Our 3.5 year old loves the Mini's class! Coach provides an excellent balance of structure and play for the mini's where the kids are actually learning skills but having a lot of fun doing it. We initially weren't sure if the 30 minutes twice a week was right for our son's age, but it actually works really well. Highly recommend!

We LOVE Studio86! Coach Yukito, coach Flora and the entire team are incredibly patient and skilled instructors who make BJJ fun for kids. My 3 kids ages 6,10, and 14 has gained so much confidence and discipline since joining. The classes focus on age-appropriate movements, using games and engaging activities to teach techniques, making it more like playtime than serious training. The atmosphere at Studio86 is very welcoming, like a big family. Everyone, from the coaches to the other students, is very supportive and helpful. We are so happy we found this studio! It's a fantastic place for kids to learn BJJ, build confidence, and have a great time.

Studio86 is an amazing gym and a great environment to learn in! Coach Yukito creates a welcoming and exciting atmosphere for training. He makes sure everyone stays engaged, is always learning something new, and feels supported, whether you’re interested in competing or simply looking for a place to train. Everyone here is friendly and eager to help. Even on my first day, Coach Yukito and the other students were willing to walk me through techniques and exercises, offering helpful pointers along the way. I highly recommend this gym to anyone who wants to learn jiu jitsu alongside a group of passionate and supportive individuals!

I came to Studio 86 as a complete beginner at the beginning of last year and was welcomed in the community with open arms. Yukito is a fantastic coach and mentor pushing his students to learn more and up their game. He provides opportunities to compete, but also allows you to train to whatever your ambitions are. I always felt safe rolling at Studio 86, and genuinely enjoyed the friends and connections I made with the community there. If you are considering checking it out, I highly recommend messaging Yukito through the website, and dropping in for a training session!

HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE! So glad I found this place and was able to train here whilst I was visiting SF. Studio 86 BJJ is one of those rare gyms that instantly feels like home. It has a real neighbourhood vibe, is super welcoming with friendly training partners, and an atmosphere that makes you want to come back. At the same time, it’s a high-level academy with clean, well-maintained, very clean facilities. Yukito, the instructor, has competed at a very high level, is extremely technical, and I learned so much from him even in just five sessions. I also tried another gym in SF, but it didn’t come close to the open and inviting culture that Studio 86 offers.
