Since it opened in 2009, Legacy Martial Arts has included character development and personal growth as part of its program, with life skills and character growth built into the curriculum. The mission statement explains that the program moves beyond martial arts excellence to include character development and personal growth, taught by instructors in a community that wants to see students succeed. Leadership is provided by Jena Bushey, a 6th Degree Black Belt, Tai Chi Black Sash, and Master Certified Instructor, and by Jack Smail, a 5th Degree Black Belt, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt, and Certified Instructor.

Parents and students describe Legacy Martial Arts as friendly and welcoming, with approachable instructors who are serious about what they teach. Testimonials mention that instructors integrate life skills into the curriculum that speak to real world challenges, and that the program includes topics such as what to do when encountering strangers. Families report long-term participation, including children who started in early-age classes and later became black belt candidates, and some describe the school as an “extra family.” One adult Tai Chi student reports starting after a heart attack for low-impact exercise, continuing for four years, and also using Genesis Fitness personal training with exercise and diet recommendations from Master Bushey.
