Good place to train to get in shape and/or learn self defense skills. They offer boxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and kickboxing. Good coaches that will work with you whether you just started or are already a pro fighter.

Incredibly welcoming community, and an excellent workout. Friendly to beginners and experienced practicioners alike.
Lots of options for classes, it's easy to schedule them into your weekly routine.

I've been going to Guardian for a little over a month and I can't say enough good things about my experience there thus far. The community welcomes newcomers with open arms, the instructors are knowledgeable and kind, and the training is amazing. Guardian's mission to help Oakland youngsters is laudable as well. I was a teacher for ten years so I've seen a number of after-school programs, and Guardian ranks near the top. The youth students carry themselves with integrity, confidence and self-respect - qualities their mentors at the gym embody as well. If you're curious in the least, come see this place for yourself; it's well worth it.

I've been going to Guardian for almost a year now - it's not only a place that offers an outstanding array of quality classes in Jiu Jitsu, Boxing and Kickboxing, it's also a wonderful community made of the nicest people you can imagine. The folks at Guardian Gym are passionate about their mission: the gym being a non profit, they offer free training to children, and it's a blessing to see kids thrive there and pursue their passion. Join guardian and don't also make a difference for yourself, but also for them!

Guardian is a friendly, safe and electric place to work out. The community is really passionate about fighting, and equally passionate about their peers and their well-being. This positive atmosphere starts from the top. The owners and instructors are rad folks whose energy sets the tone for the whole project. Fighting for Oakland.

My wife and I joined Guardian a couple of months ago as a way to stay in shape and learn martial arts. The jiu-jitsu instruction with Caleb has been excellent and the boxing bootcamps with Brandy have been a great balance of skills work and conditioning. Aside from the instruction, the best part about this gym is the community! I'm new to jiu-jitsu and boxing and without exception, every single person I've met has been helpful, friendly, and welcoming. And of course, Guardian's mission is inspiring and the work they do here for the kids of Oakland is simply amazing.

P.S. This gym is clean! It's really impressive given how much the space gets used!

Guardian Gym is an awesome place. They have great instructors and students. Can't go wrong!

This place is amazing. These coaches teach tremendously a lot, but could be useful to the real world. It could give others the opportunity to have fun and to learn a lot of things others don't know. Everybody should come by and try a class to see how it goes. Hope you have fun!!!

awesome peoples just trying to make a difference in the community. great jiu jitsu as well. definitely worth giving this place a shot if you're looking into training.

With no disrespect to any of the other bay area schools this is hands down the best school around. Where else does your membership allow a kid under 18 to trane for free. From the minute I walked in I was treated as if I had been going for years not just from the teachers but the students. I can honestly say I love everybody in that space and what it represents, I am really happy to be a part of it.

It is a great place with great programs, I always feel better after class and can't wait to come back.

I really love this gym!!! They are so friendly there, super informative and the classes are always kicking my bum. Everyone who goes to guardian is both willing to learn and eager to help others learn as well. Clean gym with amazing instruction, rad equipment and a phenomenal vibe. You have to try out this gym!

This is (hands down!) the best way to start your day. They teach you how to throw solid punches and defend yourself. They get your abs ripped, get you in shape and healthy. They make you part of the community and help give back to the community. Now get off your phone and treat yourself by joining the cub.
