Excel Martial Arts Mission

The best decision we have ever made for our kids. They started 2 years ago at ages 4 and 5, Excel has given them so many life essential tools! Self defense, how to fall, respect, etc etc etc.The instructors and leaders are absolutely amazing and give our kids confidence. Martial Arts is a life skill, something that could save their life! I recommend Excel to all the other parents!

The staff are super supportive and patient. Very positive and encouraging. Excel is a wonderful program!

Excel really stands behind their name. Our son has been attending for almost 2 years, and they have excelled the whole time. The instructors are patient and enjoy working with all the kids. Would highly recommend!

Excel Martial Arts is amazing!!! The instructors are fantastic with kids of all ages. They not only show the skills of 5 different Martial Arts but they also work with team building, discipline and increasing confidence. They make it fun, but keep it serious when it needs to be. There weapons programs are great with safety as their first priority. They offer extra programs too, movie nights, women’s self defense and more. My son loves it, can’t wait to further himself in the leadership program and is eager to continue with one day becoming an instructor. When I think of Martial Arts, I only think of Excel Martial Art.

My daughter has been going for a couple years and she loves it. There are different classes to keep it fresh and the instructors are great! They are so good with the kids and great role models. Highly recommended!

My children are both enrolled, we absolutely love the program, all the staff are very clearly passionate about what they do and ensuring the best for the kids they teach.My only suggestions are that I wish they had a bigger space especially at the front entrance it can get very difficult coming and going in the colder months. I sincerely hope Excel continues to expand all over BC in the coming months and years as everyone should benefit from their program and it would make the competitions that much more fun! The self defense model combined with traditional martial arts is life skills in my opinion.Thank you Excel Mission we adore you guys!

My son has been with Excel a couple of years now. First starting in the little heroes and now in the beginner classes and he absolutely loves everything about Excel!! We've experienced his challenging behaviours decrease significantly. If he starts to slip with struggles at home the coaches at Excel are excellent at working together to address them. We've also had my son's birthday party at Excel and attended a couple friends parties there. The parties are awesome, all parents need to bring is the cake! It's so well organized and a blast for the kids! Can't say enough about how fantastic everyone at Excel is!

Excel Martial Arts is an excellent training studio for people of all ages. My son absolutely loves his karate classes. the daycare end of the training studio is first rate with many activities including outdoor time at parks for playtime. The children learn manners respect and a level of discipline that comes with martial arts training. My son has been with Excel Martial Arts for close to three years now. Best place ever.

Excel Martial Arts has been amazing for my son. He has autism and adhd and the Excel instructors have always worked with my son in ways that respected his learning style and abilities. My son has come a long way since starting at Excel and his shift in attitude and behavior has been so positive and great to see. We hope to continue with Excel for many years to come.

We’ve been with EMA Mission since the day the Janzen family opened this chapter. My son started when he was 5 years old with the before and after school care program. He’s now 14, 2nd Degree Black Belt and an assistant instructor. My 9 year old daughter has also been going here since she was 5…no hesitation when it came time to enrol her in Day Care :)Mr. Baban and the rest of the instructors are very supportive! They keep it fun and upbeat but still stressing important factors such as respect, self defence, the consequences of their actions….great life building skills!It has been amazing to watch my kids grow, not only in their confidence and strength but also in the friendships they’ve built along the way. EMA is not just a business, they are a family!! I am so happy with EMA and recommend them 100%!!
