Guardian Jiu-Jitsu

Our mission is simple: to build the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in the state of Michigan, while serving our community of the greater Holland area. Guardian Jiu-Jitsu serves adult students of all ages and abilities (both men and women), as well as children ages 6 and up. As a martial artist, you have many choices when it comes to selecting a gym at which to train.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (also commonly known as "BJJ, " "Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, " or just "Jiu-Jitsu") is a martial art that focuses on grappling to establish dominant control of an opponent, and the use of submission holds to force an opponent to "tap out." It's founded on the concept that a smaller, weaker person can successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent.

The Guardian Jiu-Jitsu Kids Program offers Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training for children ages 6 to 15. We welcome kids of all skill levels, from experienced Jiu-Jitsu students, to complete beginners. Kids who train Jiu-Jitsu develop physical attributes, including balance, coordination and motor skills.

The Guardian Kickboxing Program offers training for teens and adult men and women, ages 16 and up. We welcome students of all skill levels, from experienced kickboxers, to complete beginners. Our kickboxing program stresses fundamentals, and is an excellent complement to Jiu-Jitsu training. Plus, it's a fun and intense workout!

Our M9 classes combine the science of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) with cast-iron kettlebells to give you a fun, intense workout that gets results fast. But since the M9 Fitness System was designed to be scalable, it's also an ideal way for anyone to build muscle, burn fat, and look and feel their best.
