We absolutely love Legacy Glendale and the Tiny Champs program! Alex has been coming here for a few months now and just earned his first stripe — he was ecstatic! 🥋 The coaches are incredibly patient, understanding, and truly take the time to teach the kids the fundamentals in a way that’s both fun and empowering. Right now, they’re learning how to defend themselves in “bully guard,” which has been amazing for building Alex’s confidence and awareness. The atmosphere here is so positive and supportive , you can tell the staff genuinely cares about each child’s progress. Highly recommend Legacy Glendale to any parents looking for a program that combines discipline, confidence, and great energy!

My 5 year old son has been attending Legacy Glendale since October 2022. He started the BJJ journey at age 3.5 and in the last 1.5 years of training, he has had so much personal growth. His confidence has gone up along with learning how to be a great team mate. I honestly can’t say enough great things about the kids program but I can start by mentioning all the improvements and organization in training that Professor Anthony has done since taking over. One of the few, if not the only kids program to provide classes 6 days a week with a minimum of 4-5 coaches a class. The coaches have become mentors, friends and we care for them like family. My son has made lifelong friends with his fellow classmates as have we with other parents. Although an individual sport, it truly feels like a team here at Legacy Glendale. Professor Anthony, Professor Vitor and all the coaches have a positive attitude and make the kids feel comfortable and welcome which is a huge plus for any new student who is shy or nervous about starting something new. They also have a great anti-bully program a new student has to go through where they train on how to properly defend yourself against bullies. My 5 year old son trains 1-2 hours a day at Legacy and is absolutely obsessed with going to class. The biggest reason for his love of jiu jitsu is the amazing coaches behind this program who made him fall in love with BJJ but also for the bond he created with them. They support his passion for training and competing and as parents we could not be more grateful to Legacy Glendale. So if you’re looking to put your child into a martial arts class, look no further!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We tried Legacy BJJ after a colleague recommended it, and it’s been amazing! Our 4-year-old son, Paxton, is usually shy, but the coach helped him come out of his shell and made him feel comfortable by the end of his very first class. He’s now in the Tiny Champs program, on his second week, and absolutely loving it! We love watching him learn and gain confidence each class. 10/10 recommend!

★★★★★ Watching my 7 y/o daughter flourish at Legacy Jiu Jitsu has been incredible. From day one, all the coaches and staff have shown genuine care and dedication to each student's development, going far beyond just teaching techniques. What stands out most is how they've helped build my daughter's confidence and resilience - she carries herself differently now, approaching challenges both on and off the mats with a newfound self-assurance. The supportive environment at Legacy truly sets it apart. The coaches understand that each student is unique, taking the time to provide individualized attention and encouragement. I couldn't be more grateful for the positive impact they've had on my daughter's development, and I wholeheartedly recommend Legacy to anyone looking for a jiu jitsu gym that genuinely invests in their students' growth and well-being.
