Congrats Heroes!
We have a stripe system for our white belts only. Four stripes and then the student is eligible for their blue belt. Philosophically, everY promotion from the white belt stripe through the colored belts (blue, purple, brown then black) will be roughly twice as difficult to accomplish as the previous ranking.

"I was looking for a place to train BJJ in San Jose for almost two months before i found Heroes. Its not that i couldn’t find a legit academy, there’s a few really great schools in the area but they run a bit pricey. After a few weeks training here I know I made the right decision. Here’s why Heroes is the the complete package in my humble opinion.
Instructors: Gumby’s teachings are easy to follow and he happily answers any questions if you still can’t figure out a move. He preaches simple, effective techniques during the introductory classes and divides the larger classes up based on skill level so the more experienced players get what they need.
Students: In two words…. hella chill. No crazy egos or tough guys
Facility: top of the line mats, gorgeous aesthetics (vaulted ceilings, birck lined walls), brand new showers/bathrooms.
If you’ve ever wanted to train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu I definitely recommend checking this academy out. " - Read more testimonials »
