"I just wanted to write a review to tell everyone how amazing this school is. Professor Italo and Professor Sara genuinely care about their students and it reflects in every class they teach. The dynamic they share comes out through their teachings, mixing structure and fun in every class. This last class was a special one for Father's Day where all the dads participated with their student and unfortunately my son's dad couldn't make it, but the professors stepped in without missing a beat. Ensuring my son didn't feel left out of anything with Professor Italo even standing with him as class was dismissed. This is the type of kindness I want my son to learn. Could not recommend this place enough 🤗"
"Professor Sarah and team made it feel very welcoming. The class helped us identify that we weren't quite ready yet, however, it showed us some stuff to work on at home so that we can join when our girl is a little older. Definitely recommend to anyone !!!"
"The Instructors here are very attentive with their students and very communicative with parents. My daughter loved going in and they would make it enjoyable for the kids while teaching them skills and things like respect and dedication. Highly recommend!"
"In June 2024, we encountered White2Black Academy, and my 7-year-old daughter loved it from the start. Professors Sarah and Italo are amazing people. They are very caring and passionate about teaching not just Jiu-Jitsu but also many valuable life lessons that are helping my daughter grow into a well-centered person. Everyone is welcome with the same caring aptitude, and the children love them and enjoy learning Jiu-Jitsu."
