I've been training for a lil over 7 years now and I've been around a few jiu jitsu academies. I'm very fortunate to have trained under schools that nourish a positive environment and promote growth both on the individual level and of course on the jiu jitsu level. I am very confident and happy to say that I've found that nourishing environment here at Legend Jiu Jitsu of Tacoma (an affiliate of Atos). If you are familiar with top bjj schools then you already should be familiar with the name Atos, as they've produced top ranked world champions. Prof Noa and Prof Vic are two of the most fundamentally sound and technical jiu jitsu black belts that I've ever experienced. You can tell that their style is suitable for everyone and if you are looking to grow your jiu jitsu game or are curious to see what it is all about, these two gentlemen would be the perfect teachers to start you on your journey. Coach Ben, (may look intimidating when you see him) but he is genuinely one of the nicest humans I have ever met. He is also very fundamentally sound and he teaches the morning classes on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. He is a sponge that is capable of absorbing all of what Prof Noa teaches and he is able to re-teach and demonstrate those sound techniques in the morning class. I should say that I am currently a purple belt, and I am confident my jiu jitsu journey and practice will grow exponentially from training here. In addition to a very clean and well groomed facility, all of the students at this academy whether they are white belts to black belts are ego-less and that is what you want in a jiu jitsu school.

After 4 weeks of TKD I dropped about 10lbs, started to regain my balance, and started to feel/look much healthier. All of the students (all belt colors) are very welcoming and you'll see pretty quickly that your belt status doesn't matter socially, it's all about challenging yourself and seeing your own improvements each week. Master Choi and Master Larson are full of knowledge and have answered all of my questions on how to improve flexbility, technique, strength, etc. We need more fun, spirited, energetic adults on the mats, so get in there! Can't wait to meet you.

My child was hugged within a day of attending her first lesson by Lead Master Choi. She gave me a…read morepanicked look, so I explained to him he must first ask her permission to touch or hug her. His hugging and arm/head rubbing felt like a violation to her. Mr. Choi was not my child's instructor while there. Her instructor uses (like other coaches instructors) fist bumps for acknowledgments. On the second incident, I told him he must ask her for permission to receive any kind of affection from her. The very next lesson the Lead Master told my child to hug him, and I was forced to inform him that a command is not asking for permission. He began to ignore her completely, perfectly fine with me. However, I began noticing how this over 6' tall man often pulls many girls and boys in against his body for a hug of affection. I withdrew my child from lessons at this location.

Come in and do one or do them all. Coaches at this club incorporate and blend clean technique, self control, retraining your own body's innate mess of fight response, and most interesting (to me) the cerebral element of human chess. On top of this, there is real team spirit and comradery, every one working to make every other better, no beat downs. Come check it out and make sure to ask for Vulture.

Our primary sources are the manuals and treatises written and illustrated though the auspices of historical masters of the art, such as Fiore de Liberi and the students of the Johannes Liechtenauer tradition. Our focus is predominately on the unarmed and armed system of these Martial Arts developed through the late Middle-Ages in Europe, before the introduction of gunpowder to the field of battle. Our practice concentrates primarily on the unarmored self-defense applications of Longsword, Grappling and Dagger, Staff and Spear, with secondary focuses on Sword and Buckler, Sabre, and Messer, and use of historical training weapons such as Wasters, Dussack and Single-Stick. Practice consists of study of the sources, drills and sparring. For more information, please visit our website: www.sevenswords.us
