I was a mid 40's guy struggling to stay motivated about keeping fit, when I happened upon Legacy in Claremont. Watching the instructor work with his students I became intrigued, I had often thought about some form of martial arts, but the "fast food/24 hour fitness" feeling of the studios kept me from pursuing anything. I agreed to come to a trial class, and now, a few weeks later I am a die hard. Already I am stronger, I have more stamina and best of all, I am motivated to keep at it. There are a couple of key reasons this class is special (i think, anyway). The first is the discipline itself, Kali is long on effectiveness and very short on formality and dogma. If you are a black belt in judo, and have a confrontation with a high school JV wrestler, there's a good chance he'll take you, if you are a Kali guy, you can not only counter his takedown, but have him blubbering for mercy while you control him with one hand and finish you're beer with the other. The best thing about Legacy though, is the instructor. Jason won't demand your respect, but he will get it very quickly, because he really, really knows what he's doing, and he knows how to teach it. It's obvious he lives and breathes this stuff, and wants to share his passion with others. Lucky us. Highly recommended!
