“I was on my phone looking up about Aikido and I was surprised that there was a school in Cape Coral, just an hour from home. I was curious and called the phone number on the page. (239-677-4331) This was my best decision that same day to talk and to visit Sensei Joe. The Aikido’ s mentality he talks about feels well aligned with the lessons that I receive from my inner teachers. I seek enlightenment. The place is clean and organized and that makes me happy. Sometimes there are children around. They're so much fun and it's a blessing to watch them while they train. The lessons are interesting. Sensei Joe is a very detailed teacher who closely follows the progress of his students. He has so much energy! And he's also creative. You'll never be bored at the dojo. Discipline, perseverance, consistency, empathy, and patience are just some of the qualities that we can develop by practicing Yoshinkan Aikido and that inspires me to continue advancing on this journey. I feel safe while learning the techniques and I am always excited to come back for more training. I am grateful that Sensei Joe and Yoshinkan Aikido are now a part of my life.“

“Great place to learn the arts. Down to earth instruction for children as well as middle aged people like me?“
“Dan is the best. I have had my son in his class for over a year now. My son loves it and so do we. He is learning a lot. He is staying/getting into shape. His confidence has went up. We also have him in Taekwondo but we love Dan's place way more. Dan does such a great job with everyone. We will be coming here till Dan gets tired of us.“
“We had the opportunity to visit from West Virginia. Master David was very informative and welcoming. The students and staff were great. Thank you for allowing us to visit, and sharing ideas.“
“Our son is so happy to go to his classes. We can already see him starting to be more behaved and respectful. Totally recommend to any parents trying to find an activity for kiddos.“
