I began training martial arts in 2006 in Garden City KS with a small group of dedicated practitioners. After time we recognized our lack of affiliation and remote location was blocking our growth. In 2016 after a tremendous multi-year effort by Ty Brookover we were able to welcome Rafael Lovato Sr. to Garden City for the first time. Professor Lovato now travels to instruct us 2-3 times a month. In 2019 we were accepted into the Lovato Jiu-Jitsu Association. We remain a private, non-profit school.
