Head Professor: Paul DiRienzo

Details: The Metrowest Academy of Jiu Jitsu is a leader in self defense classes in the Metrowest area. Our particular style of martial arts is derived from the traditional Japanese Hakko-Ryu Jiu Jitsu. The physical art of American Jiu Jitsu focuses on leverage, off-balance, and the knowledge of anatomy to overcome an attacker. Jiu Jitsu literally translated means “the Gentle Art” so while it is nice to have, size, strength, and flexibility, those are not required to unarm an attacker. We are primarily a stand up Jiu Jitsu style with an emphasis on standing defense, defense against weapons, ground defense and multiple attackers. There are many styles of martial arts that are cool to watch, (Karate, Aikido, Tae Kwon Do, Kung Fu) and many that focus on sporting elements (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, MMA, Karate, Boxing and Kickboxing), but our primary focus is self defense for everyone. We are very lucky to have a diverse student base coming from Natick, Framingham, Wayland, Wellesley, Sudbury, Newton and even as far as Springfield. At the Metrowest Academy, our goal is to always have you Smiling, Sweating and Learning!

Kids Program | Ages 6–14 Yrs - Our comprehensive self-defense program was created in response to parents' desire for their children to have a place outside their homes to develop values such as responsibility, respect, and self-discipline. A positive sense of self, along with the ability and confidence to appropriately defend oneself is a sure outcome from enrollment into our martial arts program. Kids gain positive knowledge that will last a lifetime in a fun and safe environment! The main goal in Jiu Jitsu practice is to cultivate a person's mind and body, not to use it as a means to vent one's anger, frustration or emotional problems. The use of force is condoned only in self-defense or in the defense of those who are defenseless. The benefits from our martial arts program are countless and go well beyond learning self-defense. Many of our parents have noted seeing positive changes in... Focus and concentration, resulting in better grades. Respect and discipline, resulting in improved behavior. Fitness and conditioning, resulting in greater overall health & wellness.
