Very friendly students and instructors! As a part of the combatives program, it's nice to get the same lesson from different instructors to gain different perspectives and details. If you love to learn and want to gain some practical skills, this is a great place to do it. New students are paired with more experienced students to help everyone learn and stay safe! I'm excited to come every time and am looking forward to spending a lot of time here!

i am so grateful that i came across this program on instagram for lessons for my munchkin! they offer amazing classes for children and adults but we signed up after the first free lesson. we instantly knew we were in great hands and my son just fell in love with the class right away. the instructors are soooo welcoming and i love the family feel they provide customers. i am so pleased with my sons lessons and i can already tell the difference just one month in when it comes to his patience and discipline. $100 a month for a class once a week is so wonderful and worth the investment in your child ♥️

I only attended for the summer months but I could not have had a better experience. Coaching staff was friendly, patient, and focused. Classes were a perfect split of practice and instruction for anyone looking to learn the correct safe way. Classmates (both higher level and lower) were always kind and never came off demeaning or frustrated. The school as a whole was always clean, no weird smells. Overall I would recommend this place to anyone interested in Jiu Jitsu. The only barrier of entry may be the cost but relative to other schools, GJJ is cheap for the quality of learning and coaching.

Life is a journey Not a destination

I have been attending lessons at Gracie Jiu-jitsu Chandler for about 6 weeks now. I was attending another 'Gracie' branded frachise previously for 6 months. As a Gracie Jiu-jitsu fan and follower I can tell you that Gracie Jiu-jitsu Chandler is the 'real deal'. The instructors at Gracie Jiu-jitsu Chandler are AMAZING! They have the same passion for spreading the authentic Gracie Jiu-jitsu system as it was designed by Helio and Rickson. If you're looking for the authentic Brazilian Jiu-jitsu experience don't hesitate to start your journey at Gracie Jiu-jitsu Chandler. UPDATE: 9 months later Amazing experience. I have learned so much from the amazing instructors at Gracie Jiu-jitsu Chandler. Whenever I go on vacation or get the urge to try out other local jiu-jitsu schools it just keeps reaffirming the authenticity of the instruction I receive from Gracie Jiu-jitsu Chandler. If you want a competition school this may not be your cup of tea but if you want to learn to effectively defend yourself then run don't walk to Gracie Jiu-jitsu Chandler!

I can't say enough about my experience at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Chandler. From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. The coaches here are truly exceptional, not only in their expertise but also in their approachability and dedication to each student's progress. The environment at Gracie Jiu Jitsu Chandler is top-notch. Safety is paramount, and every session is meticulously structured to ensure that all participants can learn and train effectively while minimizing the risk of injury. Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience in martial arts, you'll feel comfortable and supported here. What sets this place apart is how seamlessly they blend the serious art of self-defense with an incredibly fun and engaging workout. Trust me when I say that every class feels more like a thrilling challenge than a mundane workout routine. There's something uniquely satisfying about mastering techniques that not only improve your physical fitness but also equip you with invaluable self-defense skills. If you're looking for a place to learn Jiu Jitsu in a welcoming and encouraging environment, Gracie Jiu Jitsu Chandler is the place to be. Give it a try, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I started September 2022 and every time I come into Jiu-Jitsu no matter what mood I’m in, or whether I’ve had a crappy week, I always come out the same; I should be a better person. I should treat people better even the people that I don’t like. I have this universal connection with some spirit telling me do better. let’s try to look up towards aiming higher Whatever that higher means is unknown, but striving to be a better person after every class. And I have not been a good person alot of my life far from it. And simply makes you a better person. I think the whole world could use a lot of bit of this.

I am so grateful that we tried something new. This investment is really paying off in how our daughter sees herself, and now she can defend herself against her quarrelsome little sister without hurting either of them :) it’s a win-win!

Highly recommend the kids classes! We have been bringing our daughter here for almost 3 years. With plans to add younger sibling when they are old enough. The kids classes are great, coach Michael is fantastic keeping the kids engaged, and keeping it fun! We checked out other locations, closer ones, and those locations had all ages in one class. Those locations seemed to have a hard time keeping the kids attention. I like this location, they break kids classes into two groups with plans to add a toddler class! The verbal teaching is fantastic, to communicate before resorting to self defense. Unfortunately my child has had to use this a couple times, each time ended at the Talk - Tell and never got to Tackle stages. There is even a little play area. This has been a life saver keeping younger siblings entertained during class.

