Sharpen Iron Academy - SIA Allen: Opinions

Fantastic experience: Our son is only 3.5 yrs old. They have done such a great job with him getting so excited about class. My son loves it and they are so patient with him and all the kids given one day they are listening and behaving and the next refuse to follow direction. Just a really positive environment for younger kids while also building expectations of discipline as they progress. Will be starting his twin sister soon as well!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're excited to have sister join David soon enough!

The coaches are incredibly skilled, patient, and welcoming—especially with new students. They do an excellent job creating a positive and structured environment that helps kids build confidence, discipline, and technique. It’s clear they care deeply about each student’s progress and make learning fun and engaging. Highly recommend Legacy BJJ for anyone looking to start their martial arts journey.

Fantastic experience: Somos de España, fuimos de vacaciones a Dallas una semana y por casualidad nos encontramos con este gimnasio donde acabamos entrenando un par de días. Diego ha sido un maestro genial super cercano y la experiencia aunque no tenemls mucha idea de inglés ha sido genial porque hablaba español!! Al dia siguiente fui a una clase solo de chicas que siempre está bien que tengan esa opción para las que no quieren hacer sparring con hombres al principio y Laura fue super maja y cercana conmigo. Todas las chicas se portaron bastante bien conmigo Experiencia muy muy recomendable !! Muchas gracias a todos
Muchas gracias por visitar nuestro gimnasio y asistir a nuestras clases. Nos alegra que hayas tenido una buena visita y esperamos que puedas volver en el futuro.
Fantastic experience: We’ve been loving taking our girls here! Our girls have really enjoyed class and learning discipline and Jiu Jitsu. Shout out to coach Billy! 1000% recommend this for everyone!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and positive review!
Fantastic experience: Very engaging and like the discipline is nice
Thank you so much for telling us your experience and leaving a positive review!
Fantastic experience: I am glad we found Legacy BJJ because is everything we were looking for. Coaches are very dedicated and patient, and also love that they have more than 1 in the class, so kids get the attention they need. Place is very clean, and the girls in the front desk are always the sweetest, they are always happy to solve any questions we may have. Everything is 100/100 here I highly recommend. My daughter loves coming to class!
Thank you so much for leaving such a thoughtful and positive review! We're so glad to have Carolina joining us on the mats and becoming a part of our Legacy family!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I and all four of our boys started here about a month ago. Compared to other gyms we have been to this one is cleaner, much friendlier and full of knowledgeable teachers. The first thing we noticed when walking in was the warm welcome from all the staff.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so happy to have your family joining our Legacy family!
Fantastic experience: Our son has been enrolled for a month. We have been impressed with the professionalism and attention each of the instructors displays each session. Our son has already learned so much. The office staff is great too - always available to answer my questions and even got a video of my son getting his first stripe on a day I couldn’t be there. It was a nice surprise and great having that first stripe on video. Highly recommend Legacy!
Thank you so much for leaving such a wonderful review! We're so glad that you're impressed with the details that make Legacy special!
Fantastic experience: Our kiddo absolutely loves coming to class! 10/10!
Thank you for your positive review! We're so happy to be a part of Oliver's jiu jitsu journey!
Fantastic experience: Trained at this gym while I was in Dallas and loved everything about it. Professors were very inviting and gym was beautiful! Definitely recommend while in Dallas ☺️
Thank you so much for your kind words! We hope you'll join us again next time you're in town.
Fantastic experience: Clean facility, knowledgable instructors, welcoming environment.
Thank you so much for your positive review
Fantastic experience: I came here with my family to try the kids class and the adults class. What a wonderful experience. I'm a former professional MMA fighter, an executive of ONE Championship and I own a Muay Thai and MMA gym in Bangkok Thailand. I have been around martial arts at a high level for a long time and I run a school that has international visitors every day. If you are looking for a place to train for yourself or for your child, this is a wonderful place to bring them. It is clean, and well maintained, they have put a lot of thought into making it a welcoming environment. They have books and games for the kids to play while a sibling or a parent is training. They have signs reminding everyone of the rules of cleanliness. The head instructor came and greeted us warmly, and he meant it. He was happy to see new people at the gym not as customers but as new members of a community. The kids class was very well run, the kids were very disciplined and the instructors knowledgable. The adults class was welcoming to new students like myself and other people who were doing BJJ for the first time that day. Coach Adam was leading the class and was friendly, personable and an obvious bad ass who knew his stuff about martial arts. If you are looking for a place to train martial arts or a place for your kids, check it out and see if you like it and compare it to other gyms in the area. I am confident you will find the right home here.
