What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Victoria Molano
"Our whole family — my husband, our four kids, and I — trains at Gracie Barra Chandler, and it’s honestly been one of the best decisions we’ve made. We drive nearly 40 miles each way just to train here, and it’s 100% worth it. After training elsewhere, we instantly felt the difference. The environment, structure, and genuine care from the professors and coaches truly set this gym apart. My oldest has always loved Jiu-Jitsu, but my younger two didn’t show much interest until we came to this school. Now they look forward to class, adore their coaches, and my second son recently earned his first belt promotion — which was such a proud moment for our family. The community is welcoming, and the level of training is top-notch. My son who competes has grown so much in both skill and confidence. I’ve also become more consistent in my own training thanks to the support and encouragement from the coaches. Whether you’re just starting out, looking for a hobby, or pursuing competition — there’s a place for you here. Gracie Barra Chandler isn’t just a gym, it feels like home."
Katarina Pena
"Absolutely love this school! My whole family has been training BJJ for a couple of years and GB Chandler is the best! The Professors and Coaches are amazing, always providing the best experience, teaching techniques with great detail. The kids competition team is a very high-level competition team that will challenge and improve your kids’ skills and performance. We drive 60 miles each way 3 days a week to be able to train here!"
Denise Lopez
"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!"
Raekel Santos
"My eldest daughter has been training here for the past three years and she has loved gleaning from the amazing professors and coaches. The school instills a sense of discipline, responsibility, confidence, strength, and pride for their own improvements as well as their fellow jiujitsu teammates. This place is like a second family for us."
