Testimonials
Our students and families are the heart of Excel Taekwondo. Every success story reflects the confidence, discipline, and growth that comes from our programs.
“I have two kids ages 5 and 7 in separate programs and they both love it. But I wanted to post what I saw at a practice a few weeks ago. Coach Scott was with a new white belt student who seemed very unsure and upset about his first practice. I thought the little one was going to give up but Coach Scott would not allow it and in one of the most positive ways he explained it, showed it and kept at it. Within 15 minutes the new student was smiling, laughing, participating confidently. As a parent, I learned a lot that day and I am grateful for Coach Scott also.”
“While I was at Excel, I absolutely loved it. I'm not one for martial arts, but once I joined this program I fell in love. The instructors were kind and friendly. They helped, guided and pushed me to become the person that I am today. I highly recommend this program!”
“We have had my daughter enrolled at Excel for the last 2 1/2 years. She has flourished since starting classes as a Little Ninja and is continuing to grow as an advanced Brown Belt. The instructors are great and continue to hold these kids to a high standard. We highly recommend bringing your kids to Excel TKD.”
“We enrolled our daughter at Excel Taekwondo and had nothing but great experiences. Great community and great people.”
“Excel Taekwondo is a great martial arts studio. I have enrolled both of my daughters there over the last year (youth and little ninjas). It is a family owned and operated studio with an incredible staff that teaches their students not only Taekwondo but also discipline, hard work, respect and life skills. I am so grateful to have found Excel Taekwondo.”
“My kids love it here. The one who craves order and organization thrives here and the gifted one that needs a challenge is also fulfilled. Great organization for the whole family.”
