Love that this place is dedicated to Jiu Jitsu and that they offer 1 week of free trial, not to mention the classes are 1.5 hours so that classes doesn't feel rushed.
Guardian Jiu-Jitsu is amazing. Been training here since the opening day and been going everyday since. The coaches are incredible the Tatami is well build and looked after and the music is 🔥. HIGHLY recommend anyone to come in and have a scrap. I’ll see ya there 🫡
Guardian Jiu-Jitsu is absolutely incredible! From the moment you walk in, the environment is so warm, friendly, and welcoming. The classes themselves are supportive, constructive, and brilliantly taught. A massive standout is the coaching—having multiple coaches on the mat who are actively involved and helping the entire time makes a world of difference. It creates an incredibly safe space to learn and grow. We’ve trained at a few different gyms, and Guardian is by far the most positive and encouraging academy we've experienced. Highly recommend!
My 5 year old looks forward to training at Guardian Jiu-Jitsu. The coaching team is patient, encouraging & great at connecting with kids. They’ve created an environment that is engaging & fun while teaching them solid BJJ fundamentals, confidence & coordination. The pricing is excellent & offers great value for the quality of coaching. It’s also a fantastic way to help children develop practical self-defence skills, giving them tools to better handle bullying & difficult situations in a calm & controlled way. With bullying still being a reality in many schools, those skills are invaluable. I’d happily recommend Guardian Jiu-Jitsu to any family looking to get their kids involved.
My daughter absolutely loves coming to the Guardian Jiu Jitsu classes! The coaches are fantastic -they're friendly, encouraging, and really know how to keep the kids engaged while helping them learn. The classes are always well-organised, and it's a great mix of learning new skills, staying active, and having fun. It's such a positive and supportive environment, and it's clear the instructors genuinely care about every child. We're so happy we found this club and would definitely recommend it to any family looking for a great place for their kids to learn Jiu Jitsu.
Have been on the look out for a club that would take my 4 year old but most places only do 6 up so figured we’d just wait. Then saw these guys pop up so we took her to the first kids class and she loved it! The instructors are friendly and great at making the lessons more relatable to kids. Her dad also joined the adults classes and has never done it in his life. He LOVES it! Think you guys might need a bigger space soon seeing how popular it is already 😆
We recently enrolled our little girl and have had a fantastic experience so far. The coaches are patient, encouraging and great at making the sessions fun while helping the kids build confidence and skills. They create such a positive environment and our daughter always looks forward to attending. Highly recommend!
