My experience at Xcellant Taekwondo Center has been exceptionally positive and very impactfull on my son and me as a parent. I am consistently impressed by the professionalism and dedication of Master Williams, who demonstrate not only mastery of Taekwondo but also a genuine commitment to the growth and development of each student.
The curriculum is thoughtfully structured, providing a challenging yet supportive learning environment that caters to all skill levels. I have observed remarkable improvements my son's technique, discipline, and self-confidence since enrolling.
I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a premier Taekwondo education that fosters both physical prowess and strong character, respect for themselves and others and discipline.

Instructor Williams is great with the kids! He is firm but makes it enjoyable for them as well. My son was very excited to come to class every week. We had to take a pause from it but we will be back as soon as we can! Appreciate you very much!

My son has had a very good experience learning Taekwondo and working with Master Williams. He emphasizes discipline and respect along with the physical aspect of it all, which I love to see as a Father raising young men. Highly recommend.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with Xcellent Taekwondo. Instructor Jefferey and the other instructors exceed my expectations. They incorporate discipline, respect, and honor while making it fun for kids. My son has really thrived. Typically, my son loses interest in an activity after a week or two. It’s been over a month, and my son looks forward to Taekwondo. He’s so proud and motivated. He has so much fun. Try Xcellent Taekwondo. You won’t be disappointed!

My 4-year-old son has been attending classes at Xcellent Taekwondo Center in Palos Heights, and he absolutely loves it! The classes are a perfect blend of fun and learning, keeping him engaged and excited to go every week. Master Williams is an exceptional instructor—kind yet firm, he creates a positive environment where the kids thrive. I’ve been so impressed with how the program teaches important life skills like rule-following, respect, and the courage to speak to adults. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Xcellent Taekwondo Center to other families!

Admittedly, I am a novice when it comes to Taekwondo. But as a former professional ballet dancer, I knew exactly what to look for as far as environment/instruction for my precocious and energetic 3 year-old. In all sincerity, I was blown away by Master Williams. I have never in my life witnessed a group of such young children listen to someone so intently, and with such reverence. Master Williams epitomizes “firm, but kind”: he is patient and gentle, yet encourages these children to push beyond their comfort zone - planting the invaluable seeds of perseverance, respect, confidence and discipline. What a gift! Master Williams is, without question, incredibly passionate about and devoted to this amazing art. If you happen upon his studio, consider yourself fortunate.

I can not recommend Xcellent Taekwondo and Master Williams enough! My 5 year old has been in classes for a year, while my 4 year old was not quite ready to join in consistently until spring. Master Williams and his instructors were so great with helping my 4 year old warm up to class. My kids confidence has skyrocketed through taekwondo classes with Master Williams and his instructors. Excellent Taekwondo is such a great community all around.

I always knew I wanted to put my daughter in classes but I wasn’t sure when to start. I did a lot of research and we decided on giving this place a try. IT WAS THE BEST DECISION. My daughters 5 and started roughly 5 months ago and the amount of growth I’ve seen from her is incredible. She’s learning how to defend herself the right way, her confidence has sky rocketed, and even her self control has improved so much. Master Williams is AMAZING. He is very patient, and he works so well with her. I will forever recommend!

Our daughter has been in Tae Kwon Do for over a year now. Master Williams has really helped her excel and realize her full potential. She has become more disciplined, more respectful and more responsible in everything she does. The life skills she has learned in Taekwondo will certainly help her excel both now and in her future. Highly recommend.

This institution is a gem. I am truly grateful to be able to have my daughter learn from a great teacher, Master Williams, and his wonderful students. He does a great job in instilling discipline and self confidence with so much compassion and kindness. The environment he creates is welcoming and supportive. The positive change my husband and I see in our daughter is evident thanks to Master Williams and his team. She went from flimsy kicks to breaking a board with one kick.

This place is incredible, I have a 9 (Victoria) and 5 (Gia) year old girls there for approximately 5 months, my 9 year old is very shy, she didn't even want to speak out loud and now she is very confident, She even joined her school choir, that level of confidence she has now… and I love the way Master Williams recognizes their effort at every step and makes them both feel that they can do everything, they are happy, they never want to miss a class, If my daughters are happy I am happy too.

At XTC, the focus is not merely on physical strength. There is heavy focus on mental and emotional strength and well being. The entire team, lead by Master Williams, are role models that help further instill values of respect and courtesy for self and others! My daughter was so shy when she started but she radiates confidence and self esteem and I know that taekwondo and XTC have played a major part in this. Both my husband and daughter joined almost a year ago and, thanks to a challenge, I have recently started. This has been the most challenging, yet rewarding experience and I’m only a few weeks in. I wholeheartedly recommend XTC!!!