Wow! We appreciate your positive and extremely thoughtful review. We appreciate you dropping you and we hope that you will do so again in the future.
Fantastic experience: We absolutely love Legacy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu! Watching our son’s journey here has been truly inspiring he’s not only improved his grappling techniques, but he’s also become more confident, disciplined, and focused. The coaches at Legacy are outstanding supportive, patient, and genuinely invested in each child’s growth both on and off the mats. His face lights up every time he heads to class, and he beams with pride whenever he masters a new move. We wholeheartedly recommend Legacy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to any parent who wants their child to build strength, character, and self-assurance through martial arts.
Thank you so much for such a glowing review! We are so glad to have Mauro with us and are so happy to see his progress on the mats as well as within his own confidence! We're excited to be a part of his journey.
Fantastic experience: We are new to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and could not be happier with our experience so far at Legacy! Marissa is an excellent host/front desk manager and made a newbie feel welcome. All of the instructors we have seen have been great with the kids—firm were needed, but kind, welcoming and encouraging as well. My girl is excited to train and looks forward to each class! Can’t beat that!
Wow! Thank you so much for such a glowing review! We're so happy to have Olivia in class with us, and we're honored to guide her during her jiujitsu journey
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Amazing teachers. I enrolled my son and now I'm starting to train too.
Thank you for your review! We're so happy to help you and Luiz on your BJJ journeys!
Fantastic experience: Professor Ricardo has created an amazing space and culture for BJJ. Nice facilities and amazing staff.
Thank you so much for your positive review Brian!
Fantastic experience: Great dojo , my son is 5 with autism, and he loves it, the instructors are so patient.
Fantastic experience: Great place for kids
Thank you so much for you positive review of our small business!
Fantastic experience: I cannot begin to say how incredible this academy is. Starting your BJJ journey can be intimidating and really difficult, but once you take that first step…Legacy is where you wanna be. From the instructors (professors) to your teammates to the management staff…every single person is top notch and extremely supportive. Extremely proud to call Legacy home.
Wow Andrew! Thank you so much for your amazing review and kind words. We're so happy to have you in the Legacy family and are excited to see your continued progress on the mats!
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and good with the kids. Would definitely purely recommend.
Thank you so much for your positive review of our gym! We're so happy to be a part of Nicholas' jiujitsu journey!
Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a place where your child can build confidence, learn self defense and feel a sense of accomplishment, this is it. I signed up my 10 year old just a few months ago and his self esteem has improved as well as motivation to learn more and do better in class. He had no background or experience and was hesitant to start. Just a few months in, he volunteers and wants to learn more BJJ. This is exactly what I was looking for. The instructors are encouraging, engaging and make sure to recognize all levels of achievements. They are very good at what they do here. I am looking forward to seeing my son grow with Legacy BJJ.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so happy to hear that your son is thriving in class and we're so glad to have him in our little community.
Fantastic experience: Our son has been taking lessons going on a year now and the progress is unbelievable. We can see a huge difference in class and at home. The instructors are amazing. They teach according to the students needs and our son looks forward to class each week. If you are looking for a jujitsu place I wouldn’t recommend any other place but this one.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for our gym. We appreciate your kind words so much! We love having Steven in class and love being a part of his jiujitsu journey!
Fantastic experience: One of the best things I have done for my son is signing him up for classes at Legacy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The structure and environment at the school are exceptional. It’s clean, well-organized, and welcoming. My son loves attending classes here, and a big part of that is thanks to Coach Billy, who is a truly inspiring mentor and role model for young children. He has a remarkable gift for creating the perfect balance of positive discipline, encouragement, and support. He trains the kids in a way that helps them grow not just in their skills, but also in their confidence and character. All of the other coaches are amazing as well, and we’re grateful for their outstanding approach to working with children. Thank you to the entire team for the incredible impact you are making!
