Legacy Martial Arts BJJ & Kickboxing

"We have been bringing our son here for over 3 yrs since he was 4 1/2. We have seen him learn respect, listening skills, coordination, and most of all he has high self esteem & confidence. Do we expect our son to go to competitions and win 1st place at all the competitions? No… but if that is what you want for your kid…THIS IS THE PLACE TO SEND THEM TO WIN TOURNAMENTS!!!! Beware, this is not a “Daycare” Martial Arts Academy. We send our son here for life skills and the results have shown!!! THANK YOU TO PROFESSOR RAIDER AND ALL THE COACHES HERE AT LEGACY!!!"

"Cannot recommend Legacy Martial Arts enough! My son and I have both been taking classes for a few months now. From the parent perspective- First Professor Rader is an incredible teacher. And he has brought up several excellent junior coaches through the program since they were little ones. They are great examples for the kids to chase after! The environment is disciplined but still fair and fun! My son has gained a lot of confidence, self-control, and has made a ton of friends in his time there. As an adult student- The coaches and the environment are what makes this place great! The coaches are great at explaining these movements clearly and show a genuine interest in our progress. And they each give great details on techniques from their own perspectives for us to think about and try as we are learning. Everyone is welcoming and always trying to just help each other get better."

"Excellent program and excellent coaching! Justin Rader has developed an outstanding program to teach not only the physical but the mental aspects of MMA. It offers the kids the opportunity to learn mixed martial arts while also learning respect, discipline, leadership, confidence. My twin girls love it there! I have nothing but great things to say about Legacy Martial Arts!"

"Professor Rader has created an amazing martial arts program for both kids and adults at Legacy Martial Arts. My daughter began training a little over two years ago and it has been huge for her. Her martial arts progress has been incredible to watch, but it’s not just that; on top of the highest-level martial arts instruction, Professor Rader also incorporates life lessons and is trying to build not only top-notch martial artists but also great (i.e. disciplined, responsible, respectful, confident, mentally tough, etc.) humans and future leaders in our community. Going in, I knew she would get high-level martial arts instruction but when I saw all of the rest that he does it really sealed the deal. There’s no doubt in my mind that Legacy has the best kid’s program in the state, probably much further beyond. I’ve since started training at Legacy myself in the adult program and I cant say enough good things. I never would have guessed jiu-jitsu would be so much fun and the professors, coaches, and other students are simply awesome. I’m so happy to have found the Legacy community and am proud and grateful to be a part of it!"
