Tabitha Murray
"I’m blown away by how much our six year old has learned in just a few weeks. This outfit is top notch. They are organized, passionate and excellent instructors. Super clean studio with a great waiting area for parents to watch."
Gabriella Mcclure
"Legacy Jiu Jitsu is an incredible school and community. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also genuinely great with kids, patient, encouraging, and excellent at building confidence in young students. The classes are structured yet fun, with a strong focus on discipline, technique, and respect. We’ve seen so much growth both on and off the mat. It’s clear the Legacy team cares deeply about each student’s progress, and they create an environment where everyone feels safe, motivated, and supported. Whether you’re looking for a solid martial arts foundation for your child or a place to train seriously as an adult, Legacy offers the perfect balance of heart, skill, and community. Highly recommend!"
Samuel
"This place is the best! Amazing teaching from the main black belts Edson and Mateus! Really great guys that make Jiu Jitsu fun. They are super good and have awesome styles. Legacy is also such an amazing community of guys and girls! It’s a really good vibe of people that train hard and support one another with friendship and improving our BJJ! Some people compete and others (like myself) treat it more as a hobby. Jiu Jitsu has been a blessing to become part of my life and Legacy is such a good gym to train at."
John Croom
"This place is perfect for beginners—welcoming, safe, and supportive. The coaches and staff are incredibly kind and patient with all levels. If you’re thinking about trying BJJ, this is the place to start. I felt comfortable being open and eager to learn, and what stood out most was how excited every member in the class was to have me there. I’m so thankful to have found the Legacy family; I was nervous about starting such a technical art, but they made it feel approachable. They are patient and accommodating to all abilities. If you’re considering giving it a shot, I highly recommend finding Mavi—she’ll take it from there and make sure you’re in great hands. I can’t say enough about how great the people are."