Wow! Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review. We are so grateful. We have enjoyed being a part of John's journey and are excited to continue watching him grow!
Fantastic experience: We love Legacy BJJ! I'm utterly amazed at the gift these coaches have with kids. Within seconds of one of the coaches walking to the front, an entire room of jittery, loud kids will transform into disciplined, respectful listeners, ready to learn. The classes are athletic and challenging, but adaptable to every student's level. And they don't hand out belts just for showing up - these belts and stripes are earned through hard work, so it means a great deal to all the students. I recommend it to anyone!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words! We appreciate your support of our small business so much and enjoy every class we get with Derek! We're so happy to be a part of his journey.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this facility. My daughter absolutely loves training here and we have been to other jujitsu gyms before and I really feel like she is getting more personal training here. These professors are so thoughtful and caring and you can just get a sense that they love what they teach. They have built a great community and I love how close it is. Highly recommend this gym
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review! We're so happy to hear that your daughter is thriving with us and we love being a part of her jiujitsu journey!
Fantastic experience: Legacy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is truly something special! My daughter has been taking classes here since she was 4 years old, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The coaches are absolutely amazing with young kids — patient, encouraging, and incredibly skilled at making learning fun while still instilling discipline and focus. In just a short time, we’ve seen her confidence grow so much. She’s made great friends, developed a real love for jiu jitsu, and looks forward to every class with excitement. It’s been such a joy to watch her grow both on and off the mat. We toured several other dojos before choosing Legacy, and I can honestly say this is the absolute best place for kids to learn jiu jitsu. One thing that really stood out to us is how flexible their schedule is — they offer a wide variety of class times for both kids and adults Monday through Saturday, which is a rarity compared to many other places we visited. If you’re looking for a welcoming, high-quality, and kid-friendly environment to start your child’s jiu jitsu journey, look no further than Legacy. We are so thankful we found this place!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and positive review! It is so meaningful to us, and your little family is so appreciated. We love being a part of Madison's journey and are so proud of her progress!
Fantastic experience: Legacy has been a very important part of our son's kindergarten year. He's built confidence, made so many friends and learned skills that translate to the classroom. This gym has a great balance of instruction and fun. The coaches are incredibly patient, taking the time to explain and adjust. We are very pleased with Legacy BJJ. Our two younger boys are very excited to start training as well.
Thanks for your feedback April, we are lucky to have the Tassani family with us.
Fantastic experience: This is a wonderful sports facility, our daughter is thrilled. We highly recommend to everyone!
Thank you for leaving a review! We are so glad to hear that Zlata is having such a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: So thankful to have found this place! They are so welcoming and have really helped boost my son’s confidence as well as giving him a great workout. I can’t say enough good things and highly recommend them to people of all ages and abilities.
Thank you so much for your sweet words! They are so meaningful to us. We are so happy to hear Brody is having such a positive experience!
Fantastic experience: Our family has recently relocated from Las Vegas I searched the area for new Bjj gyms for my son who has been training for two years. Legacy stood out from all the others in our area and when we tried our free class we immediately knew this would be our new home. We came from a less organized/disciplined gym when it came to the littles, they were great in their own way. But we just knew we were looking for more when it came to our new gym. Legacy is the perfect fit for my son he is 100x better in class here at legacy he listens, pays attention, and actually tries, he has put in the most effort I’ve seen him do in the two previous years he’s trained. He looks forward to Bjj everyday and tries to be the best he can be in every class. He is definitely a social butterfly and loves to talk so class is helping him learn how to understand play time vs time to put in work. And to top it off I tried their ladies night and LOVED it! I’m looking forward to starting my Bjj journey soon too! So grateful for our new Bjj home, would recommend to everyone.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We love hearing about how BJJ has made a difference in your son's life, and we look forward to being a part of the rest of his journey! Thank you for being an amazing part of our community!
