We have loved this dojo. My 15 year old son has been going for the last 2 years and it has changed his life. He was struggling with relationships and the community has really helped him develop as an individual.

Great coaches with a safe and competitive culture. 10/10 would recommend both kickboxing and Jiu-Jitsu.

Best martial arts and combats sports gym around!

Great gym everyone is super inviting and the quality/skill taught here is world class .

I've been going for about a month and love it! The instructors are amazing, everyone is friendly and welcoming, and the facility is top notch! I highly recommend Guardian Jiu-Jitsu!

Amazing place for beginners and experts there is a wide range of skill level with coaches that really know what there doing

Guardian is the perfect gym if you’re looking for a fun, hard working, and supportive community. The coaches truly want to help you achieve your goals and make you better at whichever class you sign up for. I 100% recommend signing up for a free class to get a feel on how truly amazing this place is.

Great place to train. The coaches and students are always there ready to help.

Great new experience and new hobby to get into. Very friendly environment.

I wanted to change my weekly routine and Jiu Jitsu seemed like a great change! The coaches and everyone around have been awesome. Always patient but tough when needed, and always caring about our safety. Glad I chose Guardian to start my Jiu Jitsu journey!

I started my bjj journey at guardian a couple years ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I decided to move last summer and the cleanliness, atmosphere, and the passion of the coaching of guardian is unmatched. I couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Guardian has a welcoming environment. The instructors are approachable and are excellent at teaching BJJ to students at all skill levels. The gym is clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend them anyone wanting to try the sport or looking for a new place to train.

Large clean gym. Kevin is easily the most thorough, detailed coach I've worked with having been at a few gyms in the state. Our kids are loving the kids classes and it was pretty neat to take them to the first one and have a black belt leading the youngest group and working with the teens the next class. Great atmosphere, friendly, welcoming people of all ages!

This is the 3rd BJJ gym I have tried. It was the first one that felt welcoming. the beginner class teaches at a pace everyone can understand and the atmosphere is great

I started at Guardian a year ago and it has changed my life. Anger and stress were my biggest struggles. Because of Guardian I’m a calmer more peaceful person. Highly recommend this academy and martial art if you are looking for a challenge physically but also mentally. The coaches are fun, kind but most of all great leaders and examples for our community and youth.

A great place to learn. Staff and members are very welcoming. I would highly suggest training here.

Great gym for all levels of experience. Coach Kevin is a great guy & truly cares about his students. Jiu Jitsu is something I recommend anyone try & this is the perfect place to train.

Best decision to just show up. Tried a class having no experience prior. Coaches and students are the best. So much to learn and such a great combination of exercise, positive team environment, self improvement & more. Highly recommend

their instructor Kevin is laid-back / fun but hard working and very good grappler and also able to teach standing fight game!

The staff is very welcoming to new students. Kevin and staff are always paying attention and giving great advice if they see a technique done wrong and also show how to improve the current technique during our drills and rolling. They genuinely care about your safety, progression and passion in BJJ.

Friendly & clean gym! Great for all ages & staff is excellent!

The coaches are fantastic with the kids, they keep the kids safe and teach them well. Would recommend

We started my son here 10 months ago. The positive impact we have seen in him in so many ways is just unbelievable. The coaches are all great with the kids, and it shows. 10/10 would recommend them!

Guardian Jiu-Jitsu is AMAZING! Fantastic instructors! Classes are ran very well! Cleanliness! Positive atmosphere! Great people! Great prices and Great vibes! I will be signing up at Guardian Jiu-Jitsu!

Only good things to say. Everyone is inviting. The coaches are experts at what they teach and they are good teachers as well. You’ll gain more than skill by training here.

Many thanks to Kevin and the team at Guardian Jujitsu for allowing me to train with them while vacationing in Holland. The training was excellent, the people were very friendly and helpful, and the facility is beautiful. Guardian exemplifies perfectly the spirit of the ‘gentle art’.

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

Head instructor Kevin Irwin is the most encyclopedic, enthusiastic BJJ teacher I've had (and I've 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 technique's applicability in a given situation.

Head instructor Kevin Irwin is the most encyclopedic, enthusiastic BJJ teacher I've had (and I've 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 technique's 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. He's 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 you're planning on competing in BJJ, you're in great hands with him. If you're just looking to test your endurance and get in shape, you're still in great hands with him. The kids' program is the largest I've seen, which means that they're 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 I'm not usually able to make them. Which is a shame, because the coaches are great and the classes are awesome as well. That's about my only complaint about Guardian. Less

The coaches are top notch and actually care about you and your growth. My fellow students always challenge me but never put me in danger. To any fellow vets out there struggling with mental health this sport has helped control my demons and given me a healthy outlet. I honestly can’t say enough great things about this organization.

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

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

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

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 you're a beginner or already experienced.

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!

This place is absolutely amazing!!! The coach's are incredibly knowledgeable and take the time to make sure that you understand what they teach! You can't find a better place to train jiujitsu!

Guardian is the best Jiu-Jitsu/kickboxing gym. The coaches have incredible knowledge and are really good people as well, always truly caring about the students progress. It’s a great place with an amazing team.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Can't 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.

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

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

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.

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!

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 has a really good thing going that will keep me coming back. As an update: been doing this for over 2 years now and the above continues to be the case! Best Jiu Jitsu gym in west Michigan.

Best BJJ gym in West Michigan!

Been going for about two weeks, both the kickboxing and the BJJ classes. Everyone is friendly and it's 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.

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

Wonderful place to train. Coaches Andy and Kevin make you feel welcome from the very beginning. They are both outstanding instructors who truly love what they do. I would recommend this place for anyone, including someone in their 40s like myself to my first grade son, who also trains there.

Great workouts and great teachers.

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.

Best place I've 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 couldn't imagine training and developing my jiu jitsu anywhere else.

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

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!

The facility is clean and the coaches are very friendly and professional. I enjoy learning Kickboxing.

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

Great instruction, friendly atmosphere and an awesome workout. Highly recommended for people of all ages.

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

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.

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

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 women's only Jiu-Jitsu. You will Not regret checking this place out.

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!

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.

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. Less

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.

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.

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.

guardian jiu jitsu has a fun and positive atmosphere.

These coaches are just a joy to learn from! Super passionate, knowledgeable, and make the process fun for us newbs who don't know what we're doing yet. The whole environment that they've created is really welcoming. Everyone, including my fellow students are eager to help. 5 stars.

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

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.

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.

If your looking to learn jui jitsu definitely try this gym out very friendly people and kevin and andy are great coaches dont be intimidated or nervous about trying to learn this is a awsome place would give it 10 stars if it was possible to do so. Try it it will be glad you did!!!
