Legendary Martial Arts

I am transfer student. I also have four kids enrolled in the program at Legendary. Firstly, I want to say this place is a family environment. Feeling like you belong somewhere is invaluable. When your kids feel that way, it is the ultimate bonus. I enjoy training here with my kids and Mr. Jonathan Thornton takes time with the students. He does not tolerate misbehavior and deals with it swiftly. He also provides a path back to redemption too! My kids range from ages 7 to 16; 2 boys, 2 girls and they all love training at this facility. But, it really is more than just a building. It is a place of acceptance, balance and pride. We all are encouraged to go passed what we believe we can do, but that is because Mr. Thornton believes in you before you believe in yourself. He also fosters an environment of support, camaraderie and hard work. I could not imagine training anywhere else.

Love this place. I was looking for a place for my son and daughter who are both autistic. From the very start Jonathan was completely understanding about everything. When my son has any problems all I do is talk with Jonathan and we come up with a plan on how to fix things. My son loves it here. Since he has started here he has more confidence and a bit more control over his temper. He can’t wait to go and wants to always do his best to impress. When just a few short months ago my son would barely leave the house. I love how this place has helped bring my son out of his shell some. We still have a long road ahead but I know being here is a good start for my son. I want to encourage other parents with autistic children to give this a shot. I know how scary it is just being a parent but to be a parent to children with disabilities is even harder and scarier. But there are ways to help your child and I’m sure this is one of those ways. I also want to say this is not just about how to defend yourself which don’t get me wrong I love that. But it also teaches them respect, honor, control, self confidence, life skills, interaction, and a big one for children with autism is social skills. He’s got better with all of these already.

We love it here! On our first visit in, we were so impressed with how friendly the staff is. They welcome you right off and make you feel at home. My husband and 2 kids are enjoying classes and my daughter just earned her next belt. Lots of families here. Parents taking classes with their children. We feel that the price is reasonable, it’s very family oriented, very positive atmosphere and everyone is friendly and encouraging. Highly recommend!

How do you delight a teenager? You empower him. I enrolled my three youngest in this program and while they are new enough that their uniforms are still crisp white, I am already seeing a difference.
The instructor, Jonathan Thornton, is excellent with kids. He is patient, observant and responsive. New students are quickly integrated into the class activities. This is a program with a place for everyone.
There are classes six days a week. This evening we had an active shooter class where older teens and adults were instructed in disarming an attacker. The students got the program quite easily.
The attendees are varied in age and ability. Care is taken to match partners but there are plenty of opportunities to work with other students.
Krav Maga and Cross Fit are also taught in addition to Tae Kwan Do.

The Owner/​Instructor takes pride in what he does. Martial arts is a great tool for self defense, discipline and building self confidence as well as a fun way to get in shape. Come join. TAEKWONDO for ages 3 and up. Friendly staff.
