Kingdom Jiu Jitsu began as a small, passionate group training out of my garage in the aftermath of COVID-19. That core group's ties go even further back, as many have trained together since 2010.
What started as a way to connect and train quickly grew, leading us to utilize space at our friend’s CrossFit gym, Deep Roots Fitness in Hyde Park.
As our community expanded, so did our vision. It became clear we needed a space to call our own, and that’s when Kingdom Jiu Jitsu was born. Today, we continue to grow as a family, dedicated to fitness, self-defense, and personal growth.
