Why is a mixed martial arts training centre called Legends you ask? I’ll tell you why – it is because it is owned by none other than Randy Couture and Bas Rutten, two of the biggest names in MMA history. 

These giants of the sport have pooled resources and drawn upon some of the best MMA, kickboxing and grappling talent in Los Angeles to create a brand new facility like no other. 

Los Angeles is a hotbed for MMA, with numerous high profile fight teams and academies all operating in and around the city. Located in Hollywood, Legends assimilated successful nearby gym, the Bomb Squad, inheriting its prolific team of fighters and grapplers to add to its already stacked ranks. UFC heavyweight hopeful Brandon Vera is one person who trains out of Legends MMA, as is Icon Sport champion and all-round character Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller. But Legends is not just a fighter’s gym. They’re open to the public and offer high quality training for all levels and abilities, whether you’re a fighter or just there to get fit. 

A massive selling point for Legends is its list of world-class coaches, many of who are familiars on big MMA events. For example, you want to train MMA and grappling? How about getting on the mats with coaches Randy Couture, Bas Rutten, Jason ‘Mayhem’ Miller, Karo Parisyan or Eddie Bravo? Kickboxing more your thing? No problem, try a session Rob Kaman or Roxy Richardson. Add to those the list of boxing and fitness trainers and you’re spoiled for choice. 

Nearby accommodation can provide for visitors to the city, and special packages with the trainers can be worked out if you are thinking of travelling over for a training holiday.