I have attended Gracie jiu-jitsu Chandler for several months and have had an overwhelming positive experience. I have made friends and developed my martial art skills with the help of all the wonderful and passionate Instructors at the school. The classes are diverse ranging from old to young with a healthy mix of all genders and body types. All kinds of people are welcomed and are able to fit right in. New people acclimate incredibly quickly to the program and are welcomed right away. BJJ is also great exercise and is fun while you do it. The education of BJJ is very dynamic in the sense that two white belts may be on a different Journey. one may be on there first class another is ready to qualify for their Combatives belt and the instructors do a really good job at differentiating every single persons skill level and instructing them to their specific needs. I have felt nothing but welcomed and have grown significantly over the past several months with no prior martial art experience. I feel like I have practical self defense skills to protect myself thanks to all the instructors the system and the students. The Gracie system is focused on technique over throwing you right Into the fray. That being said here at Gracie jiu-jitsu Chandler the system is designed to give you real life practical knowledge and the education system is focused on practical application of skill and not just theory. This has made it incredibly easy to pick up on as classes are not just teaching theory of BJJ instead getting up to speed and drilling right away with instructors at the ready to help with any and all questions. this is not a school that’s going to show you something once and throw you into to a drill without preparing you first . Instead the instructors are going to break down the Nuances of a technique and the do’s and don’ts and most importantly the why’s and why nots and are open to all and any questions. The instructors are connected With the Gracie academy and the instructors stay certified with the Gracie system ensuring their knowledge base is always up to date and sharp. I feel like I am getting a Premier Jui-jitsu experience with every class and have a blast each time I attend.

After 7 years in traditional Korean martial arts I've always wanted to try my hand at jiu jitsu and the ground game. I started by signing my son up to get a feel for the school and instructors. Coach Michael is amazing with the kids and that's what sold me. I then signed up for a trial and have thoroughly enjoyed the classes and all of the instructors are great practitioners and teachers. I've since been a member for a month and am learning a great deal. Also, my son loves it as well. While the martial art i practiced before provided pivotal self defense knowledge, it was lacking ground combat. And given most altercations end up on the ground it's vital to have at least a basic understanding of this aspect of self defense. Only positives to note, no negatives whatsoever. -Nick

Having a great experience at Gracie Jiu-Jitsu. Great environment for learning. It's defensive training not fighting. All the teachers and students are really nice and welcoming. Everybody wants you to learn. It's not an ego trip to outdo somebody. You get to see the move demonstrated several times from different angles then you get to practice it with a partner. Its taking me a bit to get the hang of some of it because I am totally new to martial arts but all the guys I have partnered with have been patient and helpful for me to learn. This Groupon deal is a no brainer great deal. You get the uniform to keep and unlimited training for a month to really try it out to see if its something you want to continue with. My wife, son and daughter have all been taking these classes too and we all like it and look forward to learning more.

If you're looking for a place to train for real life scenarios, this is the place to go. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to effectively and efficiently defend themselves. Extremely knowledgeable instructors break each technique down and works with every student. This is an all inclusive program that works for anyone. The atmosphere here is very friendly to all walks of life, and people from every profession train here, including game designers, construction, law enforcement, nurses, business owners, etc. While the techniques and fundamentals here can be used in competition, that's not the focus of the training at the start, but is taught once you've shown mastery of the fundamental techniques. So if your intent is training for mma or other competitions, I'd recommend calling ahead and speaking with Michael. Overall, i have loved every second training here.

As a female practicing BJJ, it can sometimes be hard to find a place you truly feel comfortable. Some places offer female only, but I still wanted to practice taking down someone larger and/or stronger than myself. Michael, the owner, and instructors Matt and Ashley are seriously a dream when it comes to staff. They were very empowering and took my self-defense minded approach very seriously and always there with a helpful tips or explanation. I really enjoy the class set-up and flow. I highly recommend this dojo as a starter gym for any female looking to get into BJJ and/or just self defense techniques. They are not cardio-heavy like some other gyms and focus on technique and mastery of the skills and body placement. It's not just an self-proclaimed BJJ expert deciding on your skill or belt color, it's a very planned out curriculum that makes belt movement standard and fair.

