Alan Baker has dedicated 45 years to studying unique and often obscure martial arts. As a master-level educator, he has a rare ability to simplify complex concepts and make them teachable. This blend of experience and clarity has made him a sought-after instructor in both the martial arts and defensive tactics communities. After years of requests from students and instructors worldwide, Sifu Alan created the Legacy Academy to make these specialized systems accessible to everyone. In most cases, training in these arts would require traveling across the world to learn from high-level instructors. The Legacy Academy changes that by offering an online archive of detailed lessons and the annual Legacy Academy Summit, where practitioners can train multiple arts in one event each year.
Credit Where Credit Is Due
At its heart, the Legacy Academy was built to honor and respect the teachers who have guided Sifu Alan throughout his journey, preserving their knowledge and passing it forward to the next generation of martial artists.

The Challenge Facing Today’s Modern Martial Artist
It’s frustrating trying to find legitimate, in-depth martial arts instruction today. Most schools only scratch the surface. They focus on one system or a commercialized version of what used to be real. For those of us who crave deeper knowledge, who want to understand how the arts connect, evolve, and truly work in real-world situations, the options are almost nonexistent.

What Our Students Are Saying
Meet Your Guide: Sifu Alan Baker
For more than four decades, Sifu Alan Baker has lived the martial path. A full-time instructor since 1990, he has trained under some of the most respected masters in the world, Dan Inosanto, Francis Fong, Erik Paulson, Pedro Sauer, Ajarn Chai Sirisute, and many others, and holds advanced rank or instructor certification in more than twenty-five systems.
Alan’s lifelong study across arts such as Jiu-Jitsu, Jeet Kune Do, Filipino Kali, Silat, Wing Chun, and Combat Submission Wrestling has shaped a unique approach that blends tradition, functionality, and modern relevance. His career has taken him from teaching civilians and martial arts schools to designing defensive-tactics programs for law enforcement, protection teams, and Fortune 500 security groups globally.
Legacy Academy was created to share that depth of experience with dedicated students who want authentic knowledge, not marketing. Inside the archive, Alan opens the doors to systems rarely taught together and provides the structure to study them with purpose. Each year, members gather at the Legacy Summit to train side by side, compare notes, and bring those lessons to life.
Alan’s mission is simple: to honor the teachers who came before, preserve what matters, and pass it forward to the next generation of serious practitioners.

The Difference Between Movement and Progress
Without a structured path, years can pass while your training circles the same patterns. Techniques blur together, and progress stalls. You stay busy, but not better. Most people never move beyond surface-level training. They collect drills, chase rank, and lose sight of why they started in the first place. Without a guide or a tribe, the spark fades, and the art that once inspired you becomes routine. The deeper understanding of how the arts connect and function in real life remains out of reach, and so does your full potential.
“I built Legacy Academy to honor my teachers and keep authentic martial knowledge alive and accessible to more people. Whether you train online or meet us at the Summit, you’re part of something greater: a team and lineage.”
– Sifu Alan Baker
