Welcome to
We know that finding a martial arts academy can be overwhelming. At Excel Martial Arts, our priority is to help you and/or your children become better versions of yourselves.
Our expert coaches are here to learn your goals, and help you achieve them in a fun, exciting, and welcoming environment. Take a minute to learn more about our facility, programmes, and community through our website, and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Focus & Discipline
Discipline, sharing, and self-control are all things children need to learn to be successful. Studying martial arts is ideal for young children. It provides them with an outlet for their energy. But it also teaches them about respect, discipline, and other core values that will go with them beyond training at our academy.
Confidence & Friendship
Not only are children getting healthier as they learn martial arts, they’re also learning the value of respect and self-confidence. When you enroll your child in a martial arts class here at Excel Martial Arts, you’re giving them much more than the physical skills we teach. You’re giving them the opportunity to thrive in a fun and healthy environment where they can make friends with other like-minded students.
SELF-DEFENCE & FITNESS
Feeling confident, empowered, and healthy is important to all teens and adults. Martial arts will help strengthen all of those qualities. Whether you want to boost your self-confidence, defend yourself, get fit, or just have fun, our academy has everything you need to become the best version of yourself.

So impressed with the service given at Excel, coaches give 100% and teach the kids to too. Been to other karate classes and nothing comes close to the Excel experience!

I often hear about bullying in academys . I wanted my children to become more confident and have the skills to defend their self if they have to. My boys joined Excel Martial Arts at the beginning of 2021. It was recommended to us by one of the academy Mums. They loved it straight away. The coaches are very professional, great with children. After seeing their success, I took the opportunity to join the Ladies kickboxing class , and never looked back since. I tried many exercise classes, running , gym.. but never stuck to anything. This is the first exercise what I thoroughly enjoy. My boys made lots of friends, enjoy going on Excel events like Jump Inc., Halloween and recently signed up for their first Summer camp with Excel. I would highly recommend Excel Martial Arts to everyone.

Fantastic family run martial arts academy where the focus of the individual matters. Great for getting and keeping fit with the added bonus of confidence, control and believing in yourself.

Sabina Akash
In my kid's first Excel tester class , I have decided to send my kids here. And when they started their Excel trail, I was sitting there and saw how they teach kid's, that's motivated me to get into it too. I never ever done anything like that before, but whenever I watch my kids do it, I can't stop myself. most importantly all coaches and staff are so nice, friendly and so helpful. 💯 recommended. I'm very excited to join them.
Gemma King
Nothing but praise for Excel Martials Arts and the team there.. We have been coming here nearly 4 years now and I cant tell you how they have helped my son develop his confidence, strength and fitness. As a parent I got so into it that I joined last year during lockdown while suffering with a back injury and will now be grading for my 4th belt. If you want to get fit, meet some amazing and inspiring people and fancy giving martial arts a try then don't waste any more time looking elsewhere, this is the place to be.
Marcin Sakowski
Nice open day. Nice helpful people with good approach to children.

Absolutely brilliant! The coaches, reception staff, facilities, everything is just great. My little boy Axel always has tons of fun and his confidence has come on so much. I was a bit worried has he started mini strike just after his 4th birthday but the level of support and kindness to him has been absolutely unreal. Would recommend to anyone.
Julie Smith