Fantastic experience: Legacy Jiujitsu is an absolute gem of a gym, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! My two older sons have been rolling on those mats for over three years, and my youngest jumped into the fun six months ago—talk about a family affair! The gym is run like a well-oiled machine. The professors are top-notch. What really sets Legacy apart is the warm, family vibe. Whether it’s my boys learning new techniques or just soaking up the camaraderie, this place has become our second home. Five stars all the way!
Thank you for leaving such a thoughtful review! We appreciate your family so much and are so happy to have you all as partners in our wonderful community. We value your opinion and friendship so much!
Fantastic experience: Our two young children (4 & 6) go here. The teachers are great with the kiddos, and the staff goes above and beyond (I.e. taking videos when our kids get awards and sending it).
Thank you for sharing! We are so grateful to hear that your sweet family is enjoying an extraordinary experience with us!
Fantastic experience: Been training here for the last 6 months. Great instructors and great people to roll with. Highly recommended if you are interested in getting into Brazilian jiu-jitsu
Thank you for supporting our small business and becoming such an incredible member of our community!
Fantastic experience: My 7 year old daughter loves coming here. It’s a wonderful environment! Highly recommend their coaches and the school overall!
Thank you so much for your positive review! We love helping Brooklyn through her jiu jitsu journey!
Fantastic experience: We brought our son (4) here for a trial class and fell in love with the place right away. The facility is always super clean. The coaches (Coach Billy, Coach Roger, Coach Vince and Coach Matt) are very patient and kind to the kids but at the same time always communicate clearly and respectfully, and are actively engaged with the kids at all times. They are instilling discipline and a resilient mindset in kids. The manager, Marissa, is always on top on things and very attentive. She makes everybody feel welcome. My son goes almost every day and is always happy to be there, training and making new friends. We can tell he is making progress day by day and getting stronger with each training. We are grateful to have found Legacy on our first try, and look forward to the many years to come.
Thank you so much for your sweet words! We appreciate your little family so much and are so grateful to hear you are having a positive experience.
Fantastic experience: I decided to drop in for a class on Friday. Professor Billy and everyone training were super welcoming. The Prof ran a great class. Fast paced but with attention to detail. I would recommend it to anyone living near Allen or visiting.
We are so happy to hear you had a wonderful experience with us! We'll be happy to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: We love Legacy BJJ my girls have grown stronger and have built more confidence, Billy and Matt are awesome and really coach well and have fun with the kids!
Thank you for leaving a review! We love having your girls in class and are so happy to be a part of their jiu jitsu journey!
Fantastic experience: The place is grate, the atmosphere also and the coach is super professional and a competitor, I felt like home, so if your in Allen Texas and want to train you should come to legacy jiujitsu
Thank you so much for dropping in to train with us Omar! We are so glad you enjoyed your visit, and we hope to have you again in the future with you return to the area!
Fantastic experience: Great coaching from all the professors at the facility. The discipline with the kids and the way they are able to manage the massive classes is top notch. The adults go and no class is exceptional. Professor Ricardo is a great teacher and very detailed in his technique. However, the kids classes are very big and the lack of no gi days is a factor for me but other than this, it’s Avery good gym with a great atmosphere.
Thank you for sharing! We are so grateful to hear you are having a positive experience. We hear you on the class sizes and no gi days and are working on some solutions. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My son (9) and I have trained here for over two years now. From our very first class, our experiences have been incredibly consistent. The gym is always clean, we get great instruction, and challenging training. The gym culture is very friendly and respectful. I highly recommend BJJ and especially Legacy if you live in and around Allen, TX.
Thanks Andrew for being part of this.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Jiu Jitsu Legacy for a while now, and I have to say, it’s a total game-changer for my training sessions and overall lifestyle. The community here is incredibly friendly and welcoming, which makes every class something to look forward to. The quality of coaching is top-notch. The instructors are highly skilled and genuinely invested in helping every student grow, regardless of experience level. They not only teach the techniques but also explain the philosophy behind Jiu Jitsu, which has deepened my understanding of how this martial art can positively impact my life both on and off the mats. Highly recommend this place!
