Legacy Martial Arts Karate for Kids and Self-Defense Classes in Meridian

  I had never been big on classes of any type until I tried kickboxing. I have been 3 times and the atmosphere is amazing and the instructor is even more amazing. She gives me the self-confidence I had been lacking in a fun yet challenging way. I would recommend to anyone!

  I went to an intro Krav Maga class and loved it. Great cardio work followed by a long session of tactical moves, kicking and striking. I visited a few schools in the Treasure Valley but decided on Legacy because of the instructor and approach. He is honest about teaching you the art of Krav, minus the ego I found at other places. Joined full time!

  Both my girls attend Legacy ATA Marshall arts in Meridian and we drive from Boise because this place cannot be beaten. It has made a difference in their attitudes as well as their grades in school. I also love that they teach self-defense...in this world, we can't be too careful with our precious children. I highly recommend all the instructors here...they are the best.

My daughter loves this school. My son can't wait until he is old enough to join. I love that the kids who have earned their black belts help teach. My kids look up to them and see that they can do it too. It is one thing seeing an adult with their black belt- but seeing kids just a little older then them with black belts keeps them excited and ready to do their best. The energy is amazing every day and every teacher acts like they want to be there.

This place is amazing! My kids have been practicing taekwondo here for almost 2 years. The amount of self confidence they have gained has been huge. The Neitzels teach life and leadership skills in addition to very high quality martial arts programs. The other instructors, Mr. Fuller, Mr. Vong, Mr. Conover, and Miss Martel (and Mr. Putzier when he's in town) are tremendous assets to the Legacy team. I have also taken classes in Krav Maga and kickboxing. Krav is intense, an amazing workout, and very practical. Kickboxing is also a great workout and super fun.

CJ started these classes about 6 months ago and it's beautiful watching his transformation. At just 4 years old he's is showing respect on a daily basis. He takes so much pride in the belts he's earned thus far and he looks up to the junior leaders and Mr & Mrs. Neitzel so much. They are all like mini celebrities in our house. I recommend any parents that need some help getting their kids back in line take them to Legacy ATA Martial Arts. They teach respect and kindness, two things we need more of in this world. Thank you ATA!!

Extremely impressive martial arts school! The instructors are phenomenal. All of them work so well with the kids and they do an outstanding job teaching respect and obedience for their parents and caregivers/teachers. They encourage the kids to excel not only in martial arts but in school and any other parts of their life or activities they participate in, and often times will try to shop up and cheer them on! It's more than just a martial arts school, it's a family!
