Question: WHAT IS THE BEST SELF-DEFENSE?
Answer: WALK AWAY!

- UPDATE: Where is the Makowski's Martial Arts(MMA) Sign?
WE ARE OPEN FOR BUSINESS AND ACCEPTING STUDENTS FOR TAEKWONDO & KRAV MAGA TRAINING.
Route 228/Ekastown Road is being widened. If you travel the roadway, you've seen crews working on trees and other utilities.
- HOW DOES THAT IMPACT MMA?
Our sign has to be moved back because it would be in the new right of way. There will also be a turning lane headed East on 228 onto Lardintown Road that will provide better access to enter the Makowski's Martial Arts & Fitness LLC Training Facility.
- WHAT"S NEXT?
We'll be installing a temporary sign and then reinstalling the sign as shown in the picture; just moved back into the property a little farther. We understand that utilities, e.g., gas lines, telephone poles, water drainage pipes, etc. will be the work done through the end of 2026. Roadwork is planned to commence in the Spring of 2027.
- SEE YOU IN CLASS! STAY SAFE!
