Head Coach & Founder
Francis
Yanga
Founder & Head Instructor
Black Belt · GF Team
Francis Yanga's journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu began over 10+ years ago, and from the very first roll, he knew he had found something that would change the course of his life. What started as a personal challenge quickly became a deep passion — one that he has dedicated himself to sharing with others.
Earning his Black Belt under Thomas Armstrong, Francis developed a teaching philosophy rooted in patience, precision, and genuine care for every student who walks through the door. He believes that the mat is a place where anyone — regardless of age, background, or ability — can discover strength they never knew they had.
Legacy X Jiu-Jitsu is the realization of Francis's vision: a place where technique meets heart, where discipline builds character, and where every student becomes part of something bigger than themselves. His goal isn't just to teach Jiu-Jitsu — it's to build a community that transforms lives.
