We encourage parents to watch their children in their kids martial arts lessons. We love parents getting involved! And so do their kids. Even better… join into some of our martial arts classes for adults. Your kids will love that you have something in common. It will build a strong family bond!

No, our classes are a good mix of boys and girls of all fitness levels. Beginners train alongside some of the more experienced kids, helping each other out in a fun team environment.

We do find that parents who get involved with their kids martial arts lessons, truly build a solid connection as they see their child grow in confidence and skill as they progress through their belt ranks. And building strong family units is important to us at Legacy Martial Arts for our Meridian community.

Absolutely not. Although they will learn cool martial arts and self-defense moves, your child will learn how to AVOID fights, not pick them.

Make sure you wear comfortable clothes you can do sport in! Not really suitable to practice kicks in a skirt. Be sure to bring a water bottle to your martial arts classes. You will find Legacy Martial Arts in Meridian have martial arts classes for kids and adults that are a great workout and lots of fun! Most students are grinning from ear to ear by the end of the class. I am sure you will be too!

A specific part of our preschool and kids martial arts classes at Legacy Martial Arts in Meridian is teaching respect, and teaching when to use their new self defense training and when to NOT use them. We find that our students become more confident to stand up to bullies. And have more humility and kindness to others through their martial arts lessons.

Definitely not! You will get fit, you will burn off unwanted calories, you will find it an awesome stress relief. But BORING, it is NOT! The variety, challenge and the feeling of accomplishment when you master a self defense skill or technique is why students love our Meridian adult martial arts classes at Legacy Martial Arts. But we find it's the friendships and fun that keep students coming back. It's like their second family. Why not find out for yourself. Book in for our limited time offer on this page!

Yes! One of the great things about martial arts classes, is that it's an individual sport, done in a group environment. We find all our students improve in their focus, self control, discipline and social skills. But the best part is…. They don't even realise that is what our highly trained Kids Martial Arts Instructors are actually doing. They just think they are having fun! The best way to find out for yourself, is to take advantage of our limited time offer. You'll find our team so helpful and dedicated to helping your child become the best version of themselves.

Not at all. In fact, many students starting in our adult martial arts classes would describe themselves like that before they started. So you will fit right in! Give yourself some time, and you will be astounded at how much you improve! You'll find that our very experienced martial arts instructors, are trained to keep their teaching simple. So even the most uncoordinated person will develop 'ninja-like' skills! Come see for yourself!

Not at all. You will find that martial arts classes are the PERFECT sport for kids who are not good at sport. Kids martial arts classes really are an individual after school activity, that they do in a group. The journey from white belt to black belt is different for each student. But what is the same…. They improve co-ordination, balance, motor skills, focus and discipline. Plus, they makes lots of great friends! Our Instructors are highly skilled in teaching martial arts for kids. Really… It's their PASSION!

Truthfully, the journey to black belt is an individual one. Everyone can progress at a different pace. There is no judgement on students for how long it does take. What we can tell you, is that it is SO WORTHWHILE! The self defense skills you will master can truly be life-saving! However, the other benefits of striving for black belt, like perseverance, never giving up, commitment and self discipline lead to life-long success. You will find that your Instructors at Legacy Martial Arts Meridian are dedicated to helping you on your journey to black belt or whatever your personal goal may be.

This is probably the BEST kids activity for children who sit a lot! Getting them active, without them realising they are learning, is our skill. Kicking and punching pads is such a great stress relief, that kids blossom in all areas – because of their martial arts training. Many Meridian parents find that once their kids start martial arts classes, they see a happier, more social child develop right before their eyes. You'll be glad they started classes! PLUS…. Most kids LOVE being a ninja!

Our Martial Arts classes' primary goal is to make sure our students have fun in a playful, safe environment. Come and see a class for yourself – the kids have a blast and our instructors do too.
