My children have been part of the Excel Martial Arts family for over 5 years. The instructors are welcoming, patient and very encouraging. They take learning styles and needs into consideration and ensure their program is a good fit for each student.
Ms Valirie Peligrino and her instructor team go above and beyond to make sure that each student feels supported and capable of achieving success.
The before and after school care is wonderful and the caregivers provide lots of fun and educational activities and cool field trips.
Excel Martial Arts is a great place to train. Their commitment to their students and to teaching a high quality curriculum is commendable!
This is THE place I can have full trust with my children in. Not only do my kids learn self defense and martial arts work, they are taught discipline and respect and shaping them into better individuals - polite, courteous, motivated, confident, responsible, considerate & respectful!! With the leadership class offered in the studio, my children also obtain great leadership skills.
The owner, management, and leadership team are professional, generous, kind hearted, non-judgmental, and empathetic to all the students. The studio provided equal learning opportunities to families with financial struggles, and to me that speaks volumes as to how dedicated and passionate they are. I would highly recommended taking classes at this studio and would not hesitate to enroll my children. I’m so happy I found this studio and the pride they take in teaching the kids here is incredible.
The staff are really nice and friendly. My sister has been really enjoying attending all her classes. Definitely would recommend!
There is nothing to dislike about Excel Martial Arts Coquitlam. All the instructors here are so friendly and supportive and truly want you to succeed. I spent four years here and had to stop unfortunately, but this place will become your second home and you will grow another family. You learn many different things and can apply them to real life. Wonderful for any ages! If you are looking to start or continue martial arts, you will not regret coming here!
For me and my family has been a life changing experience, it is a great place to train for get in shape also learn very efficient self defence techniques but what I like the most is the self confiden
FIVE STARS :)
My son grew up in this gym and still there. Myself could not resist and joined EMA few years ago. Very good ethics, no judgment environment; at any age you will feel a support there. High quality program, professional approach to exercises helps to reach your individual best level.
Empathize with your child and model empathy for others. E.g., by showing empathy yourself, your child will learn how it makes the other person feels better. Make caring for others a priority and set high ethical expectations. Provide opportunities for children to practice empathy. E.g., speak about a tragic world event. Expand your child’s circle […]
Empathy Example 1: Have you ever felt sad with a friend just because he was sad? That is empathy! So, for example, if you feel sad with your friend because he did not make the soccer team (even though you are not affected by him not making the team) – that’s empathy. Sharing his sadness […]
Empathy is being able to know how someone else is feeling, even when you are not in the same situation. Sometimes, in more simple words, we call empathy being able to “put yourself in someone’s shoes” and see things from their view. Why is empathy important? Empathy is the first step in having positive relationships […]
