Legion Muay Thai Head Coach
Muay Thai started as a hobby for Brooklyn native Vinny Scotto, but it became a way of life. In Staten Island, his small club grew into a thriving community of enthusiasts and families, where he aimed to create a welcoming environment for students of all ages.
The club welcomed like-minded individuals who created training partners and formed a strong bond like a family. As their community grew, they started competing in local and national events, becoming a force to be reckoned with. Their creation story is one of transformation, from a small club to a Legion of warriors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child is shy or nervous?
This is completely normal! Our instructors are experienced in working with children of all personalities. We create a supportive, encouraging environment where kids can progress at their own pace. Many of our most confident students started out shy.
Is Muay Thai safe for kids?
Absolutely. Our youth and junior programs focus on age-appropriate techniques, proper form, and controlled practice. We emphasize safety first with padded equipment, supervised training, and a curriculum designed specifically for children's development. No sparring or contact is required.
What should my child wear to their first class?
Comfortable athletic clothing (t-shirt and athletic shorts or sweatpants) is perfect. We train barefoot, so no special footwear is needed. We provide gloves for the trial, and you'll receive a free pair to keep after completing the 3-class program.
Do parents watch or drop off?
You're welcome to stay and watch from our viewing area, or you can drop off and pick up. Many parents enjoy watching the first few classes, then transition to drop-off as their child becomes comfortable. We have a comfortable waiting area with WiFi.
What's the class size and student-to-instructor ratio?
We keep youth classes intentionally small and maintain a low student-to-instructor ratio. Class sizes vary by day, but we ensure every child gets personalized attention and proper instruction from our experienced coaches.
What happens after the 3-class trial?
If your child loves it (and we're confident they will!), we'll discuss membership options that fit your family's schedule and budget. There's no pressure or long-term commitment required. We offer flexible month-to-month memberships.
My child has never done martial arts before. Will they be behind?
Not at all! The majority of our students start as complete beginners. Our curriculum is designed to meet kids where they are and help them progress at their own pace. We celebrate individual growth, not comparisons.
