About Guardian
Guardian is a 501(c)3 nonprofit martial arts gym in downtown Oakland, California. We offer classes in boxing, Brazilian jiu jitsu, and kick boxing. Our gym is free for kids ages 10 – 18, and offers affordable sliding-scale memberships for adults. Our space was founded on the belief that almost everyone wants to be a part of a tribe, and we work daily to serve as a vital space for our community.

Our Mission
Guardian provides students with skills that help them build self esteem, confidence and discipline. We aim to propel young lives and prepare them for the future by providing a world-class environment to connect with mentors, peers, and community leaders. Our space offers:
A safe environment for getting kids off the streets or out of the house
An opportunity to connect with a mentor
A productive atmosphere for finishing school homework and engaging in creative passions
A chance to connect with a network of peers that are trying to grow and excel
Our Community
Oakland is an amazing community. However, it still needs your help.
