Nobody from the gym runs this page yet, so details come from public sources and may be incomplete. Details last checked on 25 September 2026.

Heroes Martial Arts was founded in 2009 by Alan "Gumby" Marques, a 4th degree black belt trained in the Ralph Gracie lineage. The original location sits in a historic, 100-year-old building in San Jose's SoFA district. Over the years, Heroes has expanded to three Bay Area locations, welcoming thousands of students from beginners to competitors. The gym emphasizes a safety-first culture, featuring on-site defibrillators, and operates without a belt-promotion payment system. Gumby previously founded OntheMat, a BJJ event-promotion company, and currently serves as president of the San Jose Downtown Association.
