From the reviews
i was training here since jan 2025 and left aug 2025. in the past, i’ve trained at places like GB and the big G also in Pasadena. when looking at the other schools nearby, i selected this school because there was ample space and they offered Gi and No Gi classes.
This is a great facility for young and old alike! They just opened up again after about a decade long hiatus in Pasadena. Our kids (boy 5yo and girl 8yo) have been going for about a month now and they love it! The confidence they are building is priceless.
I recommend Legacy Pasadena BJJ! Kids come here to have fun and work on techniques. Legacy BJJ has a great staff, clean environment and fun place for my kids. Coach Dan and rest of the staff are amazing and friendly. Great place for kids to have fun!
I traveled to LA and took 2 free classes. The teachers are very skilled and friendly. The lessons are enjoyable. May is super big.
New to kickboxing? Start at Legacy Pasadena
Legacy Pasadena comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Pasadena
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.
