Master Choi and Master Carmen with the rest of the Excel Martial Arts team are great. We are already seeing great improvement in our son's focus, determination, and confidence. The atmosphere at the studio is one of being a welcoming, learning environment, where students can grow. We are glad that our son is a part of a great team.

My kid loves going to taekwondo here. The instructors are great! They are so patient and know how to be fun with lessons. They also teach them valuable lessons for life (i.e. respect, self confidence, self defense etc). All the kids there seem to enjoy the lessons. My kid is always so excited for his class.
Definitely recommend this place for anyone who wishes to learn taekwondo!

My daughter loves taking classes here. The classes are fun and engaging, but also challenging.
As a parent my favorite part of the dojo is they really focus on teaching them character, confidence, respect, etc. Not just the physical, but the behaviors and real life lessons to become a better person.
Highly recommend Excel.

If youβre looking for a TKD home look no further because Excel Martial Arts is your best option. We are like one big family where children learn TKD as well as becoming responsible adolescents. Wish I could give them 10 stars.

My family moved to San Antonio due to a job transfer. Master Choi and Master Carmen made Taekwondo a fun learning experience. My son was able to make friends and become a part of the community. They even prepared safe activities for students when Covid surged. Fast forward four years and my youngest is now taking classes. My oldest recently received his Black Belt. We are grateful for Excel Martial Arts.

My 5 year old daughter has only been attending Excel for a few months now, but I can already see amazing changes in her.
Aside from how much fun she has, my daughter has started to learn that practice and discipline lead to self-improvement, which has excited her and makes her want to practice more. My daughter is learning, through martial arts, that the "pay off" for practice is her own improvement and she loves it. She has also become more deliberate in her actions and thinks a little more before doing impulsive 5 year-old things (they still happen, but with less frequency...she's 5).
Master Choi and Master Carmen are also great with kids and extremely positive influences. They use different exercises in classes to keep kids engaged, challenge them to improve themselves, and encourage them at all times. Their weekly challenges often involve the kids helping around the house, or showing respect to their parents. It's not just kicks and punches at Excel. They help kids genuinely better themselves through martial arts. It's really great stuff.
If you are looking for a place to start your kid off in martial arts, I highly recommend Excel. I honestly don't know how they could be better.
**2 year update**
Our daughter started at Excel on 3/4/23. Two years later, she's still in love with this place and so are we. She went through their "Tiny Tigers" to the juniors class and is developing impressive skills and physical fitness.
It's more than the classes though - which are fantastic. Master Choi and Master Carmen have built a near-family atmosphere here. The kids are friends and socialize before and after class. They push each other and work together to get better. My daughter is closer to her Taekwondo friends than most of her school friends. Adults get to know each other too, and we all cheer on each other's kids.
Yes, it's a martial arts school - but it's so much more than that. Enrolling our daughter was such a good decision, we enrolled our son as soon as he was old enough.
This is a top-notch martial arts school. If that's all you want - you found it. You or your kid will learn Taekwondo from highly skilled people here.
If you want more though - that's where Excel...excels.

Our daughter, Isabella, absolutely loves her time at Excel Martial Arts! Master Choi and Master Carmen have created such a fun, welcoming, and encouraging environment where kids can truly thrive. They meet each student where they are, allowing them to learn at their own pace while still pushing them to reach their full potential.
We've been so impressed with how much Isabella's skills and confidence have grown since she started. Every class is a perfect blend of discipline, learning, and fun, and itβs clear how much Master Choi and Master Carmen care about their students.
We are beyond grateful to have found Excel Martial Arts and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic place for their child to grow, learn, and succeed!

We've had an amazing experience at Excel Martial Arts! The energy here is fantastic, and the instructors (Master Choi and Master Carmen) are incredible with the kids. My 8-year-old has been attending classes for a few months, and have noticed a big differenceβnot only in physical skills but also in confidence, discipline, and respect. The classes are engaging, and the instructors make learning fun while setting high standards. Iβm so grateful for the positive impact this place has had on my child. Highly recommend to any parent looking to build character and confidence in their kids!

