Gracie Barra Chandler Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

“I’ve been training at Gracie Barra Chandler for 10 months doing the women’s classes, and it’s been an amazing experience. From day one, I’ve felt welcomed by both the staff and the community, which has made it easy to stay consistent with my training. Alex, the women’s coach is incredibly dedicated to our growth and takes the time to really get to know each of us, offering personalized guidance and support. My daughter whose a toddler tags along, and I’m so grateful for the kindness she receives from both the other kids and the staff. The positive atmosphere and the friendships I’ve built along the way have made this more than just a gym – it’s a place where we truly feel like part of a family. Highly recommend for anyone looking to grow, learn, and be part of an amazing community!”

“Training at Gracie Barra in Chandler has been an incredible experience for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone considering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The instructors are passionate, experienced, and truly dedicated to helping students grow both on and off the mats. They follow a structured curriculum that makes learning clear and effective, whether you’re a beginner or more advanced. The gym itself is always clean and well-maintained, creating a safe and welcoming space to train. I also love the sense of community here—everyone is supportive, encouraging, and respectful. It’s a great environment for families too, with classes for kids, adults, and even fitness-focused programs like BarraFIT. What really sets Gracie Barra apart is their global network. Knowing I can train at any of their locations worldwide is a huge bonus. Whether you’re looking to learn self-defense, get in shape, or be part of an amazing group of people, Gracie Barra Chandler is the place to be. I’m so glad I chose to train here!”

“Going on almost 2 years, I have been challenged and supported by the amazing GBF (women’s classes) here at GBJJ in Chandler. It’s impacted my day to day and helped me prioritize my health to continue keep strength training even outside of classes. Everybody loves our coach Alex and the friendships that we’ve built! My two girls also attend the kids classes here and they love the friendships they’ve made, they’ve also been challenged in their physical abilities and have shown incredible progress.”

“Great experience all around at GB Chandler. I have moved around with work through the years and have trained at number of different schools, with varying styles of sport and self defense jiu jitsu. Professor Piu does an amazing job teaching the fundamentals of BJJ to beginners and preparing his higher level students for competition. The environment is friendly & positive, and the staff and students are all very supportive and encouraging. The youth classes are great for all ages and the kids competition team competes with success all over the world. I highly recommend Gracie Barra Chandler to any person or family looking to try jiu-jitsu.”

“I have trained at Gracie Barra Chandler, and saying this is a home away from home is an understatement. My two children and I have trained here for 5 years, and the community around this school is beyond what you could ask for. The school offers classes every day of the week, and all levels are from beginner to advanced to competing professionals. You also have the head Professors Paul “Piu” Eduardo and Lucas Castro, who have a wealth of love and knowledge to give. With two daughters who train, nothing makes me happier than being able to sit down and talk jiu-jitsu with them. It has really helped find something my family can bond over.”