Fantastic experience: I’ve wanted to try jiu-jitsu for a long time, and I’m so glad I found Legacy. From the moment I walked in, they were incredibly welcoming. It’s become a family experience, as both my kids and I joined the Legacy jiu-jitsu family. The atmosphere is fantastic, and we’re all learning so much while having a great time. The cardio workout from jiu-jitsu is unmatched, it’s so much more intense and rewarding than anything I’ve done at the gym or running ❤️ Highly recommend Legacy to anyone considering jiu-jitsu! My kids and I love this place!
We are so happy to hear that you and your family have found a love of BJJ at Legacy. Thank you for supporting our small business and being such incredible members of our community. We can't wait to share with the rest of the team!
Fantastic experience: If your looking for the real deal this it, awsome place to train, or just break a swaet ill be back.

Thank you so much, bro! This means a lot to our team.
Fantastic experience: Legacy BJJ is a community of people that are both willing to push you to get better on and off the mat. The professors are eager to help you in your Ju jutsu journey.
Thank you so much, Jim! This is exactly what our goal is. Oss!
Fantastic experience: this gym accommodates all levels and welcomed me as a beginner. This gym has very skilled and knowledgeable professors that explain everything well and in detail for me, which is good because I came in with little to no experience. I highly recommend this gym!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Matt! We are so happy to hear you are enjoying your time with us and are growing in your skills. Oss!
Fantastic experience: I’m new to Texas and BJJ, but knew I found a great place from the minute I walked in. The people are welcoming, regardless of what belt they wear. The facility is clean and well cared for. I’ve worked with 3 Professors in my short time here and each one of them is knowledgeable. As a parent of young kids, having a variety of days & times to attend class is important and the schedule at Legacy is very accommodating. I would highly recommend Legacy and look forward to continuing my training here.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review us, Dan! We are so happy you and your family found us. It's members like you that make Legacy so great.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Legacy for about a month now. It’s been 100% one of the best experiences I’ve had with a BJJ gym. I can’t recommend them enough. If you’re on the fence of coming in to try a class, you should. You won’t regret it. The coaches/professors are all great people as well as the other students. Great atmosphere!!
Rob! You're the best. We can't thank you enough for reviewing your experience.
Fantastic experience: This is our third BJJ school and without a doubt it is the best. Professor Ricardo, Billy, Rojerio are incredible instructors. The kid's class is top notch with great balance of warmups, instructions, and sparing. My kid improved significantly within a short time and he made a lot of friends. He looks forward to every class everyday.
To hear that your son is not only improving but is loving BJJ is what it's all about to us. Thank you for taking the time to review us.
Fantastic experience: I can not recommend Legacy enough! The staff is outstanding and very friendly. They are very open to beginners and the gym has a great family environment. I have been training here for years and so has my youngest daughter.
Tks Doc “Kimura”Matt
Fantastic experience: I've been training at Legacy BJJ for several years and can confidently say it's one of the best gyms around. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the community is supportive, which makes it a great place for practitioners of all levels. I've experienced firsthand the level of expertise and dedication the instructors bring to the mats. They focus on both the technical aspects of jiu jitsu and the individual growth of each student. The facility is well-maintained, with plenty of mat space, and there's a strong emphasis on safety and respect. Whether you're just starting out or looking to improve your game, this is the place to be. Legacy BJJ has played a huge part in my development, both as a martial artist and an individual, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Brazilian jiu jitsu and overall fitness.
Julio! Wow - we can't thank you enough. It's our members like you that make the community what it is. Thank you for training with us and trusting us. Oss!
Fantastic experience: Amazing gym. Did a drop in and was met with such hospitality and amazing rounds. If you don’t have a gym and are looking I’d definitely say check out Legacy. Could definitely find a home here
Much appreciated sir! Come back more often.
Fantastic experience: Could not have met a better group of men and women to train with! If you are in the area do not hesitate to join this facility! One of the nicest cleanest facilities I have had the honor of training in!
Can't thank you enough!
