Been coming to Legion MMA for a couple years now, and it’s always been a great time. From beginners, amateurs, and professionals everyone is always welcomed. The coaches are one of the best, knowledgeable, and patient coaches that are truly interested in helping every student progress. From Coach Mario, Kieth, J, and Stefan for the striking classes to coach Austin for BJJ, they all look to bring the best out of you.

Coach Stephan has been the most patient and knowledgeable instructor I have ever worked with, very professional and prioritizes safety above all else. Anyone who is looking to improve their Muay Thai and overall striking should go see coach Stephan!!

Legion MMA is a great place to train. They have muy thai, jiu jitsu, boxing, and mma classes as well as other training amenities. Stefan is a great instructor with a passion for muy thai that will bleed into your life. All the other classes are great as well, I don't think there's a single coach here that doesn't absolutely love the sport they teach. Every time I come in I'm greated with hospitality and pleasant menaces 😎

I can’t say enough good things about this MMA gym and Muay Thai coach/ fighter Stefan Obrigon who’s been my Muay Thai coach for 4 years and took me under his wing. All the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping every student improve whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced fighter. The training is high-level but always safe and structured, with a strong emphasis on fundamentals, conditioning, and real technique. The atmosphere is welcoming and respectful. Everyone pushes each other to get better, but there’s no ego here just hard work and support. Classes are well organized, the schedule is flexible, and the gym is clean and well equipped. If you’re looking for a gym that takes MMA seriously while still making you feel like part of a team, this is the place. Highly recommend to anyone interested in MMA, Muay Thai, BJJ, or just getting in great shape.
