INTRODUCTION

Legacy Martial Arts London is more than a martial arts academy, it is one of the most unique and highly credentialed training centres in the UK, and arguably Europe. Based in Hoxton and located just one minute from Hoxton Overground Station, Legacy combines world-class instruction, authentic martial arts lineage, and a strong community built around progression, health, and real skill development.

Legacy carries one of the most impressive martial arts credentials in the industry: a 40+ year unbroken lineage in Hoxton rooted in Bob Breen’s direct instruction under Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee’s student and training partner. We are also the only academy in the UK offering a fully accredited JKD and Kali programme directly descended through the Bruce Lee → Dan Inosanto → Bob Breen lineage.

Our coaching team brings together an exceptional level of experience and expertise. Head Instructor Paul Clark competed across multiple disciplines, including Karate, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), Submission Wrestling, and MMA. Following an injury that brought his competitive fighting career to an end, Paul transitioned into coaching, where he has built a strong reputation for developing athletes and fighters. Alongside coaching, he has also spent over 10 years working as a professional stunt performer and combat trainer, including training lead actor Paul Mescal for Gladiator 2 and many others throughout his career. His background combines real-world fighting experience, elite coaching, and professional combat expertise.

Alongside Paul, our Head Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Coach Steve Payne brings world-class credentials as a two-time IBJJF European Champion and four-time World medallist.

Legacy Martial Arts London offers a unique opportunity to train across a range of martial arts disciplines, including 4D combat, Jeet Kune Do (JKD), Kali and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ)

All delivered in a welcoming, professional, and supportive environment.
