Congrats to Bobby Vasquez: Blue Belt!!

Bobby

What can we say about Bobby?  As most of us at Heroes have already discovered, he’s an absolute beast on the mat.  A dangerous combination of technique, agility and raw strength Bobby is frequently paired against the big boys in class (of which we have many) despite the fact he’s actually under 200 pounds (which he’ll also happily remind you of :)   He’s got the skills to go with it, and is just as likely to beat you his finesse.  Bobby is a carry over from the “secret warehouse” days, and has actually been training with Gumby prior to the opening of Heroes.

Congratulations Bobby!  We’re proud of you and happy you’re representing Heroes!

  • ~ Rich P.

    Rich P."One day the young man inside me looked at the old man in the mirror and said “What the @#$! Happened to You?”.  I needed to get in shape, Gyms had never worked for me as I found that I missed the team aspect that I had enjoyed from the sports of my youth (Football, Wrestling, Baseball, Rugby and Kempo Karate).  The all grappling format of Heroes was of interest to myself and my wife as we both agreed I was too old to get punched in the face. I originally started at Heroes just so I could get my Old Fat Ass back in some kind of shape. So in June of 2009 this OLD FAT BASTARD went to his first class at Heroes.  After that first class my knees hurt, my lungs hurt my hands ached and I discovered ten or twelve muscles I didn’t even know I had.  But as I lay on my bed that night trying to recover I realized I was hooked. Now seven months later, 31 pounds lost and a couple of stripes under, or I should say around my belt I’m loving it even more.  The days I can’t make it to the Dojo due to my hectic work schedule I am truly disappointed. I have to thank all the instructors at Heroes, Alan “Gumby” Marques of coarse but also Chuck and Shozo, the Judo instructor, Scott, Dino and Ed from the wrestling program.  I could not have even started the long road to getting healthy and in shape without you guys, Thanks. If any of you are like I was, old, fat, out of shape and looking for a place to start the change this is the place.  "
