Latest happening from and around Heroes Martial Arts…
(That means that Wilbert Thigpen gets his blue belt!)
“Big Will” is known around Heroes as much for his big personality as anything else. He used to be much bigger in fact, he’s lost over 50 pounds since starting Jiu Jitsu!
Will is actually one of Gumby’s original Warehouse students, the oft talked about “Secret Warehouse” where Gumby taught prior to Heroes.
Will is as skilled as he is boisterous, and in addition to being able to train HARD, he’s always quick to offer encouragement to his teammates.
Will earned a Gold Medal in his division at the US Open this weekend, showing complete domination in each of his matches with shut out victories!
Congrats Will! We’re really lucky to have you here at Heroes Martial Arts!

"This place is nothing short of awesome! I tried a couple other gyms but I immediately fell in love with Heroes.
First of all, the instructors there are great. They have great demeanors and are approachable and funny. The lessons are organized, comprehensive and effective. I'm not the sharpest person and even I feel some semblance of progress day after day.
Second, the people are way helpful and friendly! My first roll (eh actually all of them I guess) was punctuated by "oops"es and "sorry"s, but everybody I drilled and rolled with was cool about it! Not to mention, I owe a lot of my progress to the very nice and interesting people I have met there.
Third, the place is freaking beautiful! Clean mats, brick walls, lots of space, windows, elevated ceilings, skylights. Such a simple, peaceful, clean gym makes it really easy to concentrate and focus. There's lots of mat space and even the walls have mats so there's little worry of crashing into someone or something.
This review basically reiterates a lot of the points that people bring up. I admittedly don't know much about Gumby's background other that he trained at Ralph Gracie's, but he is an excellent instructor with an excellent team. I love it" - Read more testimonials »
