From the reviews

Our family absolutely loves Legacy Martial Arts and 50/50 CrossFit! I’ve been going to 50/50 CrossFit since January, and from the very beginning it has felt like family. The coaches are fantastic, they push you to work hard while also meeting you where you are.

★★★★★ — Sara, Apr 2026

Legacy Martial Arts Academy in Hamilton is truly a gem. Our son started there in the BJJ class. Coach Dan is very patient and supportive with him, realizing that people learn and develop at different speeds.

★★★★★ — Joy, Apr 2025

So thankful for Legacy. My daughter takes classes during the week as well as private lessons. Coach Kris and Coach Roberta do a great job helping my 14 yo daughter learn the art of jiu jitsu.

Your first kickboxing class at Legacy Martial Arts Academy

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
