We keep training at Heroes, and hard work pays off.  The latest promotions (stripes) awarded are as follows:

White Belt 1st Stripe

Andrea Dizon
Paul Telles
Marc Pomestan
Mike O’Connor

White Belt 2nd Stripe

Dennis Ruth
Joey Ruiz
Eben Thomas
Eric Eugenio
Jeremy Portilla

White Belt 3rd Stripe

Randahl Ritchie II
Bobby Vasquez
Phil Canet
Joshua Perez

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.  For a description of our ranking system and fundamentals, click here: Heroes BJJ Fundamentals Checklist (PDF Format)

    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!  "
