Legion MMA

Legion MMA in Phoenix is home to a dedicated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program led by head instructor Austin “Starkiller” Wourms. Austin has been training in martial arts since childhood and holds a black belt under Professor Sadiq Daniels, his long-time coach and mentor. With over a decade of Jiu-Jitsu experience, multiple state titles as an amateur kickboxer, and more than ten professional MMA fights, Austin brings a wealth of practical knowledge to the mats. He is known for his strong submission game and a teaching style that connects competition skills with real-world self-defense. The Jiu-Jitsu classes at Legion are designed for students who want to develop solid grappling fundamentals and learn how to apply techniques both in tournaments and everyday situations. Austin’s approach emphasizes the details that make submissions work and encourages students to understand the “why” behind each movement. The program welcomes adults at all experience levels and includes open mat sessions for those looking to put in extra rounds or work on specific techniques. Beyond Jiu-Jitsu, Legion MMA offers a full slate of striking and MMA classes, as well as a Youth Bully Proof program that mixes conditioning with self-defense fundamentals for kids. The academy is open six days a week, with training blocks throughout the late morning, afternoon, and evening, making it possible for students to fit classes around their schedules. Drop-ins are welcome at open mat sessions, offering a chance for visitors to train alongside the regular crew.
