LEGACY MARTIAL ARTS
A Philosophical Approach to Combat!
Legacy Martial Arts It is the direct prerogative of Legacy Martial Arts to isolate individual arts such as Muay Thai, Filipino Martial Arts, Jun Fan Gung Fu, Boxe Française Savate, Western Boxing etc., from one another, so as not lose the true meaning of martial ‘ART’. Just as a house needs a solid foundation, so does a martial artist need a base from which to measure and relate to all other arts. Legacy Martial Arts is not a mixed martial arts school! Rather, it is a martial arts school placing emphasis on the arts individually, then cross training them; so when necessary, they can flow from one to the next at the level of artistry.
Legacy’s belief is that mixed martial arts should be just that – mixed martial ARTS! If one wishes to cultivate Muay Thai to the level of ART then Muay Thai must be isolated on all levels, from history to culture, and so on. Thus, the same applies to the Filipino Martial Arts, Jun Fan Gung fu, Boxe Française Savate, Western Boxing and any other art one wishes to pursue (i.e. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Sambo, Greco Roman Wrestling, etc.)
Fighting in and out of ranges does not necessarily signify the mixing of martial arts. The use of knees, elbows, round kicks, takedowns, joint submissions, etc. does not mean one is performing Muay Thai or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Instead, one is simply striking and submitting.
