Nervous? That's Normal.

Almost everyone who walks into Legacy for the first time feels a little nervous. The hardest part is deciding to come. We'll take care of the rest.

You don't need to be fit
You don't need to be flexible
You don't need to know Jiu Jitsu
You don't need to “get in shape first”
You just need to show up

Most people who start with us have no martial arts experience. You don't need to get fit first, and you won't be expected to know anything walking in.

You're welcome to stay and watch. We'll introduce your child to their coach, help them get settled, and make sure they know exactly where to go.

Classes are split by age and ability, so your child always trains with kids at a similar stage
We encourage kids to build independence on the mats, coaches guide them without needing you to step in
No pressure to join in straight away, plenty of kids like to sit and watch before jumping in on their first class
Shy or nervous kids are completely normal, we won't push them onto the mats before they're ready

03 · Warm Up

Get Comfortable

Every class starts with a warm up, a chance to get moving and get a feel for the room. Don't worry, we're not getting you to do star jumps. Your warm ups are Jiu Jitsu movements, to help build that muscle memory from day one. Throughout class, your coach will guide and support you, pairing you with someone at a similar level or who can help support you.

04 · Technique

Learn Your First Technique

Everything is taught step by step, and you'll practise it with a partner at your own pace. There's no pressure to spar or do anything you're not comfortable with on your first day.
