Few gyms make you feel like family on day one—Excel Jiu Jitsu does! I’ve dropped in twice now (once back in April and again today), at different times with different instructors, and every class has been friendly, welcoming, and full of great learning. Even the kids’ camp happening when I arrived today looked like an awesome experience. This will be my training home anytime I’m in Oceanside!

Awesome place to learn a variety of martial arts!! Boxing? They got you! Kick boxing? They got you! MMA? They got you! BJJ (no-gi & gi)? You best believe they got you! Not only that, the facilities are clean and well taken care of! Complete with bathrooms and changing room, if needed. Michio, owner and head coach, goes above and beyond in fostering a positive learning environment that are boths challenging and family friendly. All the coaches are great and you will not go wrong coming here.

Our 4 kids have grown tremendously at Excel in both their jui jitsu skills and life/work ethic over the past year. We absolutely love the family atmosphere and all are made to feel welcome here. Invaluable life lessons are taught daily and a strong work ethic is infused into each lesson. LOVE our Excel family and gym!

This is an excellent gym, would highly recommend that you check it out. It’s a very clean gym with a large amount of mat space. Professor Michio has done an excellent job fostering a very family friendly and welcoming environment. The instruction is excellent and very detail oriented with Professor Michio being a 4th degree black belt under the legendary Chris Haueter. The gym’s schedule is hard to beat with classes 7 days a week and classes offered morning, afternoon and evening. There are a wide variety of programs offered from gi and no gi BJJ, MMA, boxing, fitness and yoga. The skill level in the BJJ classes is perfect for improving your skills with a good mix of beginner and advanced practitioners. Finally, it is refreshing to train at a gym where you can wear whatever gi you want and don’t have to wear the gym gi or a white gi only. Having trained at a plethora of gyms over the last 11 years, EXCEL is the cream of the crop. Come give it a try if you are interested in BJJ, martial arts or self defense.
