Superhero School… No Really, A School To Teach You How To Be A Superhero

Got an email this morning from a group that is putting together a real-life school to train people in the art of being a superhero…

The plan is to create HERO, a community-center style business in Brooklyn that will teach: MMA, Parkour, self defense, personal safety, health & fitness, and heroic ideals and values. HERO will also have curricula in place to teach life skills, character development, superhero skills, personal development, and ways to help others and the community. They will be working with students ages 4 and up.

They also plan to host free seminars on self defense, parkour, anti-bullying, stranger awareness, children's health and fitness, de-escalation, kids hero workshops, and more.

The instructors include Jeremy "Spyder" Gallant who will be running our Parkour program and Chris "Dark Guardian" Pollak who will be running the self-defense and MMA program. They and other instructors from the school have been featured on the news, in a documentary, in the newspapers, magazines, or on TV.
