Playing makoto is fun, never repetitive or boring. Kids will play it for hours. Makoto is fun for anyone and everyone, all ages, all abilities, for individuals or teams.

"In an ideal world, makoto would be in every school and YMCA in the country. Whether you're trying to combat national epidemics like obesity and ADHD, doing serious sports training or just providing a game which is good exercise, makoto is a winner."

Phil Lawler,
PE4LIFE Institute Director

What is Makoto?

The Makoto arena is a triangle with durable 6-foot steel towers rising from each corner. Using your hands, feet, and/or staff, you respond to random audio and visual prompts. Your reaction time and accuracy (actually hitting the lighted area) are measured electronically so you can compete with yourself or others. The speed of the prompts is adjustable for varying abilities.

Why play Makoto?

Therapists, trainers, athletes and special education teachers all remark on how Makoto achieves their purpose while feeling more like a game than "therapy" or "Training". Makoto increases the neurological connections between the brain and the body resulting in improved focus, reaction time and overall coordination and performance. Most importantly, Makoto improves your mental and physical abilities while you're having fun.

Sports Performance

Used by the 2006 World Series Champion St Louis Cardinals baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball team, the Denver Nuggets basketball team, the Air Force of Special Forces training as well as other professional athletes. Makoto combines exercise with the proven science of Sensory Integration therapy to improve neurological and physical performance. A good workout, taking 10-20 minutes, is both physically and mentally demanding.

Work out and wake up!

"I think that Makoto and the whole concept of mental training will revolutionize sports performance training. I guarantee you that in a short period of time, this unbelievable machine will be in every NBA city in the entire U.S. of A. Makoto workouts are remarkable. Hand-eye coordination, reaction time, quickness... it's incredible!"

Steve Hess, Strength and Conditioning Coach

Medical Rehab

"We use makoto for physical, speech and acute therapy. It's beneficial for neurological rehab where the connection between the brain and body needs to be re-introduced. The beauty of Makoto is not just that it's effective AND fun, but that patients' progress is measurable."
