Join Hundreds of Happy Martial Arts Families

From New Lenox to Mokena to Garnet Valley, see why families throughout Will County trust Gracie Barra

"My daughter was painfully shy and getting picked on at Mount Pleasant High School. After just two months at Mahato Karate, she walks taller, speaks up in class, and the bullying stopped completely. The instructors truly care about each child's growth."

— Jennifer M., Wilmington

"Started with just my son, now my wife and I train too. We drive from Claymont three times a week and it's worth every minute. Lost 25 pounds, gained a family activity, and my kids actually want to spend time with us!"

— Mike R., Boothwyn

"At 43, I was intimidated to start. The Mahato Karate program made it easy – everyone was welcoming and patient. Six months later, I'm in the best shape since high school. Better than any gym in Garnet Valley."

— David K., Garnet Valley

Martial Arts

"We've tried every sport in Booths Corner. Nothing stuck until Mahato Karate. My son's ADHD is manageable now, his grades improved, and he found real friends. The discipline carries over into everything. Worth every penny."

— Amanda S., Booth's Corner
