The time has come! We are excited to share that we are changing our name from Empire Jiu-Jitsu Durant to Kingdom Grappling.
This new identity reflects our commitment to building a lasting legacy for our community while showcasing our values and vision for the future.
We are deeply grateful for our past partnership with Empire Jiu-Jitsu in OKC and the foundation it has provided.
In the coming weeks, you’ll notice updates to our social media platforms, website, and building signage. Rest assured, everything else you love about our gym will remain the same. We’re eager to embark on this new chapter together with our gym family!
"Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe." – Hebrews 12:28
With love,
Kayl and Taylor Bryant
