A Summer Camp Legacy

A Summer Camp Legacy

#ItsaLEGACYmmaSummer has been that ray of sunshine we all so desperately needed. For us, it speaks to our name. The word “legacy” means to leave something learned for others. Summer 2020 is leaving a legacy. We learned are resilient and fierce. A pandemic can’t keep us from having fun. We learned to be more careful and sanitize more often. Our campers were made more aware good hygiene and how critical it is to wash our hands. And let’s face it, this is a lesson that we can remind them of all year. We learned to be content with the present and that worrying about tomorrow doesn’t make tomorrow any easier.

So here we are. We’ve made it to the last week and half of Summer break. We’ve so loved getting to know your kiddos. We sincerely love them all and are so thankful you have given us the privilege of loving on them this summer. Here’s what we have planned for rest of the Summer.

You’ve got options for digital learning and after school!

We know that the strain of being forced to go the digital learning route can be for some of our parents. That’s why we’re opening all three of our facilities (North Gwinnett, Buford, and Braselton) for digital learning. For $149/week isn’t a bad deal.

• Drop off as early as 6:30 am and pickup as late as 6:30 pm.

• Kids participate in digital learning with their classes. Just bring digital devices, chargers, and headphones.

• Karate included. Kids even get a free uniform.

• Recess and playtime will allow kids to burn off energy and socialize with friends.

Lunch is not provided so please make sure to pack a lunch and snacks along with plenty of water.

After School Karate

For those who are doing digital learning at home, you have the option to bring your kiddo to one of our locations once class is over to participate in our after school karate program. For those going to school for in-person instruction, we’ll pick up your student and bring them back to our location. For $70/week, you get after school care plus karate. For parents doing the digital learning route, you get a break and your kids get to socialize and burn off energy while continuing their karate training.  

We are also offering karate classes by themselves. For $129/month, you have the option of in-person or zoom.  You will come to class at the designated time each belt level. To register, call 78-541-5254.

While Summer ends, we start fresh with another school year. We know that students will thrive in school and on the mat.

Back to School 2020-2021 Options

Back to School 2020-2021 Options

It’s safe to say that this school year will be unlike any other we’ve ever experienced. While some of us hoped to send our students back to school even with the option for digital learning, school districts have made decisions and now we have to accept that leadership and do our best to navigate. As of now, we know that Gwinnett County Public Schools will start the school year with 100% virtual learning while Hall County, Bartow County, and Jefferson County schools will offer both in-person and digital/distance learning.

We understand the anxieties and frustration of the current climate and want to reassure all of our families that Legacy MMA is here to support whatever decisions you make.  We know that digital learning, while safe can limit physical activity that promotes focus and uses that energy we envy so much from our children. We know that being home isolated from other students during the school day impacts socialization. That is why we’ve decided to support families all over Gwinnett, Hall, Bartow, and Jefferson counties in Georgia with these options.

Digital Learning Camp

We are offering digital learning at all three of our locations (Sugar Hill, Buford, and Braselton).  Students will be assigned to small groups based on grade level and will be assisted in participating and completing course work. All students need to bring their digital devices (chargers too), headphones, lunch, snacks, and a bottle of water. 

For $149/week per child ($139/week for each additional child), you get digital learning camp plus karate after school.  We’re structuring our days so it feels like a school day. Your students will get recess and breaks to allow them to be physically active and use up all their stored energy.

Space is limited so make sure to register. 

After School Program

Legacy MMA is still offering our after school program but slightly differently. For those attending in-person instruction at our schools in Jefferson, Bartow, and Hall County schools, we will pick up students.

For those who are doing digital learning but would like your student to still participate in our after school karate curriculum, you are welcome to drop off your student at one of our locations after 2 pm.  This is a good idea if you want to make sure your students get socialization and physical activity for the day. And parents, let’s be real. You also need a break to work or do whatever else you need.

For $70/week per student ($60/week for each additional child), your student can play with friends and participate in class until 6:30 pm. Karate uniforms for new students will also be provided. It’s a pretty good deal. Register here.

Karate Classes

For families interested in karate only classes, we’ve got two options for you—in-person and Zoom Karate.  For $129/month, you come to class at the designated time for your student’s belt level and participate in class.

In-Person Karate
Karate students come to one of our locations.

