InstagramWhat an amazing place! The staff here are absolute gems. Thank you Miha for showing me around and making me feel welcome! The open mat is like a giant playground with all your friends! There was a wide spectrum of skills and levels, something for everyone. There were no egos or attitudes, just fun and challenge! The whole area is clean and sanitary with a great water station with ice to refuel during rounds. Highly recommend this place!
Posted 2 years agoDropping in from Bellingham Washington for a week of Nogi and Sloan’s instructions is great. I’ve been training for 5 years and 2 things I look out for at other gyms is cleanliness and if women are training there. Legion knocks both out of the park, it’s a very inviting atmosphere and a tough room!
Posted 2 years agoLegion is a great academy full of noble warriors n killers that will take care of u as mat partners and get after it w/u if u so desire. Gym is clean with acres of mat space!...train here with confidence... Merican Jiu Jitsu!! Long may she burn!
