“I have been training at Makoto for a year now, and I can honestly say that the experience has been life-altering. I've always wanted to train in the martial arts, and I couldn't be happier that I finally made the decision to start. My advice to anyone considering this is to take the plunge. You won't be disappointed. As a 46-year-old man, I am living proof that it's never too late to start! I highly recommend the website special for all beginners at Makoto of Deer Park!"

“I have been attending Makoto Dojo for a little over a year now, and it has exceeded all my expectations. Initially unsure if Jiu Jitsu was for me, I now regret not starting years ago. This is not your cookie-cutter dojo. Makoto Dojo is exceptionally clean, well-organized, and equipped with a phenomenal staff. Sensei Jerry is an amazing instructor, not only in the physical aspects of Jiu Jitsu but also in instilling the psychological mindset needed for total success in all aspects of life. I wholeheartedly recommend Makoto Dojo to adults and children alike!"

“Out of all the sports my kids participate in, Makoto Jiu Jitsu is hands down the best! Not only do they have a blast, but they also develop essential qualities like self-respect and confidence. The instructors at Makoto are exceptional, creating a positive and nurturing environment for kids to thrive. I am truly impressed with the progress and growth I've seen in my children since they started training at Makoto. I highly recommend Makoto Jiu Jitsu to any parent looking to provide their children with a transformative and enriching martial arts experience!

“Makoto Jiu Jitsu is an excellent place to learn self-defense. I've been training in the teen/adult class for nearly three years and it has been a life-changing experience. Shihan Jerry is a compassionate and caring instructor who treats everyone with respect. I highly recommend Makoto Jiu Jitsu to anyone aged 4 and above who wants to develop discipline, confidence, kindness, and self-defense skills. Take advantage of the awesome website special to get started as a beginner!"
