Aileen Arbas
"My son who is very shy and quiet, is slowly but surely becoming more confident and learning how to stand for himself since he joined here. He loves it here. Highly recommend it."
AudioExploder NCT
"Makoto Jiu Jitsu deserves a 5/5 star review from me for the incredible work they are doing with my 5- and 6-year-old sons. The staff genuinely care about the kids and go above and beyond to teach them confidence, discipline, and other essential life skills that prepare them for the world. Watching my boys grow stronger, more focused, and more self-assured through their training has been an amazing experience. This is more than just a martial arts school—it’s a place where kids are supported, encouraged, and shaped into the best versions of themselves. Makoto Jiu Jitsu is a true asset to our community!"
S T
"My five year old daughter absolutely loves taking classes at Makoto Jiu Jitsu! It’s been almost six months since her first lesson and not only is she learning so much but she is also becoming more and more confident in her abilities. All of the instructors are incredibly kind and patient and they make sure that all of the kids are not only learning techniques safely but having a lot of fun as well."
Michael Montana
"I have noticed a clear rise in self confidence in my son, Will M. He looks forward to train with his Jiu Jitsu friends. The instructors are great and extremely patient. I recommend Makoto to anyone starting to train or an experienced MMA wanting to expand their knowledge of the sport."
