A community that trains for life
Ashland Hero Academy is a community of dedicated practitioners who train jiu jitsu, kickboxing, and tai chi as cornerstones of lifelong health. We prioritize each other’s growth and steady, consistent progress over quick wins. The goal isn’t a six-week transformation. It’s building a practice for life.
Our classes
Jiu Jitsu
Mon–Fri 9:00 am · Mon–Thu 6:00 pm
Strength, confidence, health, and community: jiu jitsu builds all four. You’ll learn to stay calm and capable under pressure, get in the best shape of your life, and become part of a training community that shows up for each other on and off the mats.
Muay Thai Kickboxing
Mon–Thu 5:00 pm
Most people come to train for the stress relief and the conditioning, and stay for how capable it makes them feel. Muay Thai is a complete striking art and a serious workout that builds real self-defense skill and the quiet confidence that comes with it.
Kids Martial Arts
Ages 6–13 · Mon–Thu 4:00 pm
Our kids will face real challenges in life. Our job is to help them build the keystone skills that carry them through: self-awareness, self-control, focus, and personal strength. They’ll grow more confident and resilient, and have a great time doing it.
Tai Chi
We practice tai chi as a path to genuine well-being: strength, resilient health, deep relaxation, heightened awareness, and a clear mind. It’s a discipline you can start at any age and deepen for the rest of your life.
Strength & Mobility
Our personal trainers specialize in functional fitness and performance training that makes everything else you do, on the mats and off, work better.

I highly recommend AHA. The culture of the academy is centered around working together to improve one another. This is the least ego-based school I have been part of. Coach Russell is not only knowledgeable but he is also very considerate and patient. If you are interested in BJJ, AHA is definitely worth checking out.
