I completed the Krav Pro 6-week challenge and joined the high intensity training program…read moreimmediately. During the challenge, you can chose to attend the self-defense classes if you like at no additional charge. Sticking to the nutritional guide helped me develop better habits; combined with the HIT classes, I honestly couldn't believe the results. What I really like about this gym is that they change up the workouts daily. You'll never repeat the exact same routine twice. And if I'm traveling, I can always come up with something on my own. The instructors are great to work with and understand the importance of being good at motivating people. I've lost over 20lbs in the three months since I joined and look forward to each of the 30-minute sessions I attend 3-4 times every week. And, if $100/month seems a little steep, it keeps me accountable. I paid $10/month for a gym I never visited for years. For about $8/workout, I've been very happy with my results!

The attitude of the instructors and students is reflective of Sifu Francis Fong, who is kind and generous with his teaching. As a life long martial artist I appreciated his amazing skill and speed combined with the ability to demonstrate and teach complex principles incorporating whole body movement, body positioning and timing. If you are serious about learning martial arts and want to train to become your best this school offers training to fully develop your skills. It is rare to have one school offer elite level training in Wing Chun, JKD, Eskrima, Balintawak, Ju Jitsu and more. As a visitor from the west coast I felt instantly welcomed and was matched with someone for my skill level. Anytime I'm back in Atlanta I will be training here.

I love this place!!! My son jumped right in and acclimated so quickly! The Professor and Coaches…read morehave so much patience with him as he has a speech delay and learns best by demonstration.

Great adult MMA program!…read more I was a student of the adult MMA program (only stopped because I moved to mid-town). I love the program Sinsei George runs for adults! Whether you want to get in shape, learn self defense, need a program that reduces stress or all of the above Legacy MMA is a top notch program. It doesn't matter where you are in terms of skill or getting in shape, George knows how to adjust the program to your needs. Make no mistake, however, he also knows how to push you to your absolute limit. If you're just starting out, you'll be impressed with how quickly you progress. If you're fairly confident in the shape you're in, George can challenge/humble you just as quickly! I never knew how long 60 seconds could seem until I took this class. You will get in shape faster than you think, you'll learn practical MMA (whether for self defense or for competition), you will gain confidence and you will have a blast doing it!The fees are among best I've seen in the area. Over the past couple years I've belonged to several gyms... boxing, Krav, circuit, etc... Legacy is the best all-around. George is the real deal. Before joining another martial arts or kickboxing class, you owe it to yourself to meet George and try the program for a few weeks!

We enrolled our son (who was 16 at the time, and has fairly severe Autism) at Legacy about 2 years…read moreago. Sensei George welcomed him in with open arms. He then spent the first several months working with him diligently, while making all sorts of concessions for him during group classes, due to our son's difficulty in understanding conversational speech and his general uncoordination and lack of the overall concept of punching/kicking, etc. We felt so blessed that he was willing to do this for our son! Fast forward to today... our son has progressed to a purple belt and is punching and kicking very effectively and able to do very well in many of the forms and katas that he has learned. We are blown away at what Sensei George has been able to get out of him in such a short time! We love that dojo so much, and think of George as our family. If you're looking for a phenomenal instructor that is highly experienced and has a tremendous passion for the art and a genuine love for the students he teaches, then look no further! You will not be sorry if you choose this dojo!

GENERAL ASSESSMENT Our overall assessment is that Shaolin…read moreInstitute does an amazingly successful job fulfilling its promise as a learning experience for both the body and mind. As we have so far experienced it, Shaolin Institute indeed teaches a "way of life" in which students can experience gratifying physical achievement, whether in Tai Chi or Kung Fu, while also exercising and expanding mindfulness. One of the most appealing aspects of Shaolin Institute is the frequent reference before and after classes regarding how specific cultural, historical, medical, and scientific achievements are directly relevant for learning and appreciating martial arts. TEACHING ASSESSMENT It is impressive that Shaolin Institute exceeds expectations in basically every category used to evaluate teachers. Below are our summaries of Shaolin Institute's multifaceted teaching strengths. CURRICULUM * SI teachers follow the SI curriculum. * SI teachers choose activities for each student relevant to the SI curriculum and each student's level of achievement. * When feasible, SI teachers sometimes helpfully group students together to learn and practice as a group the forms they have previously learned. INSTRUCTION * SI teachers provide direction so that each student knows what to focus on during class. * SI teachers present new forms clearly and logically, and helpfully demonstrate new forms. * SI teachers provide feedback and re-teach forms when necessary. Teachers provide opportunities for students to practice new forms both with and without supervision. MOTIVATION * SI teachers show genuine concern for the students. * SI teachers project a positive, encouraging tone for the classroom experience. * SI teachers establish a level of difficulty, suited for each student's level, which encourages success. SI teachers provide good verbal praise, as well as critique as needed. COMMUNICATION * SI teachers always demonstrate enthusiasm in what they are teaching. * SI teachers explain and demonstrate forms clearly. * SI teachers respond graciously and substantively to questions. EXPECTATIONS * SI teachers communicate expectations to students. * SI teachers listen to students' feedback during class and adjust their teaching pace and content accordingly. * SI teachers encourage students to participate inextracurricular community opportunities, which isimportant for the students' confidence as well as the school's exposure. METHODOLOGY & MATERIALS * SI teachers often vary how they conduct classes, for example by describing the forms, including their origins, applications, etc., and/or by physically demonstrating the forms. Both methods are helpful, especially for students who learn in different ways. * SI teachers sometimes provide supplemental resources, such as video recordings of the classes, which can be exceptionally helpful for students who want to practice at home. EVALUATIVE ACTIVITIES * SI teachers monitor and give feedback on student progressduring each individual class. * SI teachers give oral evaluative comments, as well as sometimes grades or scores. * SI teachers are available for and sometimes proactively create opportunities for one-on-one progress discussions with students. CLASS ENVIRONMENT * SI teachers clearly communicate requirements for attitude and behavior, notably by emphasizing the SI student creed and the rituals of class beginnings and endings. TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTIONS * SI teachers make an effort to know each student as an individual. * SI teachers routinely work to promote positive self-image in students. * SI teachers routinely create a classroom climate in which students are encouraged to grow and assume personal responsibility for their growth. LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR * SI teachers are observed routinely cooperating graciously with their teaching peers, demonstrating authentic respect for one another. * SI teachers are often observed sharing ideas and methods with their fellow teachers. * SI teachers are observed regularly seeking to advance their own growth. This continuing education, observed by the students, is motivating to the students and demonstrates how we are all learning and growing.
