Friendly amazing staff. Kick boxing and jiuJITSU were great. Would highly recommend.

Great place for family afternoon activities! Amazing instructors and friendly atmosphere! I’m taking kickboxing classes with my daughter and we love it.

I’ve only been with Guardian a few weeks, but it’s easy to feel at home here. The classes have great energy; classmates are always willing to help each other improve and work through difficult tech. The coaches are not only technically skilled, but are also great communicators, which helps to get the most out of the lessons. I especially recommend the women’s classes to any women who are interested, we have a good group going.

Only good things to say about the gym and the coaches.

Amazing experience! The coaches are knowledgeable, patient, and experienced. The atmosphere is also outstanding. Along with this, the training facility is clean, and new! Definitely recommend training here whether youre a beginner or already experienced.

Coaches are patient and knowledgeable, newcomers are very welcomed and treated with respect! Everyone is friendly and helpful. You feel amazing after a class!

Head instructor Kevin Irwin is the most encyclopedic, enthusiastic BJJ teacher Ive had (and Ive had a few in my nearly three years doing this). Both those traits are evident when you hear him speak about the various details of a given technique or said techniques applicability in a given situation.The other instructors and teammates at the gym are incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable as well! Coach Joshua Radke is a fun-loving badass who teaches some incredibly useful techniques and his warm ups are great for learning specific sequences and situations. Hes also just a funny dude in general.Coach Eldis (who does the competition class) is the perfect person to keep you on your toes while pushing your endurance to the limit. If youre planning on competing in BJJ, youre in great hands with him. If youre just looking to test your endurance and get in shape, youre still in great hands with him.The kids program is the largest Ive seen, which means that theyre doing something right to keep normally hyper and distractible humans interested and enthusiastic.If you know what to expect when training BJJ and are looking to challenge your body, mind, and fighting spirit, this is the place to be.They also have kickboxing classes here too, which are great, but sadly the time of day they take place at means Im not usually able to make them. Which is a shame, because the coaches are great and the classes are awesome as well. Thats about my only complaint about Guardian.

Guardian has had me as a member since they opened as well as before under their previous name. I get along very well with everyone that is there. Newcomers are treated with a great respect as well as appreciation. I would highly recommend this place for anyone wanting to delve into martial arts.

This place is absolutely amazing!!! The coachs are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to make sure that you understand what they teach! You cant find a better place to train jiujitsu!

Incredibly welcoming training studio. Im returning from a decade long layoff and all students and trainers have been polite, welcoming, encouraging, and team players.Im not asked to do things Im not comfortable with and they understand my goals and are helping me reach them. Down 6 pounds in 2 weeks!

Amazing coaches! Was welcomed right away and made to feel like I belonged. Almost 4 weeks in and I’ve learned so much already! Kevin and Andy have a really good thing going that will keep me coming back.

Cant state enough how awesome this place is! Instructors that genuinely want to teach students no matter their skill level. Very clean and a comfortable atmosphere. Important things in a legitimate martial arts school.

Very welcoming to new students from children to adults! Love the environment and the encouraging classmates, you can expect quality instructors in both bjj and kickboxing. Definitely recommend for anyone!

Great atmosphere. Very welcoming. Coaches know what they are teaching. It shows every class. They love what they are doing and thats why its the best place to learn.

Tried my first kickboxing class and was instantly hooked! I signed up for 6 month of kickboxing and jiu jitsu. Very friendly staff and beginner friendly!

Great instructors and super welcoming! I love kickboxing, and it gives a great workout!

Amazing place to train and prepare for competition. Alto of tough guys there that will get you in excellent shape from rolling 👍🏻

Can honestly say this place has had more of a positive impact on my life than anything else before. The students and staff are beyond amazing people. I have never felt more alive and confident. Their jiu jitsu is world class. Cant wait until covid blows over and we can train again.

Very good coaches, welcoming and friendly. Good for all levels of jiu-jitsu and kickboxing.

Great instructors and a super accepting atmosphere. All skill levels are welcomed here.

Awesome place really got me into the sport of kickboxing, awesome community!

These coaches are just a joy to learn from! Super passionate, knowledgeable, and make the process fun for us newbs who dont know what were doing yet. The whole environment that theyve created is really welcoming. Everyone, including my fellow students are eager to help. 5 stars.

What a great place for adults and children to learn self defense. My daughter (13yrs old) has been attending almost 2 months and loves it. Staff is very friendly, positive environment, and excellent training facility. Thank you.

Been going for about two weeks, both the kickboxing and the BJJ classes. Everyone is friendly and its a relaxed atmosphere. The thought of going to a gym like this is way more intimidating than actually going. Also before one of my classes I got to see the last 15 or do minutes of a kids BJJ class. I was very impressed. And before the end of the kids class they had a nice ethics lesson. Would definitely recommend this place for friends and for friends interested in enrolling kids.

Best BJJ gym in West Michigan!

Was very impressed with the level of instruction when I came through town

I was visiting from California and they made me feel very welcome. Had a great time training there. Some tough guys as well.

Wonderful environment! My son takes classes and is always excited to go. The new facility is great and all of the instructors and their helpers show each child that they can be great.

This is an excellent training facility, the staff is really great, super knowledgeable and very friendly. The facility is very clean and welcoming. They offer kick boxing classes too! And womens only Jiu-Jitsu. You will Not regret checking this place out.

Awesome place! Friendly environment. Coaches are willing to help and give tips for both BJJ and kickboxing

My son was being bullied in school so to boost his confidence I enrolled him in the kids Jiu-Jitsu class. He now has the confidence to defend himself and stand up for others in his grade. Coach Kevin not only teaches the children how to defend themselves, but he always has a life lesson at the end of classes. He really wants the kids he teaches to not only be good at fighting, but to be good people. If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would!

