What do all Legion HQ instructors have in common?
Legion HQ Instructors have frequent meetings to ensure that the highest quality of instruction is being maintained. They will treat everyone with respect and they will never demand to be called Master or ever professor like so BJJ instructors like to roll.
Legion HQ Instructors won’t make you feel bad if you come to class late because traffic was bad on your way from work. They are also required to teach efficiently and based on a common curriculum.
