"We have had our son at Chandler Judo since Kindergarten, and the difference in him is real. He went from shy and low confidence to focused, respectful, and confident. This isn't just a kids activity — the coaching is structured and high level. The after-school program alone (pickup, education, training) makes life easier as a parent, but the character development is what matters most. I HIGHLY recommend."
"We enrolled our kids at Chandler Judo Academy back in 2020, hoping to help them build more self-discipline and self-control. What we found was so much more than we ever expected. From the very beginning, Sensei Carrie welcomed us in like family. Her dedication, patience, and genuine care for each child have made a lasting impact on our kids' lives. They now have stronger self-control, increased confidence, and a sense of pride in themselves that carries over into every part of their lives. Chandler Judo Academy has completely changed our kids' lives for the better."
"My daughter joined in April of 2025 and by the following November was #2 in the country. She just competed in the Youth National Championships where she took home a gold, a silver, and a bronze outside of her age division. She is now ranked #1 in the country for her age and weight. The biggest thing I'm so proud of is that her confidence in herself has boosted tremendously. Thank you so much Carrie Chandler."
