Everything you need to know before stepping on the mat for the first time. Don't see your question? Reach out — we're happy to help.
Absolutely not. Our beginner program is specifically designed for people with zero martial arts experience. We will guide you through every step of your journey — from how to fall safely, to your first techniques, to your first roll.
For your first class, wear comfortable athletic clothing — a t-shirt and shorts or athletic pants works perfectly. We provide loaner gis (uniforms) for trial classes, so you don't need to buy anything before you decide to commit. No shoes are worn on the mat.
Yes. Safety is our top priority. Our classes are structured with proper warm-ups, controlled drilling, and supervised sparring. Beginners learn in a separate, controlled environment — you will never be thrown into a live roll before you are ready. Our culture of tapping early and training with control keeps everyone safe.
We recommend 2–3 times per week for beginners. As you progress, you can increase your training frequency. Consistency is more important than intensity when starting out — showing up regularly and allowing your body time to recover will take you further than training every day.
Kids can start at age 4. Our Kids program has three groups: Little Warriors (ages 4–6), Legacy Juniors (ages 7–12), and Legacy Next Gen (ages 13–15). Students 16 and older train in our Adult program. We assess each child individually to ensure they are ready for the class environment. If you are unsure whether your child is ready, reach out and we are happy to discuss it with you before the first class.
Yes! We offer a free trial class so you can experience Legacy X firsthand. No commitment required. Simply fill out our trial form or contact us to schedule your session. Bring a friend and both of you can try a class for free together.
Gi training uses a traditional uniform (kimono) which allows for grip-based techniques — grabbing the collar, sleeves, and lapels opens up a wide range of chokes and control options. No-Gi training uses rash guards and shorts, focusing on wrestling-based grips and body control. Both develop different and complementary skills. We teach both styles at Legacy X.
Absolutely. We have an active competition team coached by experienced competitors. For those who want to compete, we provide structured preparation including drilling, live rounds, and competition-specific strategy. Competition is completely optional — many of our students train purely for fitness, self-defense, and personal growth with no interest in competing, and that is equally valued here.
No experience needed. No commitment required. Your first class is always free — just show up and we'll take care of the rest.
