In this photo (L-R) we see RZA the founder and leader of the legendary rap group the Wu-Tang Clan, Emory Tate an American International Master of Chess, Gumby the head BJJ Instructor at Heroes Martial Arts, Adisa Banjoko the founder of the HHCF (and long time student of Gumby’s at Heroes Martial Arts and Monk of the Black Knights.

Among the highlights of the day was a Jiu Jitsu demonstration given by Gumby and Adisa.  The event held at O Connell High School in San Francisco featured panel discussions,  music, graffiti and sidewalk art, martial arts and of course chess and showing youth strategies and outlets they could use in life.

At Heroes Martial Arts we’re always happy to be involved with and help the community and we’re looking to more opportunities in the future!

    DDN"This is the next generation of academies no longer are academies confined to hidden industrial parks, this academy is in an amazing prime downtown location that looks like it would be suited for an art gallery. Which does fit since the head instructor Alan (Gumby) Marques keeps a strong focus on the pure gentile art we know as Jiu-Jitsu. Gumby is an incredibly patient instructor whose mellow demeanor offers students excellent instruction. But don’t let Gumby’s mellow demeanor fool ya he will put it on ya, he is a fierce competitor who is well respected in the BJJ world.  In short Heroes is SIC!  "
