My daughter began attending this gym a few years ago when she was only 4 years old. Since then (she is now 7), has loved EVERYTHING about Excel Martial Arts. Ms. Peligrino is amazing - she is great with children of all ages, as well as adults. She is extremely professional and her passion for Martial Arts shines through her teaching and her abilities. The other instructors are all amazing as well and truly want the best for all of their students. Would recommend this gym for anyone looking to learn Martial Arts or expand their knowledge of the sport. THE BEST!

Valerie is so amazing. She is kind, knowledgeable, good at instruction and conveying to children. My son is in the before and after school program and he enjoys the friendships and bonds he has created with the instructors. The program is amazing, not only does it include martial arts but also provides transportation to and from school. They are open early and run late to accomodate my crazy schedule.

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.

Biography

Hello, I’m Daniel Bravo, a martial artist, adventurer, and head instructor at EMA. My journey in martial arts spans over 14 years, and it’s a story that intertwines with my passion for physical activities, cultural exploration, and continuous self-improvement.

Martial Arts Journey

I took my first steps into the world of martial arts 14 years ago, and it’s been a transformative ride ever since. At just 15 years old, I achieved my first black belt, sharing this significant milestone with my younger sister, Ms. Bravo. The bonds forged in the dojo extend beyond family; they represent a shared commitment to discipline and growth.

A Diverse Palette of Hobbies

Beyond the martial arts mat, my interests are as diverse as my martial arts journey. Drawing, reading mangas, and occasional camping adventures are my escapes into creativity and the great outdoors. Engaging in physical activities with friends and hitting the gym daily are not just routines but essential components of my lifestyle.

Cultural Odyssey: Mexico to Canada

Hailing from Mexico, I moved to Canada in 2008, bringing with me a rich tapestry of experiences and a love for both Spanish and English languages. The blend of cultural influences has shaped my perspective and enhanced my ability to connect with people from various backgrounds.

Leadership at EMA

At the young age of 19, I assumed the role of head instructor at EMA. This responsibility is not just about teaching martial arts; it’s about fostering a sense of community, instilling discipline, and inspiring others to unlock their full potential.

Future Ventures

As I continue to lead and inspire at EMA, my journey in martial arts and life remains an open book. The cultural blend, diverse hobbies, and commitment to physical fitness contribute to a holistic approach to living. The next chapter promises more growth, exploration, and shared victories on the mat.

Thank you for being a part of my story. Together, let’s embrace the martial arts lifestyle and the exciting adventures that lie ahead.

Best, Daniel Bravo
