What an epic three weeks of movie fight training under the guidance of @katrinadurden, Watching Katrina work and seeing the transformation of @wellhayley was awesome to see, from hand-to-hand combat to knife and firearms training, Hayley excelled throughout the three weeks at the arch. At Legacy, we believe in continuous improvement and dedication to your craft! 🙏#film #artist #stunts #actor #marvel #martialarts #action #stunttraining #legacy

When @mmashredded visited London and popped into the arch to teach a sparring workshop and I got some rounds in.. 😁

I was delighted to host the man himself, and I couldn’t be more happier with the sparring workshop he delivered. Our students and everyone else that joined, thoroughly enjoyed the session.

Over the years, I’ve sparred with many people, but none have been as enjoyable as this one. His understanding of range was as good as I expected, as I firmly believe that range is crucial in all areas of martial arts!

Shout out to @coachmicahb (flawless technique) &
@herman.mma (relentless pressure & great control)

Thank you for your time & knowledge gentleman!

Jiujitsu is not being better than someone else. It’s about being better than you used to be.

Yesterday our Legacy Jiujitsu students fought at @allstarsbjj London Pro Jiujitsu competition @uelsportsdock For many this was their first competition.
Thanks to all our members and families who came to support; it really meant a lot to me and the fighters.
Progression is at the heart of what we do here. We are so proud of our members’ progress.

Thanks to our Head coach @stevepaynebjj and to Coach @ryannxs for their hard work 🔥🔥

“The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...
... who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
