What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Matthew Ponce
"Dropped in while on vacation for class/open mat. Great gym with clean facility and plenty of mat space! Shane was an excellent instructor who went around and ensured every student understood the techniques, even myself who was only visiting. Everyone there were very humble and welcoming as well as great rolling partners. I honestly felt at home and not like an outsider. I highly recommend that everyone drop in if given the chance, as I know I will anytime I'm in town in the future. Thanks again Shane for great training!"
Cameron Lovett
"I've been attending this BJJ gym for the past four weeks, and it's been an incredible journey. As someone new to the sport, the beginner-friendly atmosphere here is just phenomenal. Shane and his team of instructors are not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally welcoming and supportive. They make sure every concept is clearly understood, catering to all skill levels with patience and expertise. What makes this place even more special is its impact on my 8-year-old daughter. She started training here recently and has fallen in love with the sport even more than I have. The kids' classes are perfectly aligned and organized, focusing not just on martial arts skills but also on instilling values like respect, confidence, and discipline. Shane's ability to engage with children and maintain their attention, all while teaching them valuable life skills, is REMARKABLE. The gym itself boasts a clean facility with plenty of mat space, making it a comfortable environment for both kids and adults. The culture here is uplifting, with everyone from staff to members being humble and friendly. It's a community where you feel at home, whether you're a local or just dropping in. As a parent, seeing my daughter thrive in such a positive and nurturing environment is heartwarming. We've both found something special in this gym, and it's become a significant part of our lives. I highly recommend this gym to anyone, regardless of age or skill level. It's more than just a martial arts academy; it's a community that fosters growth, learning, and camaraderie."

"Joining Legion Martial Arts and training to learn jujitsu was the best thing I’ve done in years! I am 54 years old with no wrestling or experience at all, and in just a few short lessons, I felt very comfortable and learned a ton! The best part of the school however are the people! Every single one of the students we train with are supportive and encouraging - no matter what their experience level is! Safety is also a top priority for everyone there. I just cannot say enough great things about Shane Briggs’ school, the leadership team he has around him and the people . Definitely try a free class! You will certainly not regret it!"
Paul Fitzpatrick
"Two years ago, I walked into Legion for the first time. I was super scared of being judged and getting my rear end whooped. All I can say, is the group of people inside that gym welcomed me as if they had known me for years. Awesome people, and Shane is an excellent coach. His knowledge of the martial arts is profound and his ability to teach is a gift. Don’t be intimidated to show up at Legion, it’s family."
