PROVIDING HIGH-QUALITY MARTIAL ARTS
Right in the middle of Shortsville, there’s something pretty special happening at McGraw’s Martial Arts. It’s not just about learning to throw a punch or mastering a kick; it’s about building a tight-knit community where everyone, kids and adults alike, can find their place, grow their confidence, and step up as leaders who’ve got more than just muscle.
See, martial arts is way more than what you see in movies. It’s about getting on a journey that teaches you the tough stuff — discipline, respect, and the kind of perseverance that sticks with you. Shortsville, with all its energy and diversity, is the perfect backdrop for what we’re doing at McGraw’s Martial Arts. We’re not just here to teach; we’re here to make a difference, helping our members become not only confident in themselves but also kind, smart, and ready to make good choices.
For the kiddos walking into our dojo, it’s about giving them a boost in more ways than one. With all the stuff they face these days — think bullying or just the pressure to fit in — martial arts gives them a solid base of self-esteem and a big dose of respect for themselves and others. Our classes are all about showing them how sticking with something, even when it gets tough, can make them not just better at martial arts but better at life. They learn to tackle challenges with a smile and stand tall, knowing they can handle whatever comes their way.
And for the adults? Shortsville can be a whirlwind, and McGraw’s Martial Arts is that spot where they can catch their breath, connect with others, and work on being their best selves. It’s more than just breaking a sweat; it’s about finding a community where everyone’s on the same quest for self-improvement. Whether it’s about ditching stress, getting fit, or finding a deeper sense of purpose, our dojo offers a path that’s about challenging your body, sharpening your mind, and feeding your soul. It’s where adults get to lead by example, showing up strong not just at the gym but in every part of their lives.
Here at McGraw’s Martial Arts, we’re all about the power of martial arts to change lives. We keep things real, focusing on the whole you — body, mind, and spirit. Diving into martial arts with us means facing life head-on with a brave heart and an open mind. We’re proud to be the go-to spot in Shortsville where people come to grow, leaders are made, and the community gets a little bit stronger every day.

My son loves it here! He truly is able to focus and learn. He learns more than just moves and techniques! He learns respect and structure! Most of all they put family first!
Karate and Jujutsu. Dan Mc Graw is an excellent Karate and Jujutsu instructor.
Couldn’t recommend McGraw’s more highly. Professional, lets the kids be kids yet simultaneously instills so many priceless life skills in addition to the karate techniques. It’s been remarkable watching them improve and grow over the last year!
Also appreciate the flexibility and accommodations to keeping the Dojo safe during the pandemic. Kids are able to keep learning online and/or distanced at the Dojo.
My daughter has grown so much in just the first 6 months going to McGraws Martial Arts. It has been great seeing how much she loves going, looks forward to going, and how much she has gained since the very beginning.

My kids have been taking classes for 4 years, I started 3 years ago – steadily working through each goal! Love the philosophy of this school and the accomplishments we’ve made here.
I am a student of Martial arts with over 25 years training with Daisho McGraw. He is an excellent teacher and has great knowledge of martial arts. My sons were students with Daisho McGraw, and I have the honor of teaching my grandsons along with Daisho McGraw. This is three generations of my family training with McGraw’s Martial Arts. I highly recommend Daisho McGraw and McGraw’s Martial Arts. Not only will you get excellent training you build a grate friendship with Daisho McGraw, and the McCraw’s teaching staff.
