The children's programs use age-specific curriculums, and Tyke Kwon Do uses strong visual cues to help children align with their achievements and goals through an exclusive platform for martial arts. The teen and adult programs focus on high-intensity fitness and real self-defense that applies in today's world, and the Youth Taekwondo program includes a workout, self-defense skills, and a bonding experience.

The center states that by creating a positive, hard-working environment with instructors who serve as role models, it contributes to a safe and peaceful community.
Parent and student testimonials describe friendly and professional owners and instructors, a “family” environment, and instructors who work with students as individuals. Families report long-term participation, describe the studio as clean and organized, and note that children look forward to attending classes. Testimonials also mention online training during the COVID-19 lockdown, daily online classes during the Coronavirus outbreak, and experiences of improved stamina, strength, confidence, discipline, perseverance, fighting spirit, and physical abilities, as well as skills and character traits that last a lifetime. Multiple reviewers highly recommend Excel Taekwondo Center and praise Masters Ulysses and Catherine Marcelino and the instructor team.
