The Praxeum - Parkour x MMA

One of the best programs for my 10 year old!! There's nothing else like this.Since being part of The Praxeum (Guardian), my son is motivated to make progress, can regulate his own emotions with kids at school, not only stands up to …

My son loves it here! He says he enjoys the challenge, the workout, and making friends. He really likes the combination of parkour and grappling/sparring, it is a very unique setup. The instructors focus a lot on teaching safety techniques …

Our 13-year-old son began taking classes at Guardian Art in Fremont in August 2021. He is now continuing classes at the San Jose location. In the last two years, I have seen him grow by leaps and bounds. His confidence has increased so much, as has his resilience. The instructors have such an incredible way of encouraging students to strive for their best, work hard without giving up, and provide unwavering support for one another. They also work hard to give back to the Indigenous community, which is a wonderful example to set for young people. After years of trying various extracurricular activities, it was Guardian Art that ended up being what my son loves. Learning to do many difficult kinds of flips has been his favorite part! It was really the first time that he was willing to work hard for something for an extended period of time. Our family is so grateful for Praxeum!

Kids love it and families recommend it !!I strongly recommend it to all families who are looking for an overall fitness program for kids. The classes are a unique blend of parkour and MMA and teaches life skills like discipline, courage and gratitude with rigor and fun. The instructors (Commanders) are very experienced, knowledgeable, disciplined and make every session a great learning experience !!My daughter, who is six years old now, has been taking classes at this institute for over 2 years now. The Guardian Art institute was in Fremont and has now moved to San Jose as Praxeum (Guardian Arts). And we commute from Fremont to benefit from its offerings. The training and teachings has benefited her in gaining physical strength, becoming mentally strong and a team player. She is being taught to be courageous, have gratitude, and care for everyone..

The Praxeum teaches Guardian Art, a fusion of disciplines similar to martial arts and parkour, rooted in indigenous heritage and clan medicines. It’s all about protecting others, descending from Guardians across tribes who protected their people. They basically train you to be a ninja, training inner strength and transformation, focusing and growing those feelings of care and appreciation, bringing these into training to protect the things you care about. Very inspiring and fun place to be a part of if you’re passionate about self-development, movement, free running, or martial arts. This is also an amaaaaaaazing place for kids to develop great values, empathy, courage and etc. early on in life.

We’ve been apart of the Praxeum (formerly known as Nexus) Guardian Art family for under a year. Our son has improved his self confidence, developed his physical and mental strength, he’s more disciplined, and we couldn’t be more grateful for all the commanders who’ve guided him in the short period of time. Happy to be apart of the this community!

My kids were students at the former NXGA location in Fremont for the past 18 months. I love the structure of the classes and interaction with the commanders. My children find the instruction and class content to be much more engaging, fun, and challenging than similar “ninja” programs. We’re happy to continue lessons at the new studio “The Praxeum” in San Jose! Can’t wait to start recruiting our friends in the South Bay 😄
