Founded in 1954 by Sensei Mitsuho “Mits” Kimura (9th degree), the San Francisco Judo Institute has a long history dedicated to the teaching of Kodokan Judo to students of all ages (children and adults) and technical levels (beginner and advanced). Starting in April 2022, SFJI is proud to offer a variety of new activities including: jiujitsu, and zenbudokai aiki-jujitsu. We believe that this extended offering gives our members an opportunity to develop new skills that are in line with the values of judo.

​

Whether your goals are physical and mental health, learning a martial art or competing, we welcome prospective students to get in touch, sign-up or visit the dojo to watch a practice and chat with one of our instructors.
