    Learn Jiu Jitsu fundamentals that are equally effective in the gym and in real-life situations

    This is a review for the Heroes Martial Arts located in East San Jose and Los Gatos as we haven't had a chance to check out all locations recently but I'm feeling confident they are run well under the leadership of Professor Gumby. My 13 year old outgrew her youth classes at the Campbell location (formerly Samurai BJJ) and we were lucky enough to discover amazing instructors Chuck and Nick who offer teen classes in East San Jose while the wonderful instructor Mike just started the teens class in Los Gatos. Not only competent and skillful with their BJJ abilities, they teach very well with patience and their own unique styles and personalities that enable my daughter to learn and adapt to what works best for her. The current classes MWF at East San Jose have strong attendance and teens from different ranges of skills and sizes and genders make it challenging and engaging for my daughter. The Los Gatos one just opened so we are taking advantage of more semi private attention until word gets out of how awesome Coach Mike is! Facilities are clean, well-kept and parking is easy enough to find at both locations. If you want a space that is safe, respectful, welcoming and empowering for both youth and adults to come and become solid martial arts practitioners, you need to check this out! They let you check it out without any pressure to sign up for membership so why not give it a try? The worst that can happen is ... you tap out ;)

    My name is Juan, and finding Gloglo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kickboxing Academy has honestly been…read moreone of the best decisions I've made--not just for myself, but for my family as well. My 20-year-old daughter and I train here together, and that alone says a lot about the kind of environment this academy provides. From day one, we both felt welcomed. The atmosphere is respectful, positive, and motivating. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or experienced--everyone is treated like part of the team. As a father, it means a lot to train in a place where I know my daughter is in a safe, supportive, and empowering environment. Head Instructor Leo is the foundation of everything great about this academy. His knowledge of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is incredibly high level, but what stands out most is how he teaches. He has the ability to break down complex techniques into simple, understandable steps, making it easier for both me and my daughter to learn and improve. He emphasizes not just technique, but discipline, respect, and real-life application. You can tell he genuinely cares about every student's growth, both on and off the mats. Coach David brings a powerful energy to every class. He's intense in the best way--pushing you to give your best while still making sure you're learning correctly. His attention to detail is incredible, and he's always there to make adjustments that take your skills to the next level. Training with him keeps you sharp, focused, and constantly improving. Coach Caden is someone who really connects with students, especially when it comes to building confidence. He's patient, approachable, and explains techniques in a way that truly clicks. My daughter, in particular, has benefited from his coaching style--he creates an environment where you feel comfortable asking questions and pushing yourself without pressure. Training here has been an amazing experience for both of us. The classes are structured, challenging, and rewarding. Whether it's Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu or kickboxing, every session builds not just physical strength, but mental toughness and confidence. What really makes this place special is the community. It's rare to find a gym where people genuinely support each other the way they do here. Everyone is respectful, helpful, and motivated to grow together. It's not just a gym--it's a team, and it feels like a second family. The facility is clean, organized, and professional. Everything runs smoothly, and you can see the pride they take in maintaining a high standard. Being able to train alongside my daughter in such a positive and high-level environment is something I truly value. Gloglo Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Kickboxing Academy has given us more than just training--it's given us a shared experience, growth, and lasting memories. I highly recommend this academy to anyone, whether you're coming in alone or with family. You won't regret it. -- Juan. D

What really stands out is how much they care they show up to tournaments to support and coach you which means a lot.The environment is super positive and family-friendly and everyone treats each other like a team. If you're serious about training or even just starting out this is the place to be.

His patience, dedication, and knowledge have made a real impact on our daughter, who is not only building great character traits but also is learning practical self-defense skills. Additionally, what stands out about the Gracie Academy's approach in general is the systematic approach it takes. The classes are designed for those genuinely interested in learning jiu jitsu as a martial art--a form of personal growth, not just sport. We are so grateful to Coach Julius and the entire team for creating such a supportive, disciplined, and empowering environment. If you're looking for a jiu jitsu school that teaches real-world skills in a family-friendly way, Gracie Jiu Jitsu East San Jose may be the school for you.

Sometimes, Erik who is the owner, would teach as well too if the instructor is out that day. Everyone is super friendly, it feels so family-oriented and the gym is very clean and spacious. It's also nice to be able to see my kids doing Jiu-Jitsu at the same day and time I am working out. My kids and I love it and enjoy coming every day from Monday to Thursday.
