Our Ethos

The Principles
of Our Training

A Clear Path to Progress

We take the guesswork out of training. Whether you’re a child in our youth series or an adult starting Wrestling or Jiu Jitsu, our technical roadmap ensures you always know how to reach your next Grading.

Confidence & Community

Beyond the techniques, you’ll find a group of people who want you to succeed. We focus on building functional strength and a "no-ego" confidence that stays with you long after you leave the mats.

More Training, Less Admin

Your time is for moving, not for paperwork. Our "No Front Desk" model handles the admin before you arrive, so you can head straight to the mats and get into the session.

"I had the pleasure of attending Legions Open Mat today. Although I am from another club, they welcomed me and made me feel part of their academy/team. Everyone is friendly, hard-working, with good level of skill, especially their stand up. I felt safe and look forward to returning soon. Thank you everyone, especially Dr Coach Amir, Coaches Ibraheem and Daniel!"

"Been coming here since December and I have learnt a lot. This place is the best grappling gym in the whole of London. The coaches always push you to give 100 percent when grappling and help you out when you need it. Every single coach at legion they have decades of experience and know how to teach you. The brotherhood here is amazing I have learnt a lot from them as well. If you want to improve yourself I would recommend booking your trial lesson"
