Latest happening from and around Heroes Martial Arts…
Dennis Ruth gets his blue belt!
Dennis was one of the first students at Heroes Martial Arts, but Gumby and Dennis had encountered each other years earlier at Dennis’s Judo home in Santa Clara.
Judo and Jiu Jitsu compliment each other very well in many ways of course, and to know both is to be well rounded, but for long time students of one or the other the transition can sometimes be tough. Dennis has a ton of experience in judo, but now he can say when he gets on the mat he can think like a Jiu Jitsu person as well.
Dennis jumped right away into his first Jiu Jitsu competition at Blue Belt, taking Silver in his division at the US Open!
Congrats Denny!

"I came to Heroes after being invited by my friend to come out and roll. As I walked in to the academy, I was pleasantly surprised to find out big and spacious the mat was. The pictures don't really do it justice how much mat space there is. I was greeted by owner/ head instructor Gumby and openly welcomed into the gym.
The facility is top notch: Swain mats over 2400sqft, restrooms and private changing rooms, water fountain. I came as the team was getting their last training in before a tournament so Gumby worked mainly on fixing small mechanics. His teaching method is very methodical and detail oriented. I felt was very specific in his concept that he wanted to teach. I only expected to come for an open mat and I ended up staying for 2 and half hours.
There are lots of choices in the Silicon Valley for Jiu-jitsu, but I highly recommend Heroes for anybody at any skill level. Not only for the great instruction and facility, but for the friendly environment as well.
I will definitely come back to train here" - Read more testimonials »
