Testimonials

Legacy Jiu-jitsu Academy, located in Richland, WA, is dedicated to teaching you and your family the fundamentals of Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Srisuk Muay Thai.

Jay Ayala

For years, my whole family and I have been going to this gym, and it has been amazing. We are all in the Muay Thai program and have moved up through the ranks, making friends who feel like family. The program has really helped us grow in the discipline. The tough training, along with the supportive atmosphere, has taught us dedication and hard work. Our instructors are very knowledgeable and always encourage us to do our best. The gym is always very clean, showing how much the management cares about keeping a safe and healthy place for everyone. Because of this, we can focus on our training without worrying about anything else. For me, the health benefits have been incredible. I have lost over 60 pounds since joining, thanks to the great workouts and constant motivation from the instructors and other members. My family's overall fitness and well-being have gotten so much better, making us stronger and healthier. In short, the Muay Thai gym has become a big part of our lives, giving us a supportive community, helping us grow in the discipline, and improving our health. We highly recommend it to anyone looking to get fit and improve themselves.

Yun Zhang

Our child has been learning BJJ at Legacy BJJ for more than 2 years now. This BJJ academy is very family friendly. The owners and professors/coaches are professional and kind, and they care about safety, sportsmanship, respect, and efforts! I remember vividly the first time at their intraschool tournament, before the start, the professor spoke publicly to all adults present, about the proper conduct to watch a Jiu jitsu match. It’s a great reminder that we respect each other regardless of the outcome. It’s a positive place for children and adults. We highly recommend. In addition to offering high quality martial art classes, the owners have a heart to the community. They routinely fundraise and donate to charities. They provide the space to a FREE women self defense class on Friday nights. I highly recommend any woman (16+) to check it out.

Spencer Mayfield

We signed our boys up at Legacy almost 2 years ago. It was one of the best choices we’ve ever made! We were struggling with our oldest sons ADHD and were looking for a positive outlet. 2 years later and he’s a different kid. He’s found something he’s passionate about. He is driven, focused and he’s made huge strides in every aspect of life. Our younger son has had tremendous growth as well. Both boys have started competing this year and are just obsessed with the sport. The gym and members have become like a second home and family. The coaches and professors are all amazing and professional. The owners are wonderful and really strive to make a difference in the community. The facility is clean. Our kids have all made such strong, positive, lasting friendships. A year ago we signed our oldest daughter up as well and it has made such a fantastic difference in her life. Can’t wait until our baby girl is old enough to start as well, she already has her eye on a pink gi 🩷 since starting I have noticed my kids make such strides in sportsmanship, respect, discipline and self confidence. It’s really such a family friendly place and everyone there really cares about these kids.

Corey Chun

Great Experience for Kids and FamiliesAs a parent, I couldn’t be happier with Legacy Jiu Jitsu in Richland. The coaches are patient, professional, and excellent with kids—they focus on discipline, confidence, and respect just as much as technique. My child feels supported, challenged, and excited to come to class.The gym is clean, well-run, and has a very positive atmosphere. I highly recommend Legacy Jiu Jitsu to any parent looking for a safe, structured, and encouraging place for their child to train.

German Medina

I have been at Legacy Jiu-Jitsu Academy since I began grappling several years ago. The atmosphere and coaching have kept me at this gym since then. I have formed lifelong friendships through this sport and Legacy. I have also brought in coworkers to train, who went on to love the sport.In practice, you will find a solid mixture of experienced grapplers and beginners. The experienced grapplers are more than willing to show the new members the ropes during training and keep them safe during sparring.I highly recommend this gym.

Kat Gorman

It’s not just that the staff is professional and kind or that the classes are geared towards EVERYONE. I’ve never been so scared walking into a business for the first time and been made to feel so completely welcome and comfortable within literal seconds. Walking into Legacy was the best thing I ever did.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Legacy Jiu-Jitsu Academy different from other martial arts gyms in town?Expand

Legacy is built on more than just training — it’s built on people. We combine high-quality Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai instruction with a welcoming, beginner-friendly culture where no one is treated like “just a number.” Our coaches focus on strong fundamentals, safe training, and real personal growth, while still holding high standards for respect, discipline, and sportsmanship. Legacy is family-friendly without being watered down, and we pride ourselves on being a clean, professional academy that supports our members on and off the mats — building confidence, connection, and community service as we create our legacy together.

What do I wear for practice?Expand

Muay Thai:

Wear comfortable workout clothes that you can move freely in—athletic shorts/leggings and a t-shirt or tank are perfect. You’ll want full range of motion for punches, kicks, knees, and movement.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (Gi):

You’ll need a gi (uniform). Members are expected to have their own gi, and we also sell team gis in our pro shop at the gym. If you’re on a trial, we’ll provide a loaner gi.

A gi includes a jacket, reinforced pants, and a belt. We require a rash guard or tight-fitting shirt and spandex/compression shorts under your gi for comfort and hygiene.

No-Gi / Submission Grappling:

No-gi attire is a rash guard and fight shorts/board shorts (no zippers or pockets).

Do you offer a trial before committing to membership? Expand

Absolutely! Our $20 Newcomer Special includes 3 trial classes plus a FREE t-shirt. This gives you the opportunity to experience our training environment, meet our instructors, and see if LJJA is the right fit for you or your family before making a commitment.

Is Legacy Jiu-Jitsu suitable for complete beginners with no martial arts experience? Expand

Definitely! The majority of our students start with zero martial arts experience. Our instructors are skilled at working with beginners and will meet you at your current fitness and skill level. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu was designed for smaller, weaker individuals to defend against larger opponents, making it perfect for anyone regardless of athletic background.

Do you have childcare available?Expand

While we don't offer traditional childcare, we do have a designated area where younger siblings can sit and watch movies or do homework during class. Parents are required to supervise children and keep them from disrupting class. Consider enrolling younger kids (ages 4-7) in our Littles BJJ program!

Do you offer discounts for military or first responders? Expand

Yes! We offer tuition discounts for active military/veterans, law enforcement, and fire department personnel. We also have family membership options. Contact us at 509-438-6955 for specific pricing and to discuss the best plan for your situation.

How should I care for my BJJ gi to keep it clean and lasting longer?Expand

We require that you wash your gi before every class. This helps to prevent infections and makes training much more pleasant for everyone.

  • First wash: wash separately. After that, wash with like colors.
  • Settings: cold water, low/medium spin, normal soil.
  • Drying: air dry only. Avoid the dryer—heat will shrink your gi.
  • Care: don’t iron prints, logos, or patches.

For extra odor and bacteria control, add 1–2 cups of white vinegar to the wash along with your normal detergent, and use a heavy cycle when needed to help fully clean the fabric.

How do I get started?Expand

Getting started is easy:

Claim the intro offer: click “3 Classes & Free Tee!” to sign up for the $20 / 3-class trial (includes a free T-shirt).

Pick a class time: check the Class Schedule and choose the session that fits your age group/program.

Show up and train: come to 1324 Jadwin Ave, Richland, WA 99354 in comfortable workout clothes. During your trial, they’ll loan you the appropriate attire.
