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!
