Guardian Project is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization based in Oakland, CA, dedicated to providing accessible martial arts and fitness training to both kids and adults. With a focus on boxing, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and kickboxing, Guardian Gym offers free and discounted classes for children, as well as affordable options for adults. The organization's mission is to ensure that underserved youth have equal opportunities to participate in after-school programs, with martial arts serving as a powerful tool for personal growth and empowerment.

Guardian Project operates globally, with academy locations in Baltimore, East Bay, Greenwich, LA, Maui, Mongolia, Monterey, Mt. Hood, Northwest Arkansas, and Peru. Through partnerships with reputable academies, Guardian Project is able to offer free youth Jiu Jitsu scholarships, bypassing overhead costs and directly supporting young participants.

By receiving the same benefits as paying members, students gain access to self-defense skills, positive adult role models, and a supportive peer group.
