No words! This place exceeded my expectations and experience. They truly hold their values, standards and passion to a new level. Thank you to Alex and her team for making this event one to remember. We will absolutely be back!!

I train at gracie barra awhtuckee. Gracie barra chandler is the sister school. The professors are brothers so we are connected with each other when it comes to training. Both schools are awesome. All the professors at gb chandler are high level. All have competed in major competitions. Kids class are great as well. Adult classes are great for beginners to get introduced to the move movements and techniques before you are ready to start sparring. I high recommend taking a class. First class is always free.

When we lived in gilbert about 4 years ago, all my kids were enrolled at this location. Professor Paulo was so wonderful. A natural ability to teach kids and so patient. The facility was always VERY clean. I have been searching for anything similar in Utah since our move and there is NOTHING like this place that I have ever been able to find. Typically the teachers can be too harsh/aggressive verbally with the kids, the places are not very clean and the classes are PACKED. If your debating enrolling your kids at this location, PLEASE DONT. It does not get better than Chandler Gracie Barra with professor Paulo.

This is one of the best gyms I have ever trained in. Professor Piu, and coaches are super personable, knowledgeable, and technical. You’re also not just another number in the gym. You’re greeted by name. The friendliness and respect is the general culture of the gym. Upper belts aren’t there to smash newer students, but are quick to teach and help develop proper technique.

This is also a great gym for children. My 6-year-old son loves it, and continually looks forward to his next class.

I highly recommend this gym.

Gracie Barra changed my life! Everyone here treats you like family and you will make friends on the Mats very fast. The coaches and the professor are amazing, genuine people. You will improve very fast if you are dedicated to the sport and you love to learn. I have been going here for 8 months and I have never been a part of a family like this and my Jiu jitsu has improved a lot. Amazing school, highly recommend.

Our daughter has been here for almost three months now (she’s 5 years old). I cannot truly express how amazing this class is for her self-esteem and for our piece of mind. I have to admit I was slightly nervous sending my daughter into a ju jitsu class, but the confidence and skill she has gained in just that short time has made me realize she is so much more capable than I thought. After having paid for so many other sports in the past I can tell you no one has yet to surpass the amazing professor and coaches she had here at Gracie Barra. We are forever grateful for the work they’ve put in to teach our daughter.

Matt B

Brought my 7 yr old to a class to see if she would like it. She got very scared and nervous despite her original excitement for it.

The professor spent 5 min during class to ease her concerns and got her on the mat, then a second professor spent another 20 min during class talking to her and helping her understand and trust the situation.

Long story short, their care and time they took to help her feel comfortable will not be something that I will forget.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a business be that caring to a child in my life. Saturdays are roll with parents day and she is very excited for it…
