trauma informed and work very hard to create and maintain a safe and victim blaming free environment.

This class is also your pass to accessing all future group self defense classes for free! So if you are an alumni you can attend our Friday night 6pm class along with all future camps.

Registration is available at the link in our bio and on the website. Feel free to message us with questions!

At Iron Roots we believe strongly in the power of teaching, of learning how to articulate your knowledge and sharing it with others. Any of our students who are a blue belt and up can sign up to teach our fundamentals classes. They receive a curriculum and guidance before and during the class, as well as feedback afterwards. The classes when our pr***en and teenage students sign up to teach are especially meaningful. We are so grateful for the ways our students support each other, watching everyone grow and collaborate is everything!

Choking our friends

We've got the best crew.
Congratulations to everyone who got promoted last night! So many stripes, 3 new blue belts, 2 new purple belts and a new brown belt.
You are all amazing and we are honored every day that we get to step on the mats with you🙏
