Heroes Martial Arts Academy Trussville

“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!”

“Chris Mize and his team are not only phenomenal instructors, they are also phenomenal people. This is the only gym I have ever been to where I felt like part of the family from day one. There is no awkward standing around and waiting for someone to speak with you. From the minute you walk in, everyone is extremely welcoming and polite. I highly recommend Chris and his team to anyone looking for martial arts training in and around the Birmingham, Alabama area.”

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

“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.”
