Tori Jordan
"Great place to train for both kids and adults. The professors and coaches are super knowledgeable and extremely welcoming. They also truly care about your progress so they provide personalized feedback. They have early morning, daytime and night time classes, which gives many options for training. Since joining, my guard game has improved significantly and I really like that they have a good group of women who attend regularly and are phenomenal training partners!"
Deisy Resendez
"We had been looking for a Martial Arts class for our girls for some time. We weren’t sure how to go about it. Which type of martial arts to choose or which gym to start with! We came across Legacy and sat on it for some time and finally signed our oldest up. I love how patient and respectful the instructors are toward the children. My niece and daughter are always trying to practice their skills at home! They enjoy going and meeting new friends. Since getting their first stripe they can’t wait to get more. As a parent it gives me some peace of mind knowing that if they keep at it they’ll have the means of protecting themselves if they ever need to. I love their flexibility and the option to go 6 days a week. All the coaches and families are friendly, welcoming and respectful. I’m inspired by the commitment I see in the children, and in awe of how skilled the children there are."
Dàra Gunsch
"★★★★★ Watching my 7 y/o daughter flourish at Legacy Jiu Jitsu has been incredible. From day one, all the coaches and staff have shown genuine care and dedication to each student's development, going far beyond just teaching techniques. What stands out most is how they've helped build my daughter's confidence and resilience - she carries herself differently now, approaching challenges both on and off the mats with a newfound self-assurance. The supportive environment at Legacy truly sets it apart. The coaches understand that each student is unique, taking the time to provide individualized attention and encouragement. I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact they've had on my daughter's development, and I wholeheartedly recommend Legacy to anyone looking for a jiu jitsu gym that genuinely invests in their students' growth and well-being."
Anya Winter
"We absolutely love Legacy Jiu Jitsu in Glendale. My 8-year-old son has been training here for about 18 months, and the growth we’ve seen in his confidence, focus, and discipline has been incredible. The kids’ classes are such a great mix of structure and encouragement. The environment is positive, and the coaches really take the time to get to know each kid. Professor Anthony is amazing—he meets the kids where they’re at, knows how to motivate them, and keeps it fun while still instilling respect and self-discipline. It’s clear they care not just about building strong jiu jitsu skills, but also strong character. We’re so grateful to be part of the Legacy community. Highly recommend to any family looking for a place their kid can really thrive"
