Arlington Instructors

High level training, low level attitude.

Our head instructor is Mike Pellegrino and he sets the tone and vibe for the academy. Mike received his black belt in 2007 and is a 4th degree black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. He received all his belts from the legendary Roberto Maia, the pioneer of jiu-jitsu to the Boston area.

All of our instructors are seasoned grapplers with tons of experience. They take pride in constantly improving their teaching as much as their jiu-jitsu. They also set the tone for the school by checking their ego at the door. 

At MassBJJ-Arlington there’s as much emphasis on a friendly training environment as there is on great technique. We believe the two go hand in hand, and we strive to create a friendly hardworking environment where practitioners of all levels can improve.
