Unity Jiu Jitsu School

Unity Jiu Jitsu School in New York has grown into one of the city’s best-known competition academies since opening in 2015. The school’s official history connects its coaching roots to the Yamasaki Academy and highlights a record of developing world champions across multiple belt levels. Unity’s identity is built much more around elite sport jiu jitsu than around a franchise system or self-defense curriculum. The academy trains both gi and no-gi and includes fundamentals, kids and women’s programs, MMA crossover and open mat. Its Chelsea location attracts a mix of local students, visiting grapplers and serious competitors, while the gym’s history is closely associated with athletes from the Cicero Costha lineage and the modern international competition scene. For someone training in New York specifically to experience a high-level competition room, Unity belongs on a different shortlist from recreational neighborhood academies. Its relatively young history, concentration of elite competitors and central Manhattan location have made it one of the most recognizable modern BJJ schools in the city.
