Excel Martial Arts

Excel Martial Arts in Woodbury, MN brings long-standing martial arts instruction to 707 Commerce Dr, Ste 150, serving the local community since 1986. The academy’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and martial arts environment is built around professional instruction from fully-certified instructors, with a clear focus on developing strong technique alongside leadership, discipline, and personal growth. That approach gives the school a distinctive place in the local BJJ community: students are not only learning how to move on the mats, but also how to carry themselves with confidence and purpose off the mats. The training philosophy emphasizes a balanced result — strong body, sharp mind, moral compass, and the ability to excel — which resonates with families, beginners, and dedicated practitioners looking for more than a workout.

The program lineup is broad and designed to support students at different stages of development. Younger children can start with Gracie Little Champs for ages 5-7 or Kids Martial Arts for ages 6-12, while growing students can continue into Gracie Jr. Grapplers for ages 7-13 and Teen Martial Arts. Adults have multiple entry points as well, including Gracie Combatives for ages 14+ and Adult Martial Arts, with Master Cycle available for advanced adults who want a more demanding training path. That progression makes the academy practical for households with multiple age groups and for anyone who wants a long-term training home that can grow with them over time.

Visitors will also appreciate the academy’s ability to serve both newcomers and more experienced grapplers without losing its structured, supportive feel. The combination of beginner-friendly instruction and advanced adult training helps create a room where fundamentals matter and steady improvement is encouraged. For those exploring Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for the first time, the school’s clear program structure can make the transition into training feel more manageable. For seasoned students, the presence of advanced adult work offers a path to keep sharpening skills in a setting shaped by experienced instruction and a serious commitment to quality.
