Do Your Kids Have Any of These Challenges?
They have trouble listening and often have to be told to do something multiple times before doing it.
They are shy and lack the self-confidence to speak up in class... approach new friends... and be proactive.
They’re bright and intelligent, yet have trouble staying focused and goal oriented both at home and at school.
Luckily There is a Comprehensive and Fun Solution... Better Than Regular Afterschool Programs
Your Child Will Grow with Us!
Where Standard Afterschool Care May Fall Short
-Often focused mainly on supervision

Children are like sponges. They absorb things quickly and easily. Each day they attend Makoto After-School Martial Arts — and each class they take — will increase their empathy… strength… and leadership potential. They will grow mentally, physically and emotionally. Your kids will THRIVE not only at home, but also in school and with peers.
We guarantee your kids will flourish within a few short weeks of being at the Makoto After-School Martial Arts program in Exton and historic Lionville.
Building Lifelong Character and Success Traits!
Your kids’ everyday friends aren’t the main concern anymore when it comes to character development. Now, you have to worry about all the negative influences that social media and the Internet can introduce into your childrens’ lives.
The true benefit of our classes are the character and success traits that are developed through martial arts training. And your kids will gain those skills by…
- Learning the skills and techniques of martial arts.
- Gaining the guidance of our inspirational and experienced instructions and staff.
- Enjoying the positive social interaction with their peers.
By being a part of the Makoto community and classes, your kids will develop a positive outlook on life, the future, and themselves.
Fitness "Disguised."
Today, kids sit around staring at screens and devices for far too long each day. They need to move around more. Be active and get regular exercise.
Classes at the Makoto After-School Program are full of exercise routines desguised in a TON of fun. They’re jam-packed with cool, high-energy and never-repetitive…
- Martial arts drills and games.
- Power yoga routines.
- Strength training circuits.
And with regular exercise, kids sleep better and stay more focused. Good things for success in school. Plus they begin early to develop a healthy habit of being active. A trait they will take with them as they grow to teens and adults.
Defense from Bullies.
We never want our kids to feel scared. They should always feel safe… in control. That’s why our martial arts training at the Makoto After-School Program in Exton and historic Lionville is very serious about teaching your kids’ the skills they need for self-protection in any situation… from a classroom bully or unexpected incident.
But knowing how to defend yourself is only half the battle. So, our classes also teach your kids
- The confidence and discipline needed to diffuse a situation.
- An understanding of when use of force is the only way to walk away.
