About Guardian Mixed Martial Arts
Guardian Mixed Martial Arts Academy has earned a reputation as a leader in the instruction of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). We offer effective, efficient, and fun martial arts training for all ages, and encouragement for all of our students to strive for their fitness and self-defense goals. Our students enjoy a camaraderie that comes from working and training with friends.
The owners of Guardian have intentionally created a family-friendly environment, which includes offering After School Programs for Murfreesboro-area school children. These programs provide a safe place for students after school, and an introduction to the discipline of martial arts.
As the headquarters of the Shawn Hammonds Jiu-Jitsu Association, and sponsor of its own MMA team, Guardian is also at the forefront of competition training for BJJ and MMA. Whether you are looking for a fun way to improve your physical fitness, increase your self-defense skills, or are focused on training for competition, we believe you’ll quickly feel a part of the Guardian family.
