About Excel Martial Arts

Our Mission

At Excel Martial Arts, kids gain so much more than cool moves. With flexible class times built for busy families, your child will train alongside supportive peers while learning life skills like persistence, determination, and empathy from positive role models. Classes build balance, agility, and coordination physical skills that last a lifetime while creating friendships and a community that keeps them motivated.

Schedule Focused

Our programs were created for real family schedules. Convenient class times mean that kids, adults, and whole families can improve their quality of life without killing every moment of spare time.

Community Positive

Our positive atmosphere is contagious, and you'll know without a doubt that you're in a place where kids will learn positive habits and adults will make meaningful, lasting friendships.

Values Oriented

All of our programs improve physical prowess, and that's important. But what's far more important is the mental and emotional benefits that our programs bring to everyday life.

Movement Based

Both kids and adults will gain flexibility, agility, and strength, even if they aren't athletic! They'll love it, because it's not only super fun, it’s inclusive and accommodating at every step.

Mental Health

We've always known it, but now the science agrees: You must take time for your own mental health. Martial Arts helps you clear your mind, accomplish goals, and be more healthy, from the inside out.

Community

You'll will be surrounded by peers striving towards the same goals you are, day in, day out. You'll build friendships and be supported in your individual journey.

Our Story Unfolds

Explore our milestones, growth, and memorable achievements throughout our journey.

Our Martial Arts was founded with a clear and heartfelt mission—to create a space where individuals can strengthen their bodies, focus their minds, and uplift their spirits through the discipline of martial arts.

We launched our journey in 2017 by opening our first two schools in Burke and Ashburn, VA. From the very beginning, we earned a reputation for fostering personal development, discipline, and mutual respect.

Driven by the passion of our students and the unwavering support of their families, we continued to grow. In 2019, we proudly opened two more locations in Fairfax and Purcellville, VA, expanding our ability to inspire and empower even more members of our community.

When the global pandemic hit, we met the moment with resilience and adaptability. Between 2020 and 2021, we transitioned seamlessly to a hybrid model—offering both in-person and virtual classes—ensuring our students’ progress never paused.

Our growth continued in 2023 with the opening of our fifth location in Broadlands, VA, further solidifying our presence throughout Northern Virginia.
