Guardian Baltimore

“Started training here a few years ago. Locura, Jarrid, and Carlos are great instructors, the rolls are hard but the vibes are very supportive//not overwhelmingly bro-y. Love that my membership pays for the kids to train for free.”

“Amazing gym!!! I have been training here for 2+ years after years at different schools. All classes are taught by excellent black belts and there are many other higher belts around to spar with and learn from. The environment is extremely welcoming and open to EVERYONE regardless of age, sex, experience, sexual orientation or any other factor. lots of gyms have negative, overly masculine cultures but not Guardian. they are supportive and helpful to everyone whether you are a novice, expert or in between. If you want to compete this gym will prepare you very well and if you just want exercise, the gym is still perfect for you. The space is large and growing with plenty of mat space, multiple showers and changing rooms. The gym is a nonprofit where adults, like me, pay a reasonable tuition to support FREE training for Baltimore youth!!! the impact is incredible. Come check out guardian you won’t be disappointed.”

“There are many reasons to train here. The primary reason I train there is to help the kids. This is a nonprofit organization where the adults donate fees and all kids under 18 train for free. The jiujitsu is good. If you want to learn how to fight, train hard and get in shape, this is your place. There's a great group of high level folks that train at noon and exchange a ton of fight theory. Recently added mat space. Easy space for stand up and ground.”

“Locura is so cool. He made me learn jew jitsu now im a white belt with one stripe since i paid him 400 dollars in personal fews. Thanks”

“I consider Guardian my home gym whenever I’m visiting in the city, and one of my best friends trains here. The instructors are great communicators AND very skilled, and the vibe is warm and welcoming. You’ll feel at home whether you are a purple belt or brand new to the art. This, combined with their mission to offer FREE training to Baltimore’s youth, should be enough for anybody to want to come in and support. Love this place!”