I've been going to Quest for a little under a year now and could not be any happier with it. I looked at several different martial arts gyms before I settled on Quest. In fact, I wasn't even really interested in BJJ specifically, but I figured I'd give it a try since they offered a free trial. After my trial I decided to stick with them, because the level of care was more than the other gyms, and they were all very knowledgeable. As a woman, it can be tricky to find a place to do a mixed gender sport with full body contact and still feel safe and comfortable. I have not had to worry about that here. All of the staff make it clear that you can speak up at any time if you are feeling uncomfortable or uncertain with anything. The instructors here are all very personable and they take the time to learn your name, what you're up to, etc. I have learned a lot since I've started going here, and I think they do a good job making this sport applicable to real life as well. I'm not one to shell out for physical activity (I have a gym I can go to for free), but Quest is honestly worth every penny. I would highly recommend giving them a try.

This dojo has the best instructors! All the staff and students are all really great people. I highly recommend this dojo to anyone who brings up martial arts around me. :) Quest changed my life! I went in with my husband (who is also a student there) and by his second class I joined up. Matt, Ashley, and Michael were wonderful and helped me find ways to adjust things as needed. You see, I have Cerebral palsy. It is a mild case but it affects my balance, strength, and flexibility. I was nervous I couldn't do it, but they did not let me give up. I am glad they didn't because I did it!! I even graduated to my next belt! We had our kids join also. They adore Matt and Ashley! My kids see them as chosen aunt and uncle. I am so happy they have such wonderful people to look up to. They are so good with kids! They haven't worked with Michael much but what little they have, they did enjoy. My oldest thinks his girls "are the coolest". Please don't hesitate to join our ninja family. You will not regret it!!

I started taking my son to this place since it was on Groupon. So my expectations were not too high nor I knew what I was trying to get out of it. The orientation given by Ashley helped me understand Martial arts and it’s need. The first few classes led by Matt and Ashley were so phenomenal that I enrolled by son permanently. I have been so happy about my decision on this. My son loves taking these classes. I have seen a huge change in my 6 year old confidence and endurance. The classes also tries to make families part of the learning and goes beyond just Martial arts since it talks about Ninja core values like self discipline, Focus and Respect etc which are critical to anyone’s life. I would encourage anyone at any age group to take a class with Matt and Ashley and I can bet that you are going to love it and learn from it.

Not a day goes by where I am not proud to be a small part of this school. Seven years has given me the amazing experience of getting to know-and growing with- some of the best people on this planet...seven years of exploring and discovering what we are truly capable of. New faces are welcomed immediately. As a long time student, I can say that it is so amazing and rewarding to see someone transform right there on the mats. The best part of it is witnessing the ecosystem of students helping other students become stronger and better than they were. We all step on the mat feeling slightly unsure of ourselves, but because we are surrounded by supportive staff and training partners, we soon find ourselves eager to learn more...to push past those boundaries we started with, and embrace training philosophies that we might not have known about, had we listened to our fears in the beginning. And to be a part of that? I don't think there is anything better.

has been a year that I have been training in self-defense and due to my work schedule I can only go once a week but in just one year I have learned so much. I thought nothing has been sticking in my brain and I have been forgetting things that I have been taught however, it has been such an eye opener. For example when people try to scare me as a prank I now raise my hands up and I get my stance ready in defense mode and they are the ones that get scared. When I pump gas I take one card out from my purse, keys, hide my purse, take my phone and lock my doors then, when I pump gas I look around try to memorize what people look like and I am completely aware of my surroundings. I was never like that before. I would just shut the door leave my purse on the passenger chair and just pump gas and stare at my phone completely unaware of the world around me. At work I show apartments. I never leave my phone in the office. I bring my keys that is attached to my lanyard and my phone just because I can use my lanyard and keys to defend myself. I have never needed to go to that extreme but I have used “stop” “Back off” a few times that so far has worked along with calling the police. As a woman who always works alone and work long hours just to know that I have the knowledge to be aware of my surroundings and with the extra understanding and know how that I am learning it gives me confidence enough that if or when something happens in my life I have a fighting chance. I would say that I would recommend quest chandler martial arts not only will you gain new friends and family it will change your entire life. -Betsy Ponce

