Makowski’s Martial Arts Owners & Head Instructors
Makowski’s Martial Arts & Fitness is a family owned and operated business that specializes in giving the whole family a place to grow individually. You cannot help but notice the family atmosphere among the instructors, students, and spectators while, at the same time, witnessing serious martial arts training. We are passionate about providing a positive environment and an atmosphere where every student and visitor feels special and is assisted in achieving their goals…a place where everyone can achieve their goals and personal best.
We focus on personal improvement and welcome everyone. We are pleased to be a part of the community and to be contributing to it positively through our students. We are proud to be helping many children who might have learning or physical disabilities. And we are humble enough to continue to train and compete to improve our skills and abilities, to lead by example, to share our knowledge, and to approach others to gain knowledge to help others and to improve ourselves.
The instructors and staff at Makowski’s Martial Arts & Fitness provide expert guidance and take pride in delivering the highest quality martial arts instruction. Our instructors bring their passions and strengths to the school. Each brings specialized expertise that delivers a strong and balanced martial arts program.
Our program is anchored by Songahm Taekwondo and is complimented by Krav Maga, Defense Labs, traditional Taekwondo, Shotokan Karate, and military ju jitsu. The blend of martial arts styles and weapons guides our goal to provide students with a complete martial arts background that trains both the body and mind.
In addition, our instructors’ training and knowledge in law enforcement defensive tactics and de-escalation, sport martial arts, and real-world fighting systems has Pennsylvania state-wide, approved status by the Municipal Police Officers’ Education Training Commission (MPOETC). Makowski’s Martial Arts and Fitness LLC, in collaboration with Community One Pubic Safety Training Initiative (COPS-1) provides both Mandatory In-service Training (MIST) and Continuing Law Enforcement Education training (CLEE).
