About John Chandler
John Chandler is a natural fit for coaching kids on the mat. He brings ten years of wrestling and a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, along with grappling experience that reaches all the way to the UFC's jiu jitsu series. At Fight Ready, John channels that background into the kids wrestling and kids jiu jitsu programs, where he helps young athletes build skill, discipline, and confidence.
Wrestling shaped John from a young age, and he knows how much it can give a kid. It teaches toughness, focus, and respect, and it builds a base that carries into every other part of grappling. John pairs that with the control and problem-solving of jiu jitsu. Parents trust him because he is patient and clear, and kids love training with him because he makes hard work fun.