Fantastic experience: First class today and what a joy, great gym culture. Everyone was there to learn and help each other get better. No big egos anywhere to be seen. Good mix of experience in the practitioners as well. Watched the kids class before the adult class and I have to say I was impressed. It's was clear that the level of jiu-jitsu on display by all ages was technically sound from attacks to technical correct defenses and excellent positional awareness. All the kids were smiling and having a great time as well. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, adult or looking for a child, this is a great gym.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review your experience! It means a lot to our small business. Oss!
Fantastic experience: Visited from out of town on a business trip. These guys were very welcoming and friendly with good rolling etiquette and hygiene, serious good vibes. It was also the cleanest gym I’ve ever seen! Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for the kind words. We're so glad you stopped by to train and look forward to hosting you the next time you are in town. Oss!
Fantastic experience: I have started training the Legacy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in the last few weeks. My experience so far is excellent: the place is very clean, everyone is super friendly and the instructors are very knowledgeable and respectful. Absolutely recommend the place for anyone.
Fantastic experience: I've been training at this gym for a year and a half, and it's been an incredible experience. The community here is welcoming and safe, making it a great place to learn and grow. The jiu-jitsu instruction is top-notch, with a strong emphasis on both technique and safety. The training partners are some of the best you'll find—supportive, skilled, and always pushing you to improve. If you're looking for a place to train, I can't recommend this gym enough!
Renato - your kind words mean so much coming from you. Thank you for trusting us with your training. It's an honor to see you learn and grow!
Fantastic experience: Legacy BJJ has created an amazing atmosphere and culture for all levels of BJJ students. My son and I signed up together. Both with zero experience and it has been the best possible thing my wife and I could’ve decided on. The coaches are fantastic with the younger kids. Keeping them engaged and constantly learning from the ground up. I go 2 times a week and the growth I’ve seen has been amazing. Highly suggest this gym to any and all people!
Thank you so much, Keaton! We are thrilled to hear you guys are having a great experience with us and we look forward to sharing this review with our coaches. Thanks for being a member of our community!
Fantastic experience: I am in town for the week for work and wanted to find a place to train. I called and they welcomed me in and gave me directions. We did some technique and about 45 minutes of live training. Everyone at the gym was welcoming and had some great rounds and learned a lot too. Legacy is the place to train if you are in the area, I will be back.
Thanks for joining us, Greg! We love hosting out of town guests and hope you will train with us again some day soon.
Fantastic experience: Great training, coaching, and people. Family atmosphere where everyone is welcomed.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Tyler! So glad your experience with us has been positive.
Fantastic experience: My daughter enjoys coming to this gym. She has learned so much about personal strength and control. Not just while at class, but also applying this principles to life.
Tina, we appreciate your support so much. Thank you for trusting us with your daughter. The lessons learned on the mat transfer off the mat as well - we love being part of the journey!
Fantastic experience: Space was exceptionally clean!! Professors were very knowledgeable and kind! Other students had great etiquette and very welcoming! Will be back next time in town for great training!
Thanks Dylan! We'll see you next time!

Fantastic experience: I am an adult beginner, and Legacy BJJ is a really great gym. Professor Billy and Ricardo are great instructors and mentors. They are very mindful of beginners and walk alongside you making sure that you understand and practice what was taught in class. What is also an added plus is an intangible that I want to highlight, which is the culture and community at Legacy BJJ. Legacy BJJ is a family, and I’m really grateful for the patience and extra help I get from more advanced students. It really feels like we’re all supporting each other while also pushing each other to grow, and this really enhances the learning experience. I find myself having more confidence while remaining the posture of humility each time I walk in and out of my classes. I can tell that Professor Billy and Ricardo and the rest of the staff work hard to build that culture. This is what keeps me committed as an adult beginner, and I highly recommend Legacy BJJ for those who want to learn BJJ!
Eugene your kind feedback means a lot to us,Tks for being part of our gym.
Fantastic experience: Whole family started training about 9 months ago and we love it. Very family friendly and also great instruction. It's also helped me drop 20 lbs as well as make some new friends. Would recommend anyone who's thought about it drop in and try it out no matter your fitness or skill level.
John tks for the review, you are a great exemple to us!
