New: Now offering Thai Boxing classes!
In addition to boxing, we also have Thai Boxing classes. Classes meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 6-7pm. Thai Boxing classes are taught by Chris Weitz, a professional Muay Thai fighter and former amateur national champion, and Andy Branson, a professional MMA fighter. Thai Boxing utilizes punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. Classes generally include shadow boxing, Thai pad work, partner work, with optional sparring after class starting at 7pm. Participants only need hand wraps, but for sparring a mouth guard and shin guards are recommended. Gloves, headgear, and Thai pads are provided.
New: Grappling & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes!
We now have over 500 square feet of grappling mats for the practice of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, grappling, and MMA. We currently have at least 6 or 7 competitive MMA fighters training at our club. No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class is taught by blue belt Steve Smith, and Grappling for MMA class is taught by MMA fighter Dan Almeida. Grappling classes are from 6-7pm on Monday and Wednesday.
Pricing
Gym dues are $35 per month for a single discipline (example, Thai Boxing only), $45 per month for multiple disciplines (example, grappling & Thai Boxing). Members may also workout on their own outside of scheduled class time and utilize ICOR MMA's facilities during Fit2Live's regular hours.
First opened in 2000, the ICOR Boxing Club is the only USA Boxing registered club in the Iowa City/Coralville/North Liberty area. We are located at Fit2Live, 123 Highway 1 West, Iowa City. Head Coach Adam Pollack has trained two national champions, sisters Emily and Katy Klinefelter, as well as several regional and state champions.
The ICOR Boxing Club has three USA Boxing certified coaches and has trained boxers at a variety of different levels. Some boxers just box recreationally, some box for fitness, some compete at a local and state level and others compete at a national and international level. We have had many state, regional, national and even international champions. We train men, women, boys and girls of all ability levels.
Activities done during training sessions vary on a day to day basis. Our boxers generally hit the bags, shadow box, jump rope, practice bag drills, participate in sparring drills and spar. Beginners are never forced to do anything they are uncomfortable with.
New boxers will need three things to begin training: a mouth guard, a plastic or leather jump rope, and hand-wraps (2 pair if they are the short kind). These items can all be purchased at any major sporting goods store or from www.ringside.com. We supply the gloves, bags and headgear.
