What Our Students Say

NFN
"Bring the kids, and yourself. There's plenty of top notch training for everyone, from beginner to advanced. My 2 children are learning from the best instructors in town. Particularly, Santos can explain the science of Jiu-jitsu to anyone (with or without ears 👂) who displays the motivation to do the work. Feels like a family. Stop in."
Brendan Coronel
"I had the pleasure of dropping in on a class at legacy grappling a few weeks ago. Santos and Phil run a top notch academy. You will find clear instruction, tough competitors, and a welcoming environment. Whether you’re new to jiu jitsu or a seasoned competitor you will find what you’re looking for here."
Paul Terry
"I've been attending Legacy for a few months and it's been an overwhelmingly positive experience. Before starting I had no BJJ or martial arts experience at all. Santos and Phil are very technically proficient and have put in the work to ensure it's a good environment. There are also some great people who train there. I look forward to progressing with them all for a long time and I'm looking forward to introducing my children to it as well."
Carl D'Alessandro
"Legacy Grappling Academy is by far one of the best places to learn and train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I've know and trained with Philip for a long time. He is an one of the best instructors I know in the BJJ game. I recommend anyone wanting to learn or a seasoned veteran check out Legacy Grappling."