Best place Ive trained bjj at in the west Michigan area. Facility is nice and kept clean. The instructors are always helpful and kind, for both day one beginners and experienced students. Unlike some schools, all students are cared about and given attention, not just students who compete. I couldnt imagine training and developing my jiu jitsu anywhere else.

Wonderful place to learn Jiu Jitsu. They have an excellent facility that is clean and spacious enough for all the students. The coaches care about the students’ well being and provide excellent instruction. The students all respect each other and go out of the way to help out one another.

Great instruction, friendly atmosphere and a fantastic work out. Great for all ages and highly recommended.

I happened to be in the area for work and was looking for a place to train. I was happy that I found Guardian Jiu-Jitsu while I was there. The team was very welcoming to me, facility very clean, and the instruction was very well detailed. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking for a place to learn BJJ.

Such a friendly and welcoming group of people. The coaches are awesome and really emphasize on safety. A fantastic place to learn jiu jitsu.

Great gym! Facilities are awesome. Coaches are great with the kids. Our 8 year old boy has been going for about 6 weeks and has learned so much more than Jiu Jitsu. Discipline, attention, respect, just to name a few. Highly recommended! What a great experience!

Awesome Welcoming Staff, Very Helpful and every one in the class was super cool. Super clean facility and professional.

Great gym with a full schedule of classes to fit anyone’s schedule! Passionate coaches with an interest in making all of their students highly skilled martial artists!

This is a wonderful Jiu-jitsu academy with wonderful coaches and people! The atmosphere is great. They offer a variety of class times. 5/5.

The Guardian team is amazing! There you see good examples of respect, friendships, partnerships and of course the best martial arts coaches. If you want to learn jiu-jítsu/ kickboxing with coaches who love what they are doing, this is the place.

Hands down the best jiujitsu academy in the state. Every instructor is knowledgeable and friendly. I give it a 10 out of 10

The Coaching staff has a well balanced approach for everyone, beginner to seasoned. Extremely fun and challenging classes with a very accommodating learning environment.

I love the facility and the people, coaches will always find a way to help you during class and after class. They have an amazing kickboxing and jiu jitsu classes. Thank you for making it possible for me to train this beautiful sports.

An amazing gym thats very welcoming to new people. All members are very friendly and willing to work with you.

We’ve been with Kevin and the crew for 4 years now and I can tell you it’s real and worth every dime and time.Both my girls have learned a ton and I feel confident in knowing these girls have the tools to defend themselves.The environment is nothing short of family. Positive encouragement and push are always on the mat.Love the new digs and look forward to my girls representing Guardian Jiu Jitsu on the mat, the street and in life. Thanks Kevin and crew!!!

Amazing place to train Jiu-Jitsu and kickboxing!! I love training there! Amazing staff and an amazing environment for training!

Just started at the Guardian Jiu-Jitsu academy and Im beyond impressed. The coaches were very welcoming and seem dedicated to there students. Will definitely be recommending.

The coaches are amazing! The teams amazing! At Guardian Jiu Jitsu you can tell all the people love the sport and the team treats each other and new comers like family. -Emma Warren

Awesome facility, Amazing coaches and Teammates. No matter the skill level, Guardian Jiu Jitsu has something to offer you. Hands down best gym I’ve trained at in the Holland area.

Great coaches, great school, great people all around!There is a reason why MMA fighters, military and police use concepts of Jiu Jitsu, or more specifically Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or BJJ....it actually works.I have been training with this school for over a year now and learned some valuable self defense concepts that will stay with me forever. But the thing about Jiu Jitsu is you never stop learning, there’s so many techniques and fine points to learn and that makes it rewarding and fun. Not to mention the comradery with the awesome people at this school, it’s easy to make friends here, advanced students are eager to help you out as well.So if you want to learn a real, practical martial art with great, laid back people at their nice & new larger facility, check them out. You can do free classes for a week I believe, that’s how I got hooked.-Kreg M.

Very knowagable instructors. Great atmosphere and very family friendly. Great for kids

Great atmosphere. Best martial arts gym serving the Holland area.

Ive trained at nearly a dozen different Brazilian Jiu Jitsu schools, and this school is right at the top. The instructors here, coach Kevin and coach Andy, are first rate. They are very personable, easily to talk to, and experts in their art. Most importantly, they know how to teach. The new facility is amazing, very spacious, with top of the line Zebra mats, locker rooms and showers. If youre considering starting BJJ, dont feel intimidated at all! This is the place for you!Im in my mid 40s and I train here regularly, as does my six-year-old son. He absolutely loves it. They really do a great job with their kids program. I look forward to training here for the as long as theyll have me!

I started Brazilian Jiu Jitsu in November of 2018. We are currently in the 3rd week of the new location, and it is amazing! The team at Guardian has become like family to me. They are open minded and respectful human beings. You can feel the passion in the air for this martial art, and they make it fun and exciting for all to experience. This is something that can be a lifelong journey. If you are looking for something fun, challenging, and rewarding to experience in life I would highly recommend coming and checking out the Guardian Jiu-Jitsu academy! :)

The coaches at Guardian Jiu-Jitsu are very dedicated and passionate.The training atmosphere is always fun and positive. The coaches have a different teaching style and approach, which caters to everyone’s needs and goals.

Great atmosphere, Great coaches, Great friends. Lots of Jiu jitsu knowledge and and lots of attention to techniques. I am very proud to be part of the Guardian Jiu Jitsu family!

Our family loves Guardian Jiu-Jitsu!! We ve never done anything like this before, its amazing!

We always leave smiling. Also the academy is very clean!! Clean mats, clean bathrooms, locker rooms, everything.
