Cathy Buchmiller
"We've felt incredibly welcomed since joining Legacy Jiu-Jitsu. The instructors are not only skilled but also patient and genuinely dedicated to helping everyone learn and grow.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a supportive and professional place to train!"
Jay Ayala
"For years, my whole family and I have been going to this gym, and it has been amazing. We are all in the Muay Thai program and have moved up through the ranks, making friends who feel like family. The program has really helped us grow in the discipline. The tough training, along with the supportive atmosphere, has taught us dedication and hard work. Our instructors are very knowledgeable and always encourage us to do our best. The gym is always very clean, showing how much the management cares about keeping a safe and healthy place for everyone. Because of this, we can focus on our training without worrying about anything else. For me, the health benefits have been incredible. I have lost over 60 pounds since joining, thanks to the great workouts and constant motivation from the instructors and other members. My family's overall fitness and well-being have gotten so much better, making us stronger and healthier. In short, the Muay Thai gym has become a big part of our lives, giving us a supportive community, helping us grow in the discipline, and improving our health. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to get fit and improve themselves."

"Honestly, the staff were nice but the program has issues. I signed up for Muay Thai. You start each class by jumping rope for five whole minutes. There was zero basic skills taught. New students were thrown right into professional fighters during sparring. The instructors obviously had favorites. Here's one tip instructors, ASSIGN THE PARTNERS. I would be standing there while people walked past me until I was the last guy left. If the teacher had been more proactive that wouldn't have happened every time. Also, teach an "intro to" class before throwing people in the mix with seasoned veterans. I'll never return to this place."

"Legacy is an excellent training facility in a great location. I’ve been fortunate to train at many dojos & gyms around the country & currently train at a top-notch gym. I was in town for three nights. I called the academy a few weeks prior to my visit after visiting their website. I could tell, from my initial phone call, this was the place where I’d find great training with legit coaching & awesome training partners. Legacy exceeded my expectations Legacy has excellent coaches, members & very pleasant staff. The training is superior to most, & they make you feel very comfortable. Kru Pierce is awesome, a true professional who focuses on you! He is knowledgeable about his art, as his passion for your success is very apparent. Whether you are a beginner or seasoned martial artist, you will find Legacy is very comfortable & challenging in many ways. The stand-up, grappling & overall vibe they offer provides a variety for anyone who wants to learn self-defense, spar & meet friendly people. If you are in the Richland area & looking to train, this is your spot. Thank you Legacy for welcoming me & providing a memorable experience! I wish this review option had 100 stars as options as opposed to 5."
