The first time I came to Xcel I was an up and coming athlete. Everyone was very welcoming and supportive. Since then my experience has always been a strong sense of botherhood and competitiveness. Fabio, his athletes and students are very talented and hard working individuals. They share his passion for Taekwondo and their drive to become the best versions of themselves will only make you a better athlete and help improve your level as an athlete or practitioner. Over the years my experience training, sparring and bonding with the amazing people at Xcel has been priceless. It has helped me become a stronger athlete, build bonds with amazing people and create memories to cherish. I highly recommend this school.

Our son loves going to Taekwondo class at Xcel and talks about it a lot. We see a lot of improvement and progress every time he goes. Mr. T teaches the kids listening skills, perseverance, discipline, confidence, teamwork- all while having fun. 5 stars!

Great activity for our active 4 year old! Mr T commands respect as the kids learn both physical and emotional skills. Our son has become better at following directions, listening, and body awareness, all of which we attribute to class at Xcel. This has been a great physical outlet for our son, and we are so happy we decided to try this! He very much looks forward to class and asks everyday whether it is a Lil Dragons day.

Mr. T runs the best program I have seen for this age range and based on graduation - for all ages! My son soaks in every word at class and not only remembers but abides by it. Healthy snacks, breathing, proper exercise, listen and help others - all messaging that he really takes to heart. And the program itself is beyond anything I could imagine. Highly recommend.

Best decision I have ever made! Started working out at Xcel to improve my posture and my core and 8 weeks later my body has realign itself properly and I feel my core now as I get stronger & stronger! I also have dropped fat and gained muscle. Fabio is the best. He is on top of your progress and guide you step by step, every step of the way! He truly goes above and beyond for you and your fitness progress. Its all up to you and how bad you want it! If ur ready for change, real results, look no further. Xcel Taekwondo and Fitness Training! Thanks Fabio!!!

Our son has had a wonderful experience at Xcel Taekwondo. I would highly recommend Xcel to anyone looking for a fun, safe environment where your child can work on listening skills, following directions and coordination drills all while learning the technique of Taekwondo.

Xcel Taekwondo Center is a world-class Taekwondo dojang. I trained under Master Takahashi for many years, as a member of a competitive team that included Xcel, as well as other Boston-region Taekwondo centers. I have always appreciated Master Takahashi’s style of instruction. He is excellent at teaching the foundations of Taekwondo, as well as the advanced techniques and strategy of competitive sparring.Master Takahashi has a proven track record of developing elite athletes, taking them in as young beginners or as seasoned adult-aged athletes. Master Takahashi also has international coaching experience, as the head coach of Jamaica’s National Taekwondo team. Whether you are parents wanting to send their kids to fun recreational Taekwondo classes, teenagers wanting to pick up a competitive olympic sport, or seasoned adult-aged martial artists, Xcel Taekwondo Center is the place for you.

We love Xcel Taekwondo with Mr. T! My son says it’s so fun because you get to play games like “chicken cross the road” and dodgeball. As a parent, I love how my son learns discipline, control, flexibility, strength all while having fun. Mr. T is the best!

This place is a perfect taekwondo studio, it doesn’t just teach you taekwondo but many skills for the real world. It gives you self confidence and empowers you to make smart decisions. The teaching by Mr.T is great and it has changed my life in a good way. I started here when I was very young and I loved every minute of it. It was difficult at some points but it taught me perseverance. This is a great school with a great teacher, I highly recommend it!!

Both of my sons have been students at Xcel since they were 4 years old (now 8 & 10) and love it. They have progressed over the years from Little Dragons to Dragons and aspire to attain their black belts one day. Classes are both fun and educational. Students are taught not only the skills necessary to succeed at AAU sanctioned competitions, but also personal discipline which is essential to succeed in life. Mr. T is a devoted and respected instructor who the boys look up to and are anxious to please. They have also made good friends at Xcel and have advanced through the ranks with many familiar faces. Highly recommend!

Fabio (aka Mr T) and his team run a great program that paces the kids through various competitive physical exercises, forms, one step self defense (simulated take downs) and sparring for older or accomplished kids, as they work through the requirements to earn new belts. Kids learn respect and build self esteem. Belt ceremonies are great recognition for each child. Highly recommend.

We’ve been taking our son for 1.5 years to Mr. Fabio T’s Xcel Taekwondo class and he has treated our son with so much care and patience. He also treats us with respect, fairness, and kindness. We really enjoy watching our son grow and learn not only valuable physical skills but learn respect, discipline, and life lessons. He is very good with kids, my son loves him. Highly recommend him as a Taekwondo instructor!

Take Fabio’s personal training. I’ve worked out with him for a couple of years and have never been in better shape. He’ll keep you motivated and give you a good balance of cardio and weight training. Just do it!

I love Xcel. This is a fantastic program. Kids get so much out of Mr T’s instruction. And it’s not just that they learn taekwondo. They develop self confidence, independence and perseverance. They develop goal setting and leadership skills. They learn teamwork. They get stronger, more coordinated and develop athletic skills that carry over to any other sport they play.Mr. T always refers to the Xcel family, and that’s exactly right. It’s a family where expectations are high but the kids are supported through their journey up the ranks. As my daughter told me once, “Mr. T expects you to do your best and wants you to succeed. He’s always fair.”I highly recommend Xcel Taekwondo.

Review №34

Our son saw kids in the old location, in the Hanover Mall, going through their forms two years ago and told his grandmother he wanted to try taekwondo. Now, a few belts in, he’s gained self-confidence and is feeling empowered to teach younger kids what he has learned in class. The instructors are excellent, and fully understand how to work with kids, to get the best out of them. The kids can choose to participate in tournaments or not, and the option is always open to them to take that next step in their sporting lives.Aside from self-defense, the sport teaches discipline, self-control and the aforementioned self-confidence. We’re proud to be an Xcel family.

This place is really fun! Speaking from experience, its a great place to be active for people who dont like most sports. Taekwondo will initially be quite difficult for most, but it is really rewarding to learn new techniques, forms, and kicks. I highly recommend Xcel Taekwondo Center for... well, everyone!

They enjoy sparring and competing.Master Takahashi is passionate about the progress and well being of his students.The classes are always very well organized, and the instructors motivate the kids in a fun and energizing way.

My son has been a student here for 2 years. Not only has he learned the technical skills of Taekwondo, but he has also gained self-confidence and learned respect for elders and his fellow students. The focus of the school is on both technical and individual development. Master Takahashi places an emphasis on respect for yourself and others. I highly recommend this school for anyone looking to develop personally or in the sport itself.

I have seen so many children grow and develop through the Taekwondo programs offered at Xcel Taekwondo. Both of my children have flourished in the programs. Regardless of what type of experience you seek for your children, Xcel teaches self-control and discipline and allows the student to move at their own pace, whether competitively or recreationally. This is an amazing martial arts school that provides a solid foundation for sports and life.