Zoom Karate
If you feel more comfortable with digital karate, this is an option just for you. Once you register, you’ll be sent a link with the meeting code and password to participate at the designated time for your student’s belt level.

To register for either karate only or Zoom Karate, Call 678-541-5254 or email: Legacy MMA Club legacymmaclub@gmail.com.

2020-2021 Braselton After School Karate Program Update

2020-2021 Braselton After School Karate Program Update

We love the communities we serve. The families that come to Legacy MMA Club for summer camp and after school karate become family to us. When there is a need, we do our best to serve. Here’s what we know. COVID-19 is impacting all of us. We’ve changed our policies and cleaning procedures to meet guidelines to keep our staff and students safe. That being said, we’ve heard from our parents and we’re making changes to the Legacy MMA Braselton location.

Digital Learning Camp in Braselton, GA

Many of our parents are essential workers and need to physically report to work. At the same time, some parents don’t feel comfortable sending their children to in-person instruction. For that reason, we’re going to extend digital learning camp at our Braselton location. Tuition is $149/week per child.

Students must bring digital learning devices (chargers too). We also recommend headphones so students can participate in live lessons without disturbing other students. Your children will complete instruction activities.

Register for Braselton Digital Learning Camp.

Like summer camp, students need to bring their lunch and snacks along with a bottle of water. Please don’t send juice. Spills are extra messy.

Before School Care for Braselton area schools

Legacy MMA is extending our before care to meet the needs of our parents who need to be at work early. Students can be dropped off as early as 6:30 am. Students can bring breakfast if they need to. We will transport students to school.

If students are enrolled in our after school karate program, tuition for before school care is $35/ week per student. Before school care only is $50/week.

Register for Before School Care

After School Karate for Braselton and Surrounding Area

We’re super excited to have some of our first year after schoolers back. We’re also looking forward to growing the Legacy MMA family. $70/week includes transportation from school, a uniform, and daily classes. Pick up by 6:30 pm.

Providing Comfort During Uncertain Times through #ItsALegacyMMASummer

Providing Comfort During Uncertain Times through #ItsALegacyMMASummer

There is comfort in knowing. Let’s face it, mom and dad. 2020 has thrown us some curves and while we have the experience to navigate those tough moments, this is all brand new for our children. This week, our campers will take comfort in what they know. They know fun. They know they’re safe. They know the field trips. While we may have a surprise this week, it will be surrounded by what they know so they’re comfortable.

Monday, July 13, 2020- Stars and Strikes

Mondays have been all about Stars and Strikes. Campers love video games and comfort today brings because it’s guaranteed fun!

Tuesday, July 14, 2020—Sparkles Family Fun Center

We’ve added a new local spot for our campers to have fun. Sparkles Family Fun Center in Lawrenceville is perfect for campers (and families) of all ages. There is an indoor playground for younger kids along with skating and laser tag for older kids.

Wednesday, July 15, 2020 Billy Beez

Pro-tip for today, mom and dad—send your campers wearing their Billy Beez socks. It means they won’t have to wait around to get their socks. AKA—they’ll get more time to play.

Thursday, July 16, 2020 Skate Country

Campers love skating, of course! But some of our campers (especially our boys) love playing arcade games too! A few extra bucks adds to the fun of today. No matter what they decide to do, we’re just glad they’re having fun!

 Friday, July 17, 2020 Water Day!

Send those towels and an extra change of clothes! Your children will be getting really wet. With all this heat we’re experiencing, it’s much needed!

After School Karate Helps Kids Process Change

We are very aware of the trauma sudden change an bring to children. We have all experienced COVID-19 and children, while resilient, have a different way of processing what is happening. Our way of life is changing and for them too. We know that sudden change could be on the horizon as we send children back to school in August. Legacy MMA wants to reassure you that your children have a safe place to process trauma. Whether your children talk about it or not, their bodies are impacted by this at a cellular level. One of the ways we’re doing our part is by continuing to offer after school karate at all of our locations.

Our after school karate program teaches mindfulness, self-control, and strength. Mindfulness gives students a moment to pause and be in the moment and feel what they’re feeling. Then they get to release any energy or negativity with karate through punches and kicks. They learn self-control with their movements through our curriculum. Students also learn about their own strengths and build upon them. We love seeing students realize that strength and improve. 

Summer campers get free 2020-21 registration. Rates are still the same-- $65/week which includes pickup at school, uniform, and daily classes.