I have been going to classes at Quest Martial Arts for almost 3 months now, and I highly recommend it!* *If this seems a little TLDR for you, scroll to the bottom for basic points as why YOU should go to Quest Martial Arts It started out with me realizing that I HATE EXERCISING. No, seriously, it's monotonous and I can't stand it. It was a struggle forcing myself to go to the gym everyday, so I wanted to mix it up and do something with more purpose that isn't as boring. For a while I'd really been wanting to do karate. I'm not a huge sports person, and the idea of doing something that had milestones had a big appeal to me. So I opened up the old Google and looked at some reviews online. Quest Martial Arts came up highly reviewed so I decided to check it out and make use of their free trial! So my roommate and I came in and we were very impressed after even the first day! It's been 3 months and now we have our yellow belts, and we have no intention of stopping attending any time soon. Everyone is very friendly and you leave there every class feeling energized and confident! *** Here is why YOU should start going to To Shin Do classes right NOW: 1. It's a really close knit community! You are always working with new partners and making new friends. Woo, friendship! 2. This is not your regular karate class where there are like 30 people and you just do some redundant round house kicks! You are always working with partners and there are no boring sequences to memorize! It's self-defense that is applicable in the real world, which is awesome! 3. You build self-confidence and leave every day feeling great about yourself! I found that going to these classes has taught me DISCIPLINE and CONFIDENCE- helping me in more areas of my life than just karate! 4. You get to be a ninja! 5. The instructors are AWESOME. I always feel like they are invested in my progress and they make me feel confident that I can succeed. So at the end of the day, no more boring gym outings for me! I always look forward to my To Shin Do class! **************** **UPDATE** **************** It seems appropriate for me to update this review again, being I made it a few years ago now. I am STILL going to To-Shin Do twice a week. I can't believe it has been over a year! Looking back now I can really see where going to Quest Martial Arts Chandler has really impacted my day to day life. Here are the ways I have really changed in these last few years: • I carry myself better and use my body more effectively • I have more self-confidence • I generally feel more fit and healthy! I honestly couldn't recommend this place more. If you are looking for a way to really change yourself for the better, this is the place to do it!

I was visiting the area for a month and decided to try out this school after seeing all the great reviews it had. They exceeded my expectations. It's a tight knit family that is friendly and welcoming to all who walk through the door. The step-by-step breakdown of techniques are simple and easy to comprehend. The training partners and instructor Michael are all easy going with no egos, helpful and truly want to help you get better. They were very patient with me having never done BJJ before. I did 3 classes a week and always looked forward to each and every one of them. It was both fun and educational for me. I tried out their BJJ combatives program. It is geared more towards self-defense than competition. It makes sense if you don't want to waste your time learning rules for a sport your not going to compete in and just want to focus on actual self-defense. I was made to feel like I was part of the family. I would love to come back and train in the near future.

UPDATE: Still going strong with To-Shin Do and things have only gotten better. I am stronger in body and mind thanks to this class. Considering how few dojos there are for To-Shin Do, I consider myself very lucky to be nearby the one in Arizona, and whoever is reading this, please take advantage of the opportunity to train here! I started taking to-shin do because I wanted a workout that 1) I didn't dread and 2) had practical applications. I actually look forward to working out now, and the skills I learned in the first class made me feel confident that I could defend myself properly. I also feel truly welcome at the quest center -- the instructors are there to help and sincerely care about everyone. It is simply awesome and I hope more people will join!

Highly Recommend Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Chandler. We enrolled our two 6 year olds into Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Chandler Mighty Dragons program and they love it. The staff is friendly, and very patient with all of the kids. They do a great job at creating a fun safe environment for learning the basics of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

Quest Martial Arts in Chandler is a rare gem of a find! The Instructors and staff are top notch. Knowledgeable and friendly with a genuine passion for sharing what they know. The atmosphere is inviting and you are truly made to feel welcome. This place is such a breath of fresh air compared to most of the other training halls I’ve visited where its all very competitive with too much macho BS for my liking. Do yourself and your loved ones a favor by checking this place out!

I started training here about a month ago and already really enjoy it. The people and instructors are friendly and knowledgeable. The training is different from the karate I've done in the past, it is an interesting combination of striking, grappling and self-defense. I am looking forward to continuing my training.

Great place to learn Gracie Jiu Jitsu. Michael Stinson runs a safe, clean, and cooperative training facility where everyone feels welcome. The Combatives class provides a solid foundation for self-defense and fundamental jiu jitsu techniques. Plenty of opportunities to learn advanced techniques in the Master Cycle and optional no gi classes. Every membership includes access to Gracie University (online training resources) and the ability to train at any Gracie Certified Training Center in the world, so you get a lot of bang for your buck. If you want to learn jiu jitsu and have fun at the same time, this is the place for you.

I used to train here. Had my second back surgery and they didn't even bother to see how I was doing. If you really cared about your students ESPECIALLY if they are paying for classes then you would check to see how they are doing. I will NEVER go back here and I recommend finding another school. The current martial arts school I'm at actually treats me like family and I got my black belt through them.
