We’ve had a great experience with Heroes Martial Arts Academy for our son in the kids class. He has been a part of jiujitsu gyms in FL, CO and here and this place is top notch. It is a welcoming and encouraging environment for kids to learn, and has solid coaches who really pour into the kids through instruction and fun. The owner, Chris Mize is amazing and has built a great community at Heroes. This is the kind of place you WANT your kids to be; we highly recommend!

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!

Heroes Martial Arts Academy is an excellent gym for learning BJJ and Civilian Tactical defense. The instructors are patient and skilled at communicating the techniques, and the community is very supportive. I couldn't recommend it more.

I’ve known Chris for almost 30 years. He and his staff are excellent instructors, coaches, and mentors offering incredible martial arts instruction.

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!
