Martial Arts Schools in San Francisco

“We can't say enough about our experience as parents with Ralph Gracie Sunset. If you are looking to instill discipline, respect and self confidence in your child, then this is the right place for you. Coach Renan is extremely dedicated to bringing out the best in your child by developing strong listening and communication skills, physical agility and teamwork. They always make sure your child is in a safe and respectful environment, immediately resolving any class distractions - which sometimes includes overly excited parents. Our son is 5 years old and loves going to jiujitsu at Ralph Gracie Sunset!!“

“SF Judo Institute is a stellar place to learn Judo & Jiu Jitsu. Our 7 year old son has been taking classes there for about 6 months, and we are super impressed with the skill level of the instructors, the structure of the classes, and the overall vibe. It is very community oriented and fun. We checked out 2 other martial arts places near us and this one was by far the best across the board- price, quality and location. Highly recommend it!“

“My nephew loves it, the class is always different so the children don't get bored and learn, in addition to karate, they are taught discipline, cleanliness, respect, order, punctuality. Very professional!“

“I've been coming here for Muay Thai since 2020. The facilities are clean, the instructors are excellent and really care about the students, and it's a wonderful community. I highly recommend checking out this gym, and they also have fundamental classes for beginners. Great place to go whether you just want a great workout or go deeper in learning about martial arts.“

“Family friendly coaching atmosphere. Great place to start the fencing journey for our son. They keep him engaged and interested.“

“I've been training here for years. I love the art but more than that I love Jimmy our Sensei. I've made wonderful friends through the years and feel like Norm from Cheers when I come in and everyone knows my name. The place is welcoming, overly clean and it's a great art you can do for the rest of your life.“

“Earlier this year, I was healed of a circadian rhythm disorder by a naturopath. I could tell that my kidneys were involved , so I decided to fine tune my kidney health via acupuncture (kidneys control sleep in TCM), and that's when I began working with the aptly-named Charity. It was a great decision. She taught me to drink way more than I thought was necessary, to do moxa on myself, and to drink nettle leaf infusions from time to time to tonify my kidneys. A few years ago, a psychic told me that someone who owes me money will pay me back, and when they do, I was to spend it on "pleasure." So, when my former boss paid me some back wages, I had Charity do a 12-session facial rejuvenation package on me, as well. The effect of this treatment-- like ironing out the dents-- is subtle and takes time; I think it may be working even after the sessions are completed. A couple of weeks after the last session, I met a man, who happens to be half my age, and we are now in a relationship. Thank you, Charity!It's always lovely to have a great, caring healer to help you feel your best physically and emotionally. Besides all that, I felt like Charity became my friend. We laughed a lot! She was generous with her knowledge and time when possible (Wednesdays) and I learned a lot from her. Ladies, listen to Charity's videos on her webpage. If you feel like you resonate with her thought process, you owe it to yourselves to experience Charity helping you to be your best.“

“Yes, Sifu Zhong is a great person as well as an accomplished martial arts instructor. His staff is easy to workout with and his gym has everything you need to get a great workout!“

“The gym is pretty big, clean and they got everything a mma needs and the air conditioning is also good. I went for bjj and muy Thai since a co worker recommend the gym and it was free. I can't complain I had fun and the coach there are good people and legit. The only part I would be worried about is finding parking. If you want to drop by and try a class the 1st class is free.“
