Personally, finding this place has been the best thing I have ever done for my mental health. I was welcomed from the day I walked in & it has became such a healthy obsession (jiu jitsu) that I wouldn’t know what to do without this place. Coach Robbie & coach Bowlin are the best & professor Mize is the goat. 10/10 across the board!

I used to go here with my dad and he made good friends with my coach (Scott, the real MVP) and the people here just felt like family to me and I've gone to other places after I moved and never got the same feeling. I will try to go back as soon as I could but so far just have not been able to.-Alexander Williams

Heroes teaches great JiuJitsu based on the Gracie Fundementals passed on to the legendary Pedro Sauer then to Chris Mize the "Godfather of Alabama MMA" I highly recommend the school whether you want to compete, want to get some exercise, or for self defense.

Heroes is a great place to learn, train, and grow. The gym is inviting, comfortable and clean. The coaches and students produce a welcoming and encouraging environment. My young daughter and I have found a new love: training at Heroes! I recommend training at Heroes for everyone of all ages, shapes, sizes and abilities. There is something for everyone to learn and always room to grow!

If anyone is looking to start up Brazilian Jui-Jitsu, this is the right place to go. Coach Chris also has a location in Vestavia Hills which is where I go the most. Chris is an amazing coach. He is very passionate in what he does and you can tell he loves teaching others. I joined the class to teach me skills for when I join the police force. Chris has a great team also and they are definitely like a family. :) If I was staying in the state, I would be a lifer in his class.

Chris and his staff were kind enough to offer our community a self defense class yesterday just as a public service. I would’ve paid for this class! It was very good and gave me the confidence to feel like I could protect myself if I’m ever in that situation. I went home and showed my kids the moves too. Thanks Chris for a great experience! 5 stars

Chris and his team were amazing today!!! I highly recommend them. We were taught self defense moves that I know can be used in real life situations. I walked away feeling so much more confident and better prepared to handle myself should I need to protect myself. These guys are very professional. I can't thank you enough for everything you guys have done. If you are considering taking classes in self defense/martial arts, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! I give it 5 stars!

We took a private self defense class and it was great! The instructor (Chris) was very knowledgeable and helpful. He entertained different scenarios and situations and showed my college aged daughters how to escape different holds. He gave them ample time to practice the maneuver before moving on to a new skill. I would definitely recommend Heroes Martial Arts Academy!

Excellent place to train. Very welcoming atmosphere and the instructors are all very down to earth, highly skilled teachers. If you’re looking for a gym where everyone is a yolked boot camp instructor with anger issues, then this is NOT the place for you. If you’re looking for a group of welcoming, unassuming, NORMAL people from all walks of life that can kill you in five seconds, then welcome home.
