Dino Del Mastro earns his Blue Belt!
Dino is a man of many talents. Judo black belt, assistant coach for the wrestling class and Heroes Martial Arts official chiropractor/therapist (currently working over at TEAM Clinic in Santa Clara). Now he can add Blue Belt in Jiu Jitsu to his extensive resume!
Congrats to the man they call “Dr. Armbar!”
They say probably the toughest leap within Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the transition between blue and purple belt. George Tan is definitely tough, and he displays the best qualities and skills we aspire to at Heroes Martial Arts, so today George has graduated to the Purple Belt (Faxia Roxa in Portuguese if you prefer).
Congrats George! We’re all looking forward to seeing what you accomplish on the mat next and look forward to your continued leadershipt!

Our latest blue belt at Heroes is Michael “Giggles” Pickens!
Don’t let the nickname fool you, Giggles is as tough as they come and an absolute natural talent on the mat. (Why the nickname Hang out with him for about five minutes and you’ll see.)
Unfortunately, we are also saying goodbye to Giggles for now as he is heading to Naval Officer’s school in Rhode Island to begin a four year tour (and then parts unknown after that. We’re sure that Giggle’s will represent Heroes well as he serves our country!
We’re proud of you and we’ll miss you Giggles!
