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.
My son and I both attended. Grate training and sets a good mental attitude. As well as the classes they run a lot of complimentary activities. Very friendly and family orientated.
What a great place to take your kids if you want them to feel part of a team and learn life skills. The guys obviously have a passion for this and pass their values on to the kids, especially the value of confidence. All while keeping them fit, being disciplined and learning an art! Thanks Liam and team
My son loves coming to excel, on his first lesson he was a little nervous but all the coach’s and staff made him feel really welcome and at home couldn’t have asked for more from all the team. My sons confidence, enthusiasm and courage has rocketed since his first ever lesson and I’ll be forever great-full to all the team. Very clean, reasonably priced, you can enjoy a nice beverage while your child attends their class, 10/10 recommend
I attended a free female-only self-defence class at Excel. Coach Charlene led the class and she was so knowledgeable -- answering specific questions on how to get out of certain situations with detail. The class was inclusive and engaging -- Coach Charlene was welcoming with her language and got everyone involved with demonstrations. I have come away feeling confident and have definitely learned new skills. Thank you.
Very welcoming, staff always happy to talk and discuss anything. Excellent so far. Our little boy really enjoys it
Excel is a family run academy and have family at the heart, my son has been training for 10 years and has a great relationship with the coaches and support staff. Excel really want everyone to achieve their goals and will do their best to support members.
Great place to train and great facilities. I’ve been training here for 7years and have no intentions of stopping.
Excel has helped me so much in such a short amount of time. I’ve gained more confidence, im a lot fitter and feel great. I always look forward to attending and always have a great time whilst im there
Harvey has been training with Excel for 6 years. It has helped him be the mature, confident, strong and fit 13 year old that he is today. This year we watched him achieve his 1st Degree Black Belt and we couldn't be prouder. He loves attending classes, he's met some good friends and participates in activities in and out of the academy with them. It has definitely been the best money we have spent. We now train as a family too as it has encouraged us to get involved and take part.
We would definitely recommend Excel Martial Arts to anyone.
Super friendly team of coaches and front of house staff ideal for all ages and abilities.. if you are unsure about taking up a new sport give excel a go you won’t regret it
The staff are tremendous , so well qualified and patient with those who need a little more help and support. They make sure that the children may gain the necessary skills. They make dire the children are motivated by providing fast paced lessons which also physically test rhem
Almost 3 years now, started here to help with my mental health and give myself a goal.
Great instructors, and made some good friends along the way.
My Son & Daughter have been going here for 3 months now and they love it. It’s a great place for families and individuals who what to excel in life and do something so rewarding learning martial arts and also being confident in yourself.
From day 1 it feels like you are part of a family, they make you feel so welcome. Thank you Excel!
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.
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.
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.
Excellent classes staff really friendly kids love to go every session. Helping the boys grow in confidence highly recommend.
My 5 yr old grandson only started this week and says he loves it. Been to watch him today and the instructors and helpers are amazing with him. They are all so helpful and give lots of praise and encouragement just what young kids need. I really hope he continues. xxx
My 9 year old (Joey) started 1 week ago, the change in him in just 1 week is amazing. The whole academy feels like one big family. They support parents and the children! Joey now does the student creed every morning! ?
academy have said that his academy work has massively improved since starting at excel. He also used to suffer with bullies but this has completely changed he is now confident and doesn’t get any major issues!
Thank you so much excel! You’ve honestly changed my little boys life! I will be forever grateful.
