From the reviews
New Jiu-Jitsu coach there, best in Phoenix Hit up Austin Wourms with Star Killer Grappling, also known as SKG! Amazing with kids, can teach all levels, competive black belt, and Pro MMA fighter.
Came to this gym while on vacation and the coaching staff, front desk, and other students were great! They helped me get started, let me practice and learn like I was a member of the school and gave quality classes. The gym itself has a real neat “fighter” feel to it.
It’s not easy finding a solid MMA gym, but Legion is that find. Coach Stefan’s Muay Thai in particular is some of my favorite Marshall arts training I’ve ever don’t, and I’ve bounced around a few gyms trying to find that.
Best fighting gym in the area! I’ve been going since April. My biggest goal was to get in shape. I’ve lost 20LBS since joining and have the best stamina I’ve ever had. All the coaches are great and they push you hard. Special thanks to coach Stefan! His Muay Thai classes are amazing!
New to kickboxing? Start at Legion MMA
Legion MMA 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 Legion MMA
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.
