BJJ in Garland

Garland's BJJ scene centers on **Kingdom Jiu-Jitsu**, a faith-based academy affiliated with the Lovato Jiu-Jitsu Association (LJJA) under world champion Rafael Lovato Jr. Owner-professors Eddie and Cristina Saenz lead a program that includes adults, kids, a women's-only class (Monday/Wednesday), and an intro adult track (Tuesday/Thursday); the bully defense program for younger students is prominently featured. Kingdom's 5.0-star rating across 129 reviews reflects strong community alignment in Garland's residential base. The city's other gym in the directory is Becerra Judo Club, a pure judo school led by 9th-degree black belt (Kudan) Humberto Becerra — one of only three Kudan in the world as of 2020 — which is not a BJJ program but is noted here for context.
