IronClad Martial Arts Center and Power Up Kickboxing
Description
IronClad Martial Arts Center & Power Up Kickboxing provides a unique and challenging experience to all skill levels while embracing a family atmosphere. Martial Arts instructor Kru John Johnston's history is an extensive one. He began his Martial Arts lifestyle when he was 11 years old. He first started in Tang Soo Do under the late Grand Master Richard Byrne in Malden, MA until he was 18 years of age. During this time John gained the knowledge of how to live the life of a Martial Artist.
Now for the past 14 years, he has trained and taught at the world famous Sityodtong Academy in Somerville, MA under the owner Kru Mark DelleGrotte, and the late Kru Eric Armington. Throughout these years, John trained extensively in Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, and Wrestling. Going from a student, to a head instructor in Muay Thai, to becoming the lead coach for the Sityodtong Fight Team - Kru John has had years of experience teaching many people the arts as well as bringing fighters to the highest level in MMA (mixed martial arts) so they could fulfill their dreams as a fighter in the UFC.
Kru John's path in the Martial Arts has not ended there. He currently trains and holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Professor Julianno (Banana) Coutino, Professor Daniel Gracie, and Professor Mike (loco lobo) Gresh. In March of 2015, John received his Black Belt under Grand Master Bill "Superfoot" Wallace in the Superfoot Systems, and for the past two years has been working extensively in Krav Maga under Sansei Chris Cole, and Master Corey Buzzel.
In 2008, John began a journey in competing and fighting in Muay Thai. After only having three fights and going 3-0 with 2 knockouts, both of which were in the first round, he started a career as a Professional MMA fighter on June 17, 2011. Since then he has stayed undefeated going 7-0 in MMA with all 7 fights winning by way of knockout and 6 of them in the first round. Kru John's last fight was in October of 2014 at the age of 44 and he currently holds the CES Heavyweight Championship Belt and was ranked the #1 Heavyweight in the Region.
Despite Kru John's extensive background in Professional MMA and Muay Thai fighting, Kru John displays a pleasant manner which lends itself perfectly to bestowing his knowledge onto others including children whom he is always a huge hit with. Having Kru John at the helm, children, teens, and adults will no doubt have an incredible experience learning the IronClad System of Self Defense, and understand how to live a life as a Martial Artist.
I look forward to seeing you on the mats.

I would like to give a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Coach Ben Murphy for receiving his black belt today in Jiu Jitsu. For those of you that don't know, earning the level of Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu is an absolute honor as it shows incredible dedication, time, and most of all hard work. We are very proud to have him as the head of our Jiu Jitsu program at IronClad we have always believed in him since our doors opened 2 years ago.
We wish you all an amazing day
Kru John is back!!! He will be teaching tonight. Thank you to all IronClad trainers for being there during this time and making sure all the students are taken care of and classes were able to continue as scheduled. A team is only as strong as the links in the chain, and a chain is not held together only by one. Thank you all for being such a strong team.
