From the reviews
Knowledgeable and hardworking coaches. This place is great for everyone, from serious fighters to people looking for a fun way to work out. They have kids classes too! Legacy is welcoming place where anyone regardless of gender can train.
I started the kickboxing classes this week. I have never done anything like this before and I was definitely feeling intimidated but the coaches out here are super patient as well as accepting. They showed me that I was capable of more than I thought possible. I will continue coming here as much as I can!
Coaches and the other people that train here are very friendly and easy to get along with. There’s a variety of skill levels from beginners to people that have fought before. So if you’re someone looking to get into it then this is definitely the place for it.
Never had ANY kind of experience before legacy and one month in i feel on top of the world!! Intrusctors are very kinda and patient, and classes are for all skill levels alike! I love the people and culture, everyone's caring and like a second family. :)
New to kickboxing? Start at Legacy MMA & Jiujitsu
Legacy MMA & Jiujitsu comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Legacy MMA & Jiujitsu
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. 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.
