~ Mike A
"Gumby the Head Instructor is a great teacher. The facility is all new and clean. I didn’t have any grappling experience before I started here, but Gumby’s instrcutions are so simple and easy that you can follow everything he teaches. The only problem is remembering it when ur actually sparring haha. All the instructor’s Gumby, Canada, Keith and Mike are all very helpful and try to help in any way they can. If you want to learn BJJ then this place is the way to go. You really have to work hard if u want to be good. Unless your a natural, but all the instruction is top notch and on point. We start off with running, then pushups, situps, legups,head bops which hurt like hell(my neck has never been so sore the next day after training) and snake manuevers, then Gumby shows Basic Fundamentals that is our base of BJJ.(which I still need to work on) It’s not Easy Gumby’s Motto is Train Hard, Fight Hard, Party Hard. I guess it depends who you are though. Some people progress faster than others. Just Stay motivated and it will all come. Gumby keeps everybody motivated and says that mat time is the only way to get better. After fundamentals he shows us more advanced moves and we work on them with a partner. More Drill and more Drills. Then the funnest and most tiring part of class. Sparring! Sparring is the best part of class. People are very aware and cautious here. There are a lot of strong guys, but they don’t try to go all out and injure you. There are no crazy ego’s and everybody just want’s to learn and get better. It’s a great atmosphere! Heroes is in downtown San jose and has class times all throughout the day! They also teach Judo, Wrestling, Gi and No Gi BJJ Classes Train Hard, Fight Hard,Party Hard By the Way Gumby got his Black Belt from Ralph Gracie and Trained with BJ PENN. Gumby Actually gave BJ Penn his Nickname. The PRODIGY "
