I've been training martial arts for 25 years and was very impressed with my first class at Guardhouse. Super clean facility, excellent tatami, high level instruction, and a very welcoming atmosphere. Overall an outstanding experience and I’m looking forward to training there again.

Amazing place to be. Clean, organized, with great and kind instructors, well-climatized, and a huge training area. I feel nothing but gratitude toward them. My husband used to train there, but he got injured outside the gym and couldn’t go back to BJJ. Then my 6-year-old daughter started classes there, and now our life is all about BJJ. My husband has recovered, and now I am his training partner. I am learning so much there. The partners and coaches are so patient that you feel comfortable being a beginner, without any shame. I highly recommend this place for your child and for your family. You should give BJJ a try, and this is the best place to start. Gisele

I love this place! I was very comfortble right from the start. Everyone here is friendly and I've been so blown away by the amazing spirit of mutual improvement shown to me by all the experienced grapplers. Now I bring two girls to the wonderful kids classes. They love coming here, too. I hope they will be inspired by the amazing female coaches and by all the great female teammates here. The quality of instruction is high, and my classes have been perfectly challenging. This place is so clean and friendly. 5 stars!
