The real deal in martial arts dojo's! Two of my kids have put their trust in owner/instructor Nick and he is the best in town. Great schedule of classes and friendly staff. Tried other karate spots and Excel was by far the best. More...

We went for their free community event "Stranger Danger". If their class times for my kiddos age range worked for us, I'd have signed up on the spot! ! Unfortunately due to both my hubbys and my work schedules we cant make their times work (understandable and NOT a con- our schedules are odd). I will say, any event they put on that we can attend- paid or free- we will be there!! They truly care about the kids, the Sensei had his own kids there. I recommend this gym to all parents, and once our schedules even out I will be calling them to see what times we can schedule my kiddos to go! I didnt ask, but hopefully theyll have something for my 3yo too! More...

Sensei Nick is great with kids and his programs are very helpful! His programs help with the real world applications such as hand eye coordination, confidence, and self discipline. My 4 year old daughter is currently taking lessons with him now. She enjoys it. I highly recommend joining his free lessons, so you can see for yourself how fun it is and enjoyable! More...

My two boys have been with training with Sensei Nick for five years now. Sensei is a dedicated instructor who knows his stuff. This is not a fast track program to getting your black belt, but rather a program that encourages true dedication and perseverance. Sensei makes them work for it. In today's instant gratification society the lessons he teaches are priceless. More...

This is, by far, the best possible place you could consider taking your children to if you want them to develop into well-rounded people of consideration, self-control and discipline - let alone having the ability to defend one's self if a situation requires it. Sensei Nick, Sensei Lewis and the family-oriented culture at Excel Karate & Krav embody a positive approach to training, development and self-control. Although both Sensei's have different approaches, the strategy is a win-win combination. My 4-year-old son loves his lessons, with either Sensei. As opposed to Kiva H.'s review below: the parent's night out is a FREE opportunity for the children to have fun. She didn't have to pay, as she purports. My son is the most important person in the world, and I have no hesitation leaving him in the capable hands of the Sensei, even though I would rather sit back and watch all of the activities because they're so much fun. Black & white characters on a screen can't compare with a healthy sense of humor. My son attends classes nearly every day, and the Sensei's healthy sense of humor combined with his expectation of discipline keeps the kids doing what they're supposed to be doing, and at the same time: Everyone loves the Sensei. He does what he does not just to provide for his family, but to contribute to the development of a future generation of people who have culture, understanding and the ability to out-think and out-manuevre their opponents. I could go on, and on about all the great things about Excel Karate & Krav and how it's MUCH better than any other dojo in Las Vegas (and I know because I looked at a LOT of places before I decided on Excel).... but I digress: I HIGHLY recommend Excel Karate & Krav More...

My sons started Shotokan Karate and Krav Maga year ago and I have nothing but good things to say. The instructors are amazing, the owner (also instructor) is extremely patient. My sons have learned so much in a short period of time. If you want to be truly trained in martial arts, bring yourself here. The instructors take the time to make sure you are building basics before moving on to more complicated movements. The instructors are knowledgeable and explain each movement accurately and emphasizes on each step helping you fine-tune your technique. The personalized attention given to each student means that everyone from young to older is able to find success. More...

Sensei Nick is a great instructor and amazing martial artist. I grew up training with him. He's very knowledgable and has always invited us to his events. As one of his former assistants (joe) his kids program is very solid. It's fun and a variety if activities that involve games through training through karate. I have used some his methods into our school. Sensei Nick is stern in his training methods but understands to stay current in today society for karate. Thank Sensei for showing some tips! Osu!

One of the BEST martial arts and fitness studio in Las Vegas. And the instructor "Nick" (Catalin Neagu) was my former training partner in Romania: one of the most talented and professional karate and krav maga teacher.
