Our Approach

Excel Martial Arts Training Center bridges the gap between tradition and modernity. Characterizing our karate as a "way of life", we approach martial arts instruction as a means of self defense, a strategy to develop good character, and as a sport that fosters hard work, determination, and leadership development. As such, our instructors participate in continuous education intended to make sure that students receive quality instruction using a combination of traditional methods and innovative best practices. 

Our Impact

At EMATC, we firmly believe that karate is more than just punching and kicking. As such, we encourage our students to be well rounded global citizens who use their talents to have a positive impact on others around them. In addition to the countless number of martial arts, karate, boxing, and kickboxing champions we have produced, the prestigious alumni of Excel Martial Arts Training Center includes countless Doctors, Lawyers, Business Owners, Educators, Law Enforcement, Entertainers, and more.
