Studio86 Jiu Jitsu

“My 12-year-old nephew Aaron was visiting San Francisco for a few weeks, and we were looking for activities for him to engage in. Coach Yukito and Flora welcomed Aaron to the studio; they even invited us to the annual summer picnic where the kids trained right by the Golden Gate Bridge. Aaron had a splendid time at the studio and the picnic. We know because he asked when he can visit San Francisco again and go to the classes. Though our experience was short, it was extremely positive, as we felt warmth and kindness from the owner and instructors. I highly recommend Studio 86 to everyone!”

Whether you're a complete beginner or a seasoned practitioner, this is the place to train. Coach Yukito has an incredible ability to break down techniques into clear, easy-to-understand steps, making even the most complex moves feel accessible. He also fosters an environment of mutual respect and support, where everyone—from first-timers to black belts—feels valued and encouraged. The gym itself has a strong emphasis on hygiene and safety. You can tell they care about maintaining a clean, professional space. The community here is equally amazing—no egos, just a group of people passionate about jiu jitsu and helping each other grow.

“I was looking to do some training while traveling in San Fransico, I found this awesome gym and I joined them for a open mats! Their team was awesome! Friendly and hospitable. Everyone was very friendly and skillful! I had a blast while there. As a competitive practitioner, there was many other competitive minded athletes to train with and get some very good rounds in. Everyone was very generous with their time and their knowledge. I highly recommend training with this team!”