My son is very shy and lacked confidence until he started taking classes here. He gained so much confidence in a few months. So much that he did Taekwondo for his school talent show. He broke a board and everyone was so amazed and cheered for him. His smile was worth it all. Highly recommend!

We the parents of Natalie, are very happy to find this very special taekwondo school, Master Williams is a very wonderful person with high morals and skills, we are very glad he and his team of instructor's are the ones to teach our daughter, he and his team are wonderful to interact with and are very thoughtful, nice and respectful.
Also it's a huge plus that XTC gives the students 4 week trial for free to see if it's the right place for them, for us we believe this is a great place for our daughter to grow and learn.
Our daughter is 3 years, she loves her teacher's and looks forward to her classes 💖, even more now that also her Dad joint the classes.
A big thanks to Master Williams and all the instructors keep up the great work.💖

My son is so excited to come to class to challenge himself amd improve on his skills. My 10-year-old has also been inspired and will soon begin classes. We have thoroughly enjoyed our experience at this school thus far.

I interviewed several places for my disabled son. Master Williams said "we'll focus on what he can do"- which is our family motto. This is an inclusive place focused on respect and integrity. We cannot express how happy we are to be apart of the XTC community. I highly recommend this place.

My son has been taking classes here since June of 2021. The instruction and discipline he has learned in class has had such a positive impact on his behavior and confidence in himself. My daughter has taken classes since December of 2021 and they both love going to class. The instructors are amazing and I genuinely enjoy that this is such a big part of their life now. Master Williams is amazing and I cannot recommend XTC enough!

Good afternoon

My 7-year-old grandson has been going to Xcellent for a short time now and I would just like to say how excited I am. He truly loves the activity and seems to embrace the discipline as well. I had a good opportunity to speak with Master Williams today. I was already impressed with the structure and skill he and his team showed just from watching my grandson in class. Our conversation today made me realize how passionate Master Williams is about his teaching and how invested he and his team are in everyone who participates in the many classes they offer. I'm confident this will be a great experience for my grandson and build many social and physical skills that will make him more successful, respectful of others, and confident now and in his future. Thanks for the great conversation today Master Williams!

Sincerely
Jim Podkulski

If I had known XTC existed when my son started taekwondo I would have absolutely chosen to take him there from the beginning. Coach Williams, from the moment I met him, has been genuine and caring, and real; and this is why we switched to XTC, traveling an hour to get there. Coach Williams and the team at XTC immediately made my son and my whole family feel welcome, and helped rebuild my son's love for taekwondo. He took a break during the pandemic, and chose to go back on his own because he missed the team and coach Williams. We will forever consider them family. As a coach he is well known and liked and is a genuine individual. I am happy to see his school grow, which is happening at astounding speed, which is a testament to his dedication because we are still in a pandemic and despite that his school is growing. He handles each of his athletes in a way that works for that athlete; which is a skill that not a lot of coaches possess. I highly recommend XTC.

My children joined XTC in 2010 with the guidance of Master Williams and Mrs. Williams it has been an extremely rewarding and beneficial experience for them both earning their Black Belt. While Martial Arts, in general, is touted for its benefits; building self-confidence, self-discipline, and self defense, to name a few. Master Williams builds a great bond with all students, always respectful and encourages all student to do their best. I highly recommend XTC.

The sport of Taekwondo is rewarding for many reasons. It instills tremendous values into those who set out to learn them. Training and competing alongside Sensei Jeffery Williams at Xcellent Taewondo Center has benefited my family is so many ways past just the physical training component. His competitive outlook on Taekwondo has shaped my life where I continue to practice what I first learned in his school so many years ago.
I highly recommend training and learning alongside Sensei Jeffery Williams. He gives each one of his students the individual attention they deserve to excel in this sport.

Master Williams is a veteran coach with years of experience training athletes and molding them into champions. He focuses on each atheletes' strengths and adapts to how they learn. He is calm but firm in his approach when working with his athletes. He encourages open communication and ensures that there is understanding between coach, athletes and parents. He values the input of parents and knows how important it is for everyone to be on the same page in order for goals and objectives to be met. He not only teaches kids the techniques and skills in taekwondo but also instills life lessons in his atheletes. He supports his atheletes' passion in other areas, be it poomsae, basketball or baseball. We trust that he has the best intentions and will help my son achieve success in this great sport of taekwondo.
