Women’s Class is a mat for women only that uses fundamental Jiu Jitsu concepts in a fun environment emphasizing self defense and fitness, with a minimal emphasis on the competitive aspects.
Gi is optional for this class, but participants are encouraged to wear comfortable workout style clothing that can with stand the rigors of light grappling.
The Woman’s class is on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30PM to 6:30PM

- ~ Joey R
"Being new to BJJ, I found an awesome introduction to it in a very welcoming atmosphere at Heroes. Very well instructed through Gumby and Mike. Still a novice but have already noticed changes such as generally feeling better mentally and having more energy. Central Downtown SJ, it couldn’t be in a better spot. " - Read more testimonials »
