Professor Santos is the best and most talented instructor in Tucson.
Only place I'd go
Very comfortable and clean gym. The coaches are top notch, like really really legit and they’re friendly cool guys too (Santos and Phil). If you’re a jiu jitsu competitor this is the place to be and if you’re a hobbyist this is the place to be, your jiu jitsu will improve like crazy. Training partners are awesome too and they have an awesome spread of white to brown belts, the girls team is on the come up, don’t mess with the legacy girls! I love this place and look forward to every class I can’t recommend it enough
If you’re an active competitor, Olympic level athlete, hobbyist, or brand spanking new to the grappling world, legacy Grappling Academy is the place for you!!! The head instructor breaks down technique like bob ross painting… just simple, clean, crispy technique that makes some of the most beautiful jiujitsu art you’ve ever seen!!!!
I had the pleasure of dropping in on a class at legacy grappling a few weeks ago. Santos and Phil run a top notch academy. You will find clear instruction, tough competitors, and a welcoming environment. Whether you’re new to jiu jitsu or a seasoned competitor you will find what you’re looking for here.
I love the academy and everyone is super positive and not to be biased or anything but you’re in good hands with my brother in law and my older sister :) Two amazing people. You guys would love this environment. Aside from the positive environment, Jiu Jitsu as a whole also has changed my life. You meet so many good people and you will never stop learning.
