ABOUT CENTERLINE JIU-JITSU CHANDLER

At Centerline Jiu-Jitsu, great instruction is the foundation of everything we do. Our instructors are not only highly skilled practitioners, but dedicated educators who understand how to teach Jiu-Jitsu in a way that is safe, structured, and accessible for students of all experience levels.

OUR FACILITY

Centerline Jiu-Jitsu Chandler operates out of a 3,400 square foot, purpose-built training facility designed for safety, focus, and comfort—for students and families alike.


At the heart of the academy is a large, fully matted training area with padded walls, giving students the space to train confidently while minimizing injury risk. The open layout allows instructors to clearly supervise classes and keeps parents connected to what’s happening on the mats without being in the way.


Our front lobby and viewing area offer ample spectator seating, making it easy for parents, family members, and guests to watch classes in a clean, welcoming environment. We also provide a dedicated sibling play area, so families with multiple children can relax knowing everyone has a place to be.


The academy includes an on-site pro shop stocked with uniforms, rash guards, and training gear, making it easy for students to get what they need without running all over town. Organized storage, clean restrooms, and thoughtful spacing throughout the facility help keep everything running smoothly—even during our busiest class times.


From the moment you walk in, our goal is simple:

a space that feels professional, calm, and intentional, where students can train hard, families feel welcome, and learning comes first.

Very friendly students and instructors! 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!

We have been going here for over 5 years with all of my kiddos, and I cannot say enough great things about the facilities and owners. What most people don’t realize is that jiu jitsu is about so much more than self defense or competition, it is about self control and discipline which kids desperately need. Highly recommend.

I’ve trained here for over 3 years and have truly enjoyed every step of the journey. The instructors at Centerline Jiu Jitsu Chandler are extremely knowledgeable in the art of jiu jitsu and are always pushing their students to improve, both technically and mentally. The environment is welcoming, and everyone on the mats is kind, respectful, and supportive. If you’re looking for a place to train jiu jitsu, I highly recommend you check us out.