Fantastic experience: Legacy is an outstanding BJJ facility that I've frequented three times during work trips to town, and it consistently impresses me. Coach Adam and Professor Billy are exceptionally knowledgeable and always welcoming. The facility itself is impeccably clean and well-maintained, providing a great atmosphere for training. The community of practitioners are friendly and enjoyable to train with, devoid of any ego issues. My family and I are contemplating a move back to Texas from Georgia, and my positive experiences at Legacy have influenced our house-hunting process, prioritizing proximity to their facility. It doesn't get much better than that.
Cory, man, wow! Thank you so much for this review. It really helps us with growing our community and we can't thank you enough. To think our gym is something you're considering when planning a move is about the nicest thing we've ever heard. Our doors are always open to you and we hope we will be seeing much more of you!
Fantastic experience: Great place to come learn self defense and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The academy is clean, organized and efficient. Come train and bring a friend.
Thank you so much! And we agree - come train and bring a friend!
Fantastic experience: Clean mats, skilled practicioners, and a nice facility in a nice area. The people were welcoming and respectful, plenty of different levels of practitioners from white belt to black belt. I would recommend this gym to beginners and experienced grapplers.
Thank you, John. We appreciate your recommendation and thanks for the kind words about our facility. Oss!
Fantastic experience: This is an awesome Jiu Jitsu place that my 12 year old loves. Coaches are great in how they instruct and guide him. I so like it especially about the discipline and teaching about respect.. Family friendly..

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best decisions I’ve made for my son. We tried many BJJ places before we decided to try this place and I am so glad we did it. My son learned not only skills but confident, respect, and discipline. As a mom I can’t stop myself checking how clean the gym is and this place passed my test from day one and never failed over a year! I thank all coaches and always amazed how quickly they all remember everyone’s name and make sure they feel connected and comfortable. This place is the GOAT!!!
Wow - we can't thank you enough for the kind words. Our coaches are the best in BJJ and we strive every day to keep our facility spotless and get to know each and every one of our students on a personal level. It feels so good to know that our efforts are working for your family and we can't wait to see how your son continue to progresses!
Fantastic experience: Since switching my 6-year-old son to this jiujitsu gym, I have been thoroughly impressed. The place is super clean.The instructors here are great. They not only teach martial arts skills but also emphasize the importance of respect, discipline, and confidence. My son's growth in these areas has been truly impressive since joining. My son recently won gold in the JiuJitsu World League, a testament to the effectiveness of the training program. Overall, I highly recommend this jiujitsu place for parents looking to instill discipline, confidence, and martial arts skills in their children.
Thank you so much for reviewing your time at Legacy! It means a lot to know our efforts to keep the gym clean, safe and a place for all to learn and grow are working. Thank you for trusting us with your son - we are so proud of him and can't wait to see what else he achieves.
Fantastic experience: We are a kind of family at Legacy BJJ. I really appreciate all the Professors, the classes are always amazing.

Fantastic experience: I nanny for two boys that goes to this place I love the staff and the leaders they show the kids ways to defend themselves while also knowing respect for one another. I love how they make sure every kid does the best at everything they do. The boys love coming here to make new friends and learning new skills.
Thank you so much for the awesome review! We can't thank you enough for the kind words and giving our small business this recommendation.
Fantastic experience: We love legacy! We had done a few trials at other places and finally went with legacy. They do a great job with my little one. He started almost a year ago when he was about 5. It’s amazing to see how well they manage such a big group of little ones. I love the discipline they instill amongst the kids too! The teachers are professional and try their best to interact with all the children and parents! Hope my son enjoys it enough to continue with it!
Thank you so much, Shini! It's amazing to see how quickly they learn - even at just 5. We are so thankful to you for trusting us with your family.
Fantastic experience: My 7yo son has been learning and practicing here for several months. He likes that they teach self defense, discipline and respect. We appreciate the friendly staff, the patient Masters and the bright, clean environment. A+
Thank you so much for the incredible review. We try our hardest to make the gym a clean and welcoming place for all to train. Thank you for trusting us with your family!