Talk about changing it up! If you want workouts that consistently target different muscle groups with cardio and stretching while learning self defense. EXCEL MARTIAL ARTS is the place you want to be!
Iβm over 50, and I started out by wanting a workout to build my core strength because of a lower back bulging disk injury I sustained while doing yard work several years ago, and I get a lot more than just a core workout. I get an EXCEL MARTIAL ARTS workout!
Master Choi and Master Carmen along with all the Great students = the perfect atmosphere to learn self defense with discipline. I highly recommend EXCEL MARTIAL ARTS School no matter what your physical fitness goal may be.

Our granddaughter Sophia started with Excel in 2019. She was 4 years old and a quiet little girl. She would cover her ears when the class would say their student creed. Now 4 years later she won 1st place in 2 categories in her first ever martial arts tournament. The difference is Masters Carmen and Choi. Their experience, how well they are with the students (whether kids or adults) and the families. There is never a shortage of fun events offered by the studio and if your student needs private lessons those are offered as well. Iβve watched so many young people come to Excel Martial Arts as shy little ones and excel into Warriors. If you want a place for your little one or yourself to blossom visit Excel Martial Arts. You wonβt regret it!!

I wish I can find the right words to mention all the great things we (especially my daughter) have experienced at Excel Martial Arts, but I know I will have missed a few things after posting this review. That said, my daughter joined Excel MA at 4.5 years old (Tiny Tigers). She joined as a shy, timid, run off the mat crying kind of student; however, it has been the mix of patience, discipline and fun that both Master Carmen and Master Choi provide that has enabled her to find her confidence. She loves doing her "homework" to earn her green stripes which entail practice, clean up, healthy eating, etc. She loves the Parent Night Out activities when they come around. I have noticed a huge difference since joining, and I hope this has established a foundation to build on with other future extra curricular activities. For anyone considering having their child join, be at ease knowing you're in good hands. Master Carmen and Master Choi, thank you!

Excel Martial Arts Is the perfect place for kids and family for learning martial arts.They also help the students develop their ability to face challenges and to handle them in the right way by training them not just physically but emotionally and mentally with lots of activities. They also have a leadership program where they train you to be one ! The family class is the best me and my son attend the family class and it is soo fun !!! I was skeptical in the beginning to join as I never had any prior training but it was the best decision I made and I am soo glad We are one of the Excel Martial Art family !
Master Choi and Master Carmen are Dedicated trainers with Excellent approach, they Taylor the curriculum accordingly such that you will enjoy the class to the most . If you are looking for a martial arts class for yourself or your kids - Excel Martial Art is the Place !!! It offers more than what you expect.

My kid is a month over 4 years old, and after just one month in class he's learned skills and discipline that i didnt think were possible at his age. Master's Choi and Carmen are incredible at connecting with the students, and provide a fun and educational class to direct the students energy in productive ways. The class gives parents additional tools to help out at home as well. Kids are expected to clean their room, be nice to a sibling, or pick up after themselves to earn green stripes each week. My kid has grown to love that sense of achievement. Lastly, it's a great way to bond. For my kid, there is nothing more satisfying than kicking through a board. Practicing his kicking techniques at home has been a ton of fun, and a great way to expend some of his limitless kid energy. They offer a $20 trial that comes with a shirt, and several lessons- if you're considering it, I would highly recommend taking advantage!

My son LOVES Excel. As a mom I was concerned with where we enrolled when my son kept asking me to go to "Ninja School". Excel came highly recommended by other mom's in the area so we gave it a shot. After his first class I knew we were at an amazing facility with dedicated and professional instructors. Your kiddos will learn a lot and love the experience as well! I know we are so glad we tried them out. My son has already become such a great helper at home and very respectful as well. It is more than just learning martial arts, it is also helping to develop our little ones into amazing individuals too.

This is absolutely the best martial arts school in San Antonio. I have seen my young child grow confident because of the skills she has been learning here, she is motivated, proud and excited to keep going.
Master Carmen and Master Choi from Excel Martial Arts are wonderful, they really know what theyβre doing and amazing with kids.
We tried other 2 martial arts schools in the past, neither of them meet our expectations so we kept looking and iβm glad we did.

Master Choi And Master Carmen are not only excellent teachers but great life mentors. Your children will not only learn the martial art of Taekwondo but life skills like discipline, respect, focus and responsibility among many others. Both Master Choi and Master Carmen teach with patience, passion, and energy all while making it a fun experience for everyone. I highly recommend attending this school.
