From the reviews
After going to Legacy for about a month, I absolutely love their program and so does my daughter. They teach more than taekwondo, they also teach good life skills and have an awesome leadership program for older kids/young adults. All the staff are great, couldn’t be more happy with the lessons.
My first experience with Legacy Martial Arts began nearly two years ago when my grandson joined their Little Dragons Class at the age of five. He has been consistently attending about three times a week and is always excited to go to class. After seeing what a quality program LMA has, his dad and sister both joined.
If you are looking for top notch martial arts training (TKD or other forms) for both children and adults, Legacy is your best bet in the Twin Cities. Legacy provides a great environment to progress in knowledge and ability. The teaching staff is fantastic.
I spent a lot of time researching places that I would think my kids would enjoy going to to the point my wife was losing patience with me, lol. I was looking for a place that I would be comfortable sending them to, that the instructors know what they were doing and a place that just wasn't in it for the money and…
New to taekwondo? Start at Legacy Martial Arts
Legacy Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all 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 schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Legacy Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
