Lifelong friends Drew Allen and Shane Rusk had a dream of one day opening their own martial arts academy, jokingly speculating they might be 50 before achieving it. However, their journey took an unexpected turn when their success in private healthcare ventures allowed them to “jump the gun” (as Shane puts it) on their dream a decade sooner than anticipated.

Both Drew and Shane, as martial artists, have personally witnessed the profound, life-changing impacts that occur on the mats. From this shared experience emerged the vision of Iron Trinity, born out of a desire to cultivate communities that are stronger, safer, and more self-reliant.

Drew and Shane are joined by a dedicated ownership team comprising Augusta Owens, Erik Hicks, and Clay Elliott. Each member brings a wealth of experience and knowledge from diverse backgrounds including the United States Military, corporate America, and the broader martial arts community.

At Iron Trinity you will find a community that is welcoming of all people. Our mission is to empower individuals and transform lives through martial arts practice, prioritizing sport, physical fitness, and self-defense. We are unwaveringly committed to nurturing a supportive environment that fosters personal growth, discipline, and self-confidence. Our aim is to cultivate individuals who are not only strong and confident but also compassionate, carrying the invaluable benefits of martial arts into every facet of their lives.
