About Us
Nestled in the heart of Rockford, Excel Academy of Tae Kwon Do is more than just a martial arts studio; it's a community led by the passionate and esteemed Bennie Gonzalez, affectionately known as Master G. With a rich history stretching back nearly three decades, our academy has become a cornerstone of martial arts training in the area.
Master G's journey in martial arts began in the mid-1980s, marking the start of a lifelong dedication to the sport. His journey is one of passion, discipline, and a deep connection with each student who walks through our doors. Under his guidance, Excel Academy has flourished, becoming a nurturing ground for young and aspiring martial artists.
Our programs cater to all ages and skill levels, from our Tiger Tots program, designed to introduce 3-6 year olds to the fundamentals of martial arts, to our advanced weapons and sparring classes. Each program is infused with the ethos of respect, discipline, and excellence that Master G embodies.
The success stories of our students, who have ascended to Grand, National, and World Champion titles, are a testament to Master G's exceptional mentorship. Yet, his role extends beyond that of an instructor; for many, he is a father figure, mentor, and an unwavering pillar of support. His passion for martial arts and the personal and athletic success of his students radiates through every class, every lesson, and every interaction at Excel Academy.
