Happy birthday to a Coach who has been in our corner since we opened our doors in 2015! Thanks @ericguardian for bringing your dance moves, technical lessons, and contagious energy to every class. Beyond classes, Coach E volunteers weekly to work with our oldest sponsored 18+ students in the ring. We look forward to sharing more of these stories soon!

#repost @yo_soy_bbeto I believe that in life, we all have a time where we see our vision or goals fade away, lose momentum or even despair. That is what I experienced when @guardianbaltimore shut down due to COVID-19. Seeing an empty gym, missing the energy of adults and kids who started sharing the same enthusiasm I have for jiu-jitsu and it’s community.... Yesterday, after a year of silence, that energy bloomed and @guardianbaltimore had kids back on the mats. I cannot express the feeling that I felt by being there. Thank you to all that have supported us during this time, special thanks to @estefani_c2 & @coach.hall for believing in #guardianbaltimore and it’s mission. Now the real work begins of letting everyone know if what Guardian is about, the benefits of training jiu-jitsu and what will do for Baltimore’s youth and community. Let’s get kids on the mats!! OSs!!

Parking lot sessions with Coach @journeymangrappler Whether you train Jiu Jitsu or not, join Caleb for a conditioning class that will push your cardio. Thursday’s at 12pm!

Leaders become great not because of their power but, because of their ability to empower others. - John Maxwell Coach @muaythaiminded_mtm leading youth student Abdullah through his first Muay Thai class back in September

Kids putting in hard work as always #oakland

Kids and teens having the ability to train martial arts regardless of their families financial situations has always been at the forefront of our mission. This week we have expanded our youth program to Monday-Friday at 4:30pm. Our waitlist has been emptied and we are ready for more students. If you know a family that could benefit from their child exercising safely and learning martial arts feel free to share our information with them. We can’t wait to see our kids back in full effect in the coming months. Thanks to all the members and donors who make this kids program possible!

Confidence is backed by ability : 2019

For many January is a time to reflect on the past year and make adjustments. Building back our youth program since July, we have moved the program outside with distance between partners along with other safety precautions. If anything, we learned that kids exercising and socializing safely is extremely needed. We are excited to announce that starting next week we will be adding Youth Self Defense classes Monday through Friday at 4:30pm! These classes focus on providing a great workout incorporating fundamental boxing and Jiu Jitsu movements. @calder_powers
