Little Legends is our Taekwondo program for 4 and 5 year olds. Short, high-energy classes use games, drills, and simple Taekwondo skills to help young children learn to listen, focus, follow directions, and take turns, all while having a great time with patient black belt instructors. Your first visit is a tour, not a trial class: you and your child watch a Little Legends class together without joining in, so you both know what to expect. Little Legends runs in 8-week terms, and new students start together at the beginning of a term.

Why Kids Love Our Program
Martial arts training gives children far more than physical skills. At Legacy Martial Arts, your child will develop essential life skills that carry into school, friendships, and everything in between.
Young children often have difficulty controlling their movements, which can lead to unintentional accidents and broken items around the house.
Staying on task and following through to completion can feel nearly impossible for young children, especially without the right guidance.
Learning to share, cooperate, and interact positively with other children is a challenge many young kids face as they grow.
Raising Young Kids Is No Easy Task
Kids need to learn discipline, sharing, and self-control to thrive. The right environment provides structure while meeting them where they are developmentally. When learning feels fun, children retain lessons better and build the skills they need to succeed.
Kids in martial arts quickly learn that every movement counts. They focus on controlling their actions and performing at their best.
Through hand-eye coordination training and body awareness, children avoid accidents and develop physical confidence.
Getting kids to concentrate is not always easy. Our martial arts classes use structured routines and achievable tasks to develop focus.
The concentration they build in class carries over to home and school, helping them become better learners and students.
Earning new belts takes effort and patience. Kids often get frustrated when things do not go their way, but martial arts shows them that persistence leads to achievement.
Our classes also provide a healthy outlet for stress and energy in a positive, safe environment.