Fantastic experience: We started classes here several weeks ago for our 5 y/o son. He absolutely loves coming. It's well structured, coaches are very involved and provide excellent supervision of the kids, and we've been extremely pleased with the experience. We love watching the class.
Colby, thank you so much for being members of Legacy and the kind review. We try our best to keep classes organized and impactful for every age and your words really mean a lot to us. Thank you for being members!
Fantastic experience: Stayed in Allen for 3 days for a convention and was able to stop in for some classes. Billy was an amazing coach and taught a very well structured class. All of my training partners were very skilled and we had some great rolling sessions at the end of class. We definitely recommend to anyone looking for a quality school! And if you're visiting the area this is a great place to get in some training while travelling.
Thanks so much Ryan! Our doors are always open to whenever you’re in Allen. We’ll pass the pass this on to Professor Billy!!!
Fantastic experience: Great place to start for first timers. The staff/members were welcoming and willing to teach.
Thanks so much, Josh! We love to hear that we are doing the right things to make everyone feel welcome!
Fantastic experience: Excellent culture and a clean facility. Ive never been to a bjj only gym before, but this seems like the place to be. Coach Ricardo was very welcoming and has a devastating knee on belly. Legacy rocks!
Thanks so much for the awesome review, Max! Our community is everything to us. Glad you had a great experience - and yes, Professor Ricardo is the GOAT of knee on belly!
Fantastic experience: I train at another gym but dropped at Legacy to visit some of my friends who train there , the facility is top notch very clean and organized , professor Ricardo is a legit top class black belt that pushes his students to better themselves . I would certainly checking out Legacy if you happen to be in the area .
Thank for the kind words and for joining us at Legacy! We take great pride in our facility and do our best to make it the cleanest gym in the area. Come back any time, Mo!
Fantastic experience: This place is great , my son Eli has been going here for about 2 months and has grown tremendously. He was doing karate before and did not enjoy it but with Legacy BJJ they are teaching him that everything is earned and nothing is given and skills for life. Ricardo, Billy, and the rest of the coaches are great!
Our coaches work so hard to make sure each class is impactful and we are so happy to hear Eli is both enjoying and learning some valuable skills. It's an honor to be trusted with your family.
Fantastic experience: Legacy Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the best place for kids to gain confidence and skill they will use in the future. Coaches have a great mentoring attitude and want the kids to do their best. Great place for your kids to be pushed and great place for them to make friends.
We are so glad your family is enjoying Legacy and learning some life skills. That's what it's all about! Thank you so much for being members!
Fantastic experience: My two boys were struggling in BJJ with another school and lost confidence in themselves. I decided to enroll my boys in a few trial classes at Legacy BJJ and witnessed the level of training and discipline instilled in these kids. My sons were both grey belts and the white belts at Legacy BJJ were far more superior in their level of training and skillset. Transferring to Legacy BJJ was the best thing for my boys. Not only has their BJJ skills improved, but their level of confidence on the mat has improved immensely. So confident, they both wanted to compete in the 2024 Jiu Jitsu World League and both earned silver medals. I can't say enough good things about Prof Ricardo, Prof Rogerio, Prof Billy, and Coach Matt & Vince. They're all truly passionate about not only teaching BJJ, but instilling discipline and life skills to all the kids in their program. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks David for the review, and is very satisfactory seeing your kids improving and becoming more confident.
Fantastic experience: I waited over a year to post a review so I could give an honest assessment of this gym after time. I can officially say with confidence that this is one of the best gyms around. The professors and coaches have everyone’s best interest at heart. I have felt welcome here since day one. The instruction is superb and the professors and coaches have true integrity. I recommend Legacy 100%.
Thank you, Laura! You have made such an impact in our community and we feel so grateful that you are with us. It's members like you that make Legacy the amazing place it is. Oss!

Fantastic experience: I went to Legacy BJJ for about three months during the summer while I was off. Having ~7 years experience with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, I can confidently say this gym has one of the best atmospheres. The coaches are all understanding, the classes will make you work, and there are many talented practitioners. I would highly recommend it to beginners and more experienced people alike. Thanks for the experience you guys!
