Legacy Glendale Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Legacy Glendale Brazilian Jiu Jitsu was founded on the belief that the lessons learned through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu reach far beyond the mats. The academy’s mission is to guide students not only in technical skill, but also in building confidence, discipline, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be a martial artist. Owners Anthony Cruz and Alberto Crane emphasize that every student—regardless of age or background—has the potential to thrive both on and off the mat with the right support and guidance. Classes at Legacy Glendale are structured to serve a wide range of students. The academy offers fundamentals, advanced, and no-gi BJJ classes, allowing beginners to develop a strong base while giving experienced practitioners space to refine their technique and strategy. Kids’ classes are a priority, with a program designed to foster teamwork, respect, and anti-bullying skills in a safe setting. Women’s BJJ is also featured, providing a focused environment for self-defense and fitness. In addition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Legacy Glendale includes Bang Muay Thai, TACFIT, and Kettlebell-based fitness classes, reflecting a holistic approach to martial arts training. Legacy Glendale is also active in the local education scene, working as an approved vendor for select charter schools and accepting enrichment funds. This partnership opens the door for more children and families to experience the benefits of BJJ as part of their school curriculum. The academy is wheelchair accessible and welcomes students from all walks of life to join in the journey of personal growth and martial arts.
