From the reviews

This place is home for us. It is it community/tribe. We moved to Charlotte at the beginning of COVID. As a homeschooling mommy, we struggled with finding our place and footing. I am not even sure how I ran across Legacy, but it never came up in my search for activities for my daughter.

★★★★★ — Chawn, May 2024

The instructors here are phenomenal and they have an outstanding program! Lotus Self Defense is an exceptional martial art that combines the best of aikido, karate, judo, jiu-jitsu, kenpo, and boxing into a powerful and effective system.

★★★★★ — Cody, Dec 2024

We have been part of the Legacy family for three years and when I say family, I mean it. The kids create their own little village and the parents/families do, too. The instructors instill values like discipline, hard work, kindness, and self-respect.

★★★★★ — Tiara, Apr 2024

Top notch training and excellent professionalism. Instructors are very knowledgeable in several martial arts. I not only get a great workout, but the more I learn, the more I feel prepared to defend myself if needed out here in the real world.

★★★★★ — Ahmose, Feb 2019

Your first kickboxing class at Legacy Martial Arts & Fitness

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.
