From the reviews
I’ve been training at The Legacy Taekwondo for over 5 years and it’s been the best time of my life. I’ve strengthen my ability of discipline, confidence, and integrity. This place has changed the way I look at martial arts.
Legacy Martial Arts is great for all ages. Fun and family oriented. Roger motivates and encourages you to level up both mentally and physically. I wish i started years ago instead of just a year ago. My son comes in for taekwondo classes while my sis and i go in for personal training.
Our 6-year-old daughter is taking classes here 3 times a week, and she (and we) love this place. People who run it and teach are wonderful, extremely competent (as their belt proves it!), the teaching is inspiring, friendly, and our shy daughter felt right at home very early in the season.
I would highly recommend this place for training for children and adults. Classes are fun and interesting while they help you get strong and flexible. The instructor pays great attention to detail and is very patient with the new students. Great way to workout!
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.
