Legacy Martial Arts Training Center

Master Pesce and his staff are wonderful! I have seen a great sense of pride and accomplishment in my son since he started this class 8 months ago. It’s a perfect balance of discipline, confidence, and respect that is instilled during every training.
Master Pesce’s demeanor is wonderful. My son loves the rewarding feeling he gets after impressing Master Pesce.

Master Pesce and his crew are the best in Orange County! As a child, I took martial arts from my father who was very well known in the OC. I was very particular to who would be training my son. When I met Master Pesce, I knew within 5 minutes of speaking with him that this as the place! I had spoken with about 6 different studios in the area. I hadn’t even seen him in action yet, but how he told me how would help and teach my 6 year old son (at the time), was all I needed. He is simply amazing with children of all types, meaning shy, outgoing, special needs, etc. I can’t say enough about Master Pesce. My son, now almost 12 will be taking his black best test this month. He has become the most honest, respectful kid, and I owe part of that to the Master. Don’t waste your time anywhere else, if you are in Orange County. This is definitely the place to be.

Our two GIRLS have been going to Legacy for over 4 years ! What a fantastic way to build confidence and learn respect. Master Pesce is beyond amazing. This IS the place to go !!!

We have two boys, 5 and 6yo, in their second year here. The instructors and Master are great with the kids and quickly get to know each and every person. They are very structured, but are great at handling the younger kids on those tough days as well. I would definitely recommend to any kids or adults.

My 5-​yr old son started as a Tiny Tiger (3 – 6 yr. old class) about a year ago — our family LOVES Legacy Martial Arts. In a short amount of time, Master Pesce and his team have helped my son to actually be able to control his body and sit still for a minute (quite an achievement for a boy whose nickname is wiggle worm!). The discipline and respect that the kids are taught in Tae Kwon Do is just as important to me as the physical aspect of it. I like the fact that we can still fit in other sports like soccer because Legacy has such a flexible schedule and we can attend when it works best for our family.
I appreciate that Legacy is always very clean and there are plenty of seats for parents to watch. Master Pesce is so wonderful with the kids. He knows just the right mix of fun to keep the kids motivated, yet serious enough to keep them growing during each class in their Tae Kwon Do skills.
I highly recommend Legacy Martial Arts in Tustin, CA.

My kids have been going to Legacy Martial Arts for almost a year now and they love it. They have been making so much progress and I have noticed a BIG improvement regarding their control over their own bodies. They are more confident, they are agile and they love going. My little girl used to be a bit clumsy, stumbling a lot and falling for no reason. I have noticed that this does not happen anymore and I completely attribute this to the martial arts training they have been doing with Master Pesce. Master Pesce also takes care to teach the kids values like honor, respect, discipline, never give up… He really cares about the kids. He is a wonderful teacher and Allie is also wonderful. If you ever considered your kids doing Martial Arts, this is definitely the place.

My kids have been going here for six months now and I am very impressed with their progress. Master Pesce is very patient and interested in the kids. He is also interested in them doing well in school and having good morals and behavior in life not just teaching kid how to hit and kick. My kids are always happy when they are done with a class. Highly recommended for any parent wanting to get their kid interested in something that will help their life.

My son continues to do very well at Legacy. He has reached blue belt, so he is climbing the ladder. More importantly, he is still learning discipline and some of the lessons are sticking.
When he first started almost two years ago, he thought that learning how to kick meant he could kick daddy when he was mad. I told him that he could kick me as hard as he wanted and it would not hurt me. However, he would be in serious trouble if he even tried to kick me.
Well, a couple years later, I no longer think his kicks could not hurt me. He has some serious power. Fortunately, he is also developing the discipline to control his feelings and wisdom to know when he needs to adjust his attitude.
Legacy has been a fantastic place for my son, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to explore tae kwon do.

Master Pesce is awesome with the kids. Lots of tough love here. He can remember each of his student’s names and he has as many as 24 in a single class. I only wish the parents watching their kids would control their other children better and not let them run amock or get too loud while the class in in session. And the class administrator should have better crowd control measures. Like keeping the kids who arrived early for their sessions in a separate waiting area.

Thought it would be fun for the kids for summer. Wow was I surprised.
The kids absolutely love it and have become very well mannered and respectful. Master Pesce is excellent with kids and commands respect from all of them. Recommend checking it out!!!

After checking out a few martial arts studios, we walked in to Legacy a few months ago where we were convinced within the first 10 minutes. Master Pesce immediately connected with our son who couldn’t wait to get started and continues to WANT to go to class as often as possible. Master Pesce is wonderful with the kids, and we are continually impressed with his great pep talks, where he emphasizes self control, discipline, respect, and fun while learning. Not only has our son increased his physical skills and coordination, but his attitude, focus, and self-​motivation have also seen marked improvement. We just can’t say enough nice things about Master Pesce.
Update on 1÷25÷12: our son has already had a chance to apply the ongoing life lessons that he’s learned from Master Pesce. He was able to confidently and peacefully resolve a bullying situation at school by calmly talking to the bully who finally backed down and walked away. His experience at Legacy has helped him to handle difficult situations with courage, confidence and a clear head.

Legacy Martial Arts is a top notch studio, run by a world class martial artist. Master Pesce will influence you and your children in ways you wouldn’t expect, and training here will definitely improve your fitness. You should just try a few free classes to see why so many people love this studio. I’ve gotten in great shape with the kickboxing class in just a month, and he focuses on teaching you how to punch and kick rather than sticking you in front of a bag and simply yelling out combinations.
Master Pesce’s taekwondo knowledge is impeccable and he is also well rounded in Hapkido and BJJ. Just go and meet him. You won’t be disappointed.

Legacy MTC is the place to be in Orange County! My son has been working with Master Pesce and has learned and developed so much. The skills that Master Pesce is teaching the children are priceless. He takes it so much further than just the physical kicking and punching. He is teaching them respect or others, their own bodies, and the world in general. If you are looking for a great place for your entire family to feel like they belong… Legacy Martial Arts Training Center is the place for you! Stop by or call Master Pesce… by meeting him you will simply feel his enthusiasm for life and the Martial Arts.
