OUR STORY
We are a unique martial arts academy that strives for excellence in all that we do. We started Kingdom Jiu-Jitsu in a small church in Garland, Texas. The original members wanted to share the love of Christ with BJJ and MMA athletes, who were not always welcome in many traditional churches. We believe that Jiu-Jitsu is for everyone, regardless of age, gender, fitness, or experience. Our unique program is perfectly designed to build up a beginner with no experience. We are the only BJJ academy in the area that utilizes techniques and systems developed by World Champion Rafael Lovato Jr. We also have a logical system of promotion that utilizes a class-tracking system to track our students' classes and progression. Come in today and experience all that we have to offer.
I see a lot of Bible verses and references to Christianity. Are the owners of Kingdom Jiu-Jitsu followers of Christ?
Yes. The owners and many of the people who train at Kingdom Jiu-Jitsu are Christians who follow the teachings of Jesus. Our faith shapes how we coach: with patience, humility and respect, on and off the mat. Everyone is welcome, whatever their faith, age, fitness or experience, and we want every person who walks in to feel loved, valued and believed in.
MATTHEW 6:33
Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
