I am very happy I found World Taekwondo Academy. Mrs Wright is a very dedicated and very…read moreinformative instructor. She is great with kids and adults too. She is a very nice person. You couldn't ask for any better. I have learned more about Taekwondo forms and meanings and history, and how to do forms correctly, etc from Mrs Wrights teachings then I did from previous school I attended 5 years ago. I didn't realize what I was missing out on from previous well known chain of schools until I started with Mrs Wrights World Taekwondo Academy in Woodbury, MN. If you are looking for a well established chain of Taekwondo Schools, look no further. I did my research before deciding what martial arts I wanted to learn. I chose Taekwondo because it is the most popular and World Taekwondo Academy has many locations. I highly recommend World Taekwondo Academy in Woodbury, Tim Fish

Excel Martial Arts historically has had some of the best Instructors in the business that can keep…read morecolored belts energized and excited to train. However, once reaching Black Belt...the advanced training simply isn't available and isn't a focus of the school owner. Ever since COVID and Excel's downsizing remodel which reduced the training space by more than 50% and the flexibility of the training schedule (does not put into consideration students-athletes that compete in other school/club sports), the classes simply haven't been the same. Membership prices are all over the board and inconsistent across families. Overall ownership and day-to-day operations (or lack thereof) lead to a poorly run business that continues to fail on delivering against the basics such as communication and customer service that everyone should expect. There was a time years ago this could have been a 5-star, but unfortunately that is no longer the case. Sad.
