The Art of Guardian Art

Decades of high-level Full Contact Kickboxing, Mixed Martial Arts, Parkour, and Ninja Warrior style competitions have proven Guardian Art to be an elite self-defense & fitness discipline. With our unique Heritage of creating the “Guardian’s Game” the game that modern day Lacrosse descends from, is a great example of the diversity of Guardian Art. The Guardian Game consisted of full contact fighting infused with our traditional spirit running, along high level teamwork community building skills, trained very powerful Guardians for generations of millennia’s and counting.

​

In modern laymen’s terms there are four disciplines that are needed to be successful in a hand to hand combat situation. They include boxing, muay thai, wrestling, and jiu-jitsu.

Guardian Art Ancestry

 

Guardian Art | Art of the Hero descends from the galaxy within - Great Owl Lightning.

 

It's origin is in the wilderness of the stars. On Earth, the medicine bundle of Guardian Art can be traced back over 10,000 years ago in the Dawnland – Wabanakek, which is known as present day New England in the USA and the Maritimes in Canada. Guardian Art has a vast heritage and creation story, since time immemorial, Guardian Art’s purpose was to create the spirit and mind of a Guardian in individuals to protect oneself, community, and the earth. It incorporates full contact fight training with our traditional spirit running. Guardian Art is the art that founded “the Creator's | Guardian's Game” (the original game of lacrosse).

 

Our curriculum rewilds the Guardian Spirit in individuals by teaching students to be a medicine for the earth and not to be a sickness to it. Guardian Art has proven through its generations to improve the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health of our student’s overall confidence and wellbeing. Our dream is to return the medicine of the Starcadian Knights and create a community of guardians committed to protecting our relations, communities, and our Earth.

 

Let’s rewild for the Starcadian Knights | Guardians of the Wild Prime for our future.
