I joined a guardian a year ago and it has helped transform my life. The gym has always been welcoming and the students in the jiu jitsu classes even more welcoming. Coach Caleb is a great instructor. And their mission is one that is the behind 100% since I was a low income nowhere to go kid growing up. I would highly recommend joining. More...

You guys - I have been to around 50 mma gyms all over the US and this one is in the top three. I really love my experience here. From the friendly staff to the accommodating space - they have minor tweaks that really make a work out there awesome. I love the instruction, warm ups, equipment and atmosphere. It's not often you find an mma gym that trains you hard and stays that clean, lol!!! They've got showers - and towels to rent in case you've forgotten yours. They have these awesome artist painted cubbies for your things (they're so cute). Everyone who goes to guardian is so kind - they've really built a beautiful community. I have always loved the martial arts life, but guardian takes it a step further and gives back to the community. They offer affordable classes to children (and adults) who maybe otherwise wouldn't have been able to attend - that feature helps us all. Molding the next generation means we are molding our future and I'm happy to be apart of a company that gives back in that way. Sending love n light X More...

The Guardian Gym has quickly become a very important part of my life. I go here three times a week for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and it is the most fun and strenuous workout that I do. Everyone here is super friendly and supportive, especially since I'm such a noob. It is clear that all the instructors care about the community both in the gym and around Oakland. More...

I am super impressed with The Guardian, from the facilities and top-notch instruction to the community that trains there. I travel for work and was looking for a home-away-from-home academy and enjoyed this place so much I came every day I could . If you're thinking of trying something new or looking for a great place to meet wonderful people and train- you will feel right at home over here. Instructors- what differentiates the instructors at The Guardian is that they teach beyond the technique. You will learn why a certain technique is effective from the biomechanics to the strategy, which only makes it more exciting to train here. The instructors also welcome questions, which is really impressive and consistent with the vibe of the place. I tend to ask a lot of questions about the things in which I am interested and I felt that in all the classes I attended they were well-received and could see that the instructors were responsive to the things I wanted to learn. There is no sense of vertical hierarchy here just instructors who obviously love what they do and love to pass their knowledge on to others. I took boxing, advanced striking, nogi, kickboxing and jiujitsu classes. Shout outs to Adam, Caleb, Dustin and Josuke for the warm welcome and excellent instruction! Facilities- the facilities are beautiful and the place is super clean, which makes it feel like a spa. It smells good too, which is impressive considering how much people sweat there. There is tons of mat space, heavy bags, a speed bag and wraps for rent. There is also water to drink and really nice showers. Community- it feels like home. I got such a warm welcome from Ben, the instructors and people I train with that it felt like I had been going there for ages. Starting at a new academy can be a tough, especially when you don't know anyone and don't yet know the vibe, are worried your conditioning sucks or how hardcore people are. I immediately felt comfortable to be myself and enjoyed every training partner with whom I trained this week. I can only imagine how cool it must be for the school kids who take classes here. I love martial arts and the community it fosters and feel that The Guardian is the confluence of all the things I enjoy- plus the opportunity to share this joy with a kids in school. In summary, this is an awesome place and if you are considering checking out you won't regret it. I am already looking forward to my next class! More...

I recently visited the Guardian Gym from out of town to attend a BJJ seminar and I cannot articulate in words how impressed I was with the gym, and more importantly, the philosophical outlook of those in charge of running the academy. This is one of the few martial arts schools that seem to really have a genuine sense of altruism and love at its core; and one that is making a tangible, positive impact on its community. Walking into a new martial arts school can be somewhat of an intimidating experience, but the people at Guardian made me feel welcome and at home from the moment I arrived. I would happily encourage anyone to come see what these guys have to offer. Great place. Rad vibe. A definite recommend. More...
