Guardian Gym

Guardian, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is committed to providing free youth jiu jitsu scholarships to underserved youth around the world.

We are dedicated to offering children year-round stability and consistency through our programs, focusing not just on their physical transformation, but also on fostering positive friendships, mentorship opportunities, and a secure environment during challenging times. By partnering with established and trustworthy academies, donors can trust that a minimum of 85% of their contributions directly fund the scholarships they support.

What we do:

1. We partner with existing academies to bring our scholarship to youth that need it most. This approach allows donations to go far as our partnered academies already have overhead costs covered through their existing memberships.

2. We fully sponsor both Guardian Peru projects to provide training and required gear for their 80+ enrolled youth students in Mancora and Lobitos.

3. We provide an inclusive environment for youth regardless of their physical capabilities and believe jiu jitsu should be for everyone.

4. Guardian operates without any bjj or political affiliation. Our focus is helping young people train jiu jitsu.
