"We don’t teach karate, we teach people." - Henry Calantog
Most people sign up for martial arts for self defense, myself and my family included. I quickly realized there is much more to it, especially for kids. They learn how to set and achieve goals, along with valuable life skills, such as respect, honesty, and of course, self defense. Owner and chief instructor, Master C, is a gifted teacher and motivator, and remains one of my favorite people on this earth. Sign yourself and your kids up, you will be glad you did.
Master C and his instructors are all top notch! Master C and his family have created an exceptionally fun, positive, and energetic environment which builds confidence in our children with an equal focus on mental and physical strength. My son and daughter love coming to Legacy and are incredibly motivated to improve themselves both inside and outside of the dojo as a result of coming here.
Thank you Master C and your wonderful instructors - I wish I were a child in this program!
My son has been going to Kenpo Martial Arts with Legacy and Master C for the past 9 years (he started when he was 5 years old). While my son is not always the perfect student, Master C has always been the perfect instructor. I have total faith in him. I know there are a lot of different options available when it comes to karate/martial arts ... I can 100% promise you that no instructor will earn your trust to the extent Master C will. 5 stars year after year after year ...
