Excel Martial Arts Edmonton

What makes a champion? What is the true definition of a winner?

Many of you competed this weekend, many were faced with difficult competition, and not everyone received a medal. But the true reward lies in the lost battles, the matches lost. A medal is great, but a true winner walks out of a loss match with their head held high.

Our Edmonton representing us at our annual tournament! They did amazing this weekend! Everyone was impressed, not just by their skills but by how they carried themselves out there.

More pictures coming soon 😎

June schedule.

Just a reminder that June 5 and 6 we will be closed for tournament.

Make sure to wish those competing good luck!

Small but mighty 💪🏽🔥

Training isn’t just about pushing harder — it’s about thinking smarter. The right mindset means knowing when to go all in, and knowing when your body needs rest to recover, rebuild, and come back stronger. Growth happens in both the grind and the recovery. 💪🧠

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in EMA! Thank you for all the car rides, laundry, emotional support, encouragement, and so much more! Your importance will never go unseen 🫶🏽

Control the position, and the submission will come. The best grapplers stay calm, stay sharp, and never rush the finish. 🥋🔥

Some of the strongest friendships are built on the mats. Through every drill, challenge, and hard-earned lesson, trust grows stronger. A good training partner pushes you to improve, supports you when things get tough, and celebrates every win alongside you. Martial arts may start as individual growth, but the friendships built along the way become part of the journey. 🥋👊
