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.

Summer Shield

Summer Shield

We do our best as parents to shield our kids from the really hard stuff. We may not allow them to be present when we watch the news or block websites that would expose them to things that might rob them of their innocence. It’s a given that childhood is such a precious time. We started this summer with the unknown and despite it all, Legacy MMA has done everything we can to ensure that summer remained fun and carefree. While we implemented precautions to handle our season with COVID-19 and our campers were aware, we wanted to make sure that COVID didn’t overshadow summer. COVID wasn’t the focus; it was an afterthought.

This is the last week of summer break for some of our campers so we’re going to do things that provide a sense of normalcy before they embark on yet another unknown. Our field trips are familiar this week. We don’t want to add any surprises to minimize stress kids feel whether they show it or not.

Here’s what’s on deck for this week.

July 27, 2020—Stars and Strikes

Has your camper asked to go bowling yet? Kids are loving the arcade games, but we’re seeing them eye activities they can’t do while we’re there. 

July 28, 2020—Billy Beez

This was a new addition to our field trip lineup this year, and our campers have loved it.

July 29, 2020—Nitro Zone

One of the positive things about COVID has been all our new field trips. As our normal vendors closed their doors, others like Nitro Zone opened their doors. We’re thankful!

July 30, 2020—Skate Country

We love Skate Country so much for always welcoming us and our campers.  It’s a great place for kids to be kids.

July 31, 2020—Field Day

Today will be fun. Make sure campers wear sneakers. They will need them for all the running around they’ll do. 

Some of campers will have an additional two weeks of summer camp. We’re working on that field trip schedule to accommodate those campers.

Digital Learning Camp

Some of our campers will be starting the school year doing digital learning. We know that puts a lot of stress on some of our families. To make that easier for you as parents and fan easier transition for our current campers, we’re offering digital learning camp.

For $149/ week, students will complete schoolwork on their devices and fully participate in digital learning.  Once the day is over, they get to participate in our after school karate program.  Students need to bring their digital devices with chargers and headphones as well as snacks, a bottle of water, and snacks.  We have limited space so make sure to register.

 After School Karate

For those who opt for in-school instruction, we’re continuing our after school karate program. We will pick up your student and provide a karate uniform. We have daily karate classes. You get all that for $70/week. When you compare daycare prices to ours and all that we provide, our parents tell us it’s no brainer. You get karate included. 

But make no mistake. We’re not a daycare. We’re an MMA academy that offers a daily program for students after school. Our students take our karate program seriously. Our program isn’t like other karate programs in our area. Belt testing is earned not just with knowing the curriculum. We take a whole-child approach. Our students need to be doing well at home and school to earn the opportunity to test. Register to save your child’s spot.
