Latest happening from and around Heroes Martial Arts…
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!

"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 »
