Meet The Owners

A message from our local owners
Adam & Stephanie Gibson:

We have been teaching martial arts since 2001. With our extensive teaching experience, there is nothing better than seeing our students grow into the amazing humans we know they can be.

At Excel, our goal is to promote participation, honesty and integrity, as a means to discovering one's greatness. Martial arts training supports positive development of self-confidence and self-esteem, while improving physical fitness and mental wellness. Created through the integration of both traditional and contemporary disciplines, Excel offers a holistic martial arts program for children, adults and families.

With every class, we see the students grow. Martial arts provides them with instant positive feedback. They can see for themselves what happens when they focus, follow the instructions and apply the techniques to what they are doing. Success occurs and then they start taking those principles to other areas of their lives like the classroom, work and home.

Call us for two free classes, and see why Excel Martial Arts is a leader in the Chilliwack community.

Experience the Excel difference.

Have a great day!

  • The instructors at Excel Chilliwack are excellent. They are great with children, teens and adults. I've seen how much the kids just love their instructors. They are great role models - strict, but caring and loving. The training area is massive and allows plenty of space for training. Highly recommend.

  • My husband and I decided we wanted our girls in something that will teach them discipline, strength, and ways to defend themselves. After looking at a few other places we decided on Excel and it was the best choice ever. The teachers and student helpers are simply amazing and truly care about the children and helping them. We have found our forever home with Excel!

  • I would rate higher if i could. Amazing instructors that actually care about the kids achieving goals and succeeding. I have taken my child to other Karate classes before and it was basically let the kids run around for 30 minutes. Excel is totally different and my child loves going. Thank-you to Adam and his amazing team.
