Latest happening from and around Heroes Martial Arts…
Congratulations are in order for Michael Huang, who was awarded his purple belt by Gumby this morning! Anyone who has had the opportunity to train with Mike will attest to him being a true technical terror on the mat, and he’s constantly seeking to improve his game.
Mike is also directly responsible for talking Gumby into starting the 7 AM class, (no easy feat to get Gumby out of bed that early). As it turns out this was a great move, the 7 AM class has been growing steadily and features some truly awesome training, a really great way to start off your day.
Congrats and well deserved Mike!

"Whether you are looking for a great new place to start training, a place to sharpen your skill/prepare for competition, or just a fun way to get in great shape and meet great people HEROES is the place to go. I have been training at Heroes for a year and a half now and couldn't be happier with the Academy. I came here to try out Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for the first time and I certainly came to the right place.
I've trained both in Judo and Wrestling for most of my life I have been to MANY different gyms and trained under MANY different coaches let me tell you that heroes is truly a 5 star and 3 dimensional academy.
Gumby is an excellent Jiu Jitsu coach and is very knowledgable, patient and personable. It seems to be the norm at Heroes for more and more new people to start their training and within a few short months are comfortably training right along with guys that have been training for years! Very impressive.
Although I have wrestled for many years I must say that Ed is the best wrestling coach I have ever trained under. He is absolutely passionate about the sport and explains even the most basic techniques in great detail and usually has an entertaining story to go along with it! At each practice I learn something new that I have been missing in my arsenal for YEARS.
Shozo and the San Jose State crew that help out with Judo are amazing to work with. If you know anything about Judo you know that Judoka from all over the country and all over the world come to San Jose State to train for National, International and World Competition. To have a top notch instructor like Shozo who used to train/compete and coach at such a high level of competition here with us at Heroes is truly a blessing.
As I could continue to go on and on let me also say that the people that the academy attracts are real class acts. It feels like home coming here to train with many friendly faces that will smile and shake your hand, kick your butt, then smile and joke around again after class. I have made many new friends at heroes who I always look forward to seeing both on and off the mat.
Thank you Gumby and Heroes. I would HIGHLY recommend ANYONE who is thinking about checking out the academy to call or stop by. You will not be disappointed! " - Read more testimonials »
