The classes they run
“Jiujitsu is a great defensive martial arts for children and can form a solid foundation for them to branch onto other martial arts disciplines.”
“My son is reserved and a bit shy, but he is slowly coming out of his shell thanks to Richard and Kevin's patience and thoughtfulness when interacting with him.”
“Dropped in and trained with Kevin on a Thurs night and Friday morning, both classes nogi.”
“Structure was drilling, positional rolling, and then free rolling.”
“The facilities are brand new, and more than you could expect or ask for in a Dojo.”

“Its also a pretty fun way to workout for those that dont enjoy regular cardio training and is a great way to keep workouts fun.”
“My son loves each lesson, even if he doesn't show it at the time.”
“The dojo is very clean and well-kept, the membership pricing is affordable and more importantly, the kid is learning and having fun at once.”
From the reviews
My 6-year-old daughter was hesitant about starting a martial arts. I wanted to find a place that eased her into martial arts while teaching her some positive lifelong skills to boost confidence.
My son seems to have very little interest in any physical activities, but for some reason he really enjoys samurai Brazilian jiu jitsu. He will often ask me when is the next class. I like how they offer a no hassle 1 week free trial. No pressure in sales or anything.
Dropped in and trained with Kevin on a Thurs night and Friday morning, both classes nogi. Great detailed instruction in a casual setting. The guys here are skilled, the vibe is pretty chill and friendly, and the facility is well-appointed and clean. Structure was drilling, positional rolling, and then free rolling.
Professor Richard kindly invited me to drop in for classes while visiting family in San Jose. I attended morning classes with professor Kevin, and received top notch instruction by him and a few others who teach at the academy. The atmosphere was clean, friendly, and very welcoming.
New to BJJ? Start at Heroes Martial Arts: Campbell
Heroes Martial Arts: Campbell comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at Heroes Martial Arts: Campbell
Nervous about walking into a BJJ gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
