Heroes Downtown opened in 2009 and is the first of the Heroes Martial Arts studio. in 2018 Heroes moved across the street to our current location at 450 S 1st Street in a historic, refurnished brick and skylight building 100 years old. Heroes Martial Arts is located in the thriving SoFa district downtown. Perhaps the hippest neighborhood in all of San Jose, SoFA is home to a wide variety of businesses and organizations, ranging from cafes and restaurants, clubs, art galleries and creative firms to health and fitness gyms and yoga studios.
The downtown location has classes seven day a week with early morning, morning, early afternoon and evening classes available for our Adult programs.
The facility is constantly being decorated and features art from the local community (and students).
