This is an excellent martial arts and after school. I was trying to get my son into it for years but he was reluctant. However, once he started, it became his favorite thing to do! He can't wait to go after school, and he's really into their BBC- Black Belt Club, which is included in the membership. Sensei Priscilla and the rest of the staff are very professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this school.

The trainers are amazing... very hands on and do a fantastic job with focusing on the kids strengths and areas of development although I feel that the classes are to packed and I don't see one sensei being able to focus and every single child. My daughter has been here little over a yr and she loves it and looks fwd to getting her black belt.

Excel Martial Arts is the best place in the Bronx to sign up your kid. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable, they truly excel in programs and fun activities. My eight year old loves it! She’s in the after school program and is always coming home excited and raving about her new high kicks. It’s made her truly excel not only in the program but in school and at home. Love this place!

White Belt to Black Belt: A Path of Dedication and Perseverance

December 16, 2024

Advancing from white belt to black belt is more than just acquiring new skills—it’s a powerful journey of perseverance, dedication, and personal growth. Training in martial arts or MMA offers valuable lessons that shape not only your technique but also your mindset. Along the way, you build confidence, develop discipline, and learn the importance of consistency. This journey challenges you to push past your limits and grow both physically and mentally. At Excel Martial Arts, we support you every step of the way, helping you unlock your full potential as you progress through each stage of your training.

The Beginning: White Belt

Starting as a white belt is both exciting and humbling. In the beginning, you focus on learning the fundamentals—the stances, movements, and philosophy that form the core of each discipline. This stage is an opportunity to build a strong foundation, where discipline and patience are developed through consistent practice. Mastery doesn’t come quickly, and understanding that progress is gradual is key.

For many new students, this initial phase highlights the importance of small victories. Everyone begins with a clean slate, and each step forward, no matter how small, is a meaningful achievement.

Mid-Journey: Staying the Course

As you move up through the ranks, the techniques become more advanced, and the physical challenges intensify. This phase of training requires a high level of perseverance. The belt system is designed to test your limits and push you to grow.

Our instructors are dedicated to guiding you through these challenges, helping you refine your skills and deepen your understanding. We emphasize that martial arts is as much about mental resilience as it is about physical ability. It’s common to face plateaus, but overcoming these obstacles leads to significant breakthroughs.

For those seeking MMA or a structured training environment, we provide a space where perseverance is celebrated. Each belt you earn represents not just a skill level but a milestone in your personal growth.

Achieving Black Belt: A New Beginning

Achieving the rank of black belt is an incredible milestone. It reflects years of dedication, countless hours of practice, and overcoming both physical and mental challenges. However, we believe that earning a black belt is not the final destination—it marks the beginning of a new phase. Black belts are not just skilled practitioners; they become leaders, mentors, and lifelong learners.

For those seeking martial arts training, the journey to black belt is about more than just mastering techniques. It’s a path toward becoming the best version of yourself. The sense of accomplishment is unmatched, but it also serves as the gateway to continued growth and learning.
