Gracie Barra Chandler Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Gracie Barra Chandler Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is a traditional gi-based academy serving Chandler, Arizona, under the well-established Gracie Barra system. The school offers a clear path for students of all ages, starting with fundamentals and beginner classes that give newcomers a strong foundation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. As students progress, they can move into advanced gi classes and take part in open mat sessions, which provide extra time for live training and technical development. For those interested in competition, the academy maintains a strong local presence and fields a kids’ competition team, with classes and coaching specifically for young athletes. The youth program is a major part of the academy’s identity, with separate classes for Tiny Champions (ages 3–4), Little Champions 1 (5–6), Little Champions 2 (7–9), and Juniors (10–15). These classes are structured to build confidence, discipline, and technical skills appropriate to each age group. For advanced kids and teens, there are invitation-only sessions and competition-focused training. Adults follow the Gracie Barra curriculum, progressing from fundamentals (GB1) to more advanced levels (GB2 and GB3), always with an emphasis on the technical details of gi jiu-jitsu. Women’s-only classes and a drop-in friendly policy make Gracie Barra Chandler accessible to a wider range of students, including travelers and those from nearby cities like Gilbert and Mesa. The facility features over 3,000 square feet of mat space, showers, and amenities for families, including a video area for parents. Throughout, the school keeps the focus on traditional Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in the gi, offering a structured environment for learning, training, and competition.
