Jonathan C. says, "Outstanding Aikido – A Truly Transformative Experience! My wife and I have had the absolute privilege of training under Jon and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From day one, he created a welcoming and encouraging environment where both of us felt comfortable, challenged, and inspired to grow. Jon has an incredible ability to break down techniques with clarity, making even complex movements feel approachable. His deep knowledge of Aikido is matched only by his patience, dedication, and genuine passion for teaching. Every class is not just a lesson in martial arts but also an opportunity to develop mindfulness, discipline, and confidence. What sets Jon apart is the way he tailored his teaching to each student’s needs, ensuring that both beginners and experienced practitioners feel supported. My wife and I have both seen tremendous improvement in our skills, and we always leave class feeling energised and motivated. If you’re looking for an Aikido instructor who is not only technically skilled but also an outstanding mentor and role model, look no further than Jon. We highly recommend his classes to anyone wanting to learn Aikido in an uplifting and enriching environment! Thank you, Jon, for your dedication and for helping both of us on this journey!"See more

Leah was very thorough, I hired her for an RV park self defense class and she came on time and explained everything in detail. She then showed us some techniques if someone was to attack you from the back and front and many other valuable techniques. I would highly recommend her!

Lila was right on time (early, actually) and hit it off with my girls right away. She got down to business with them quickly and I could tell that although the girls were being challenged they were having fun. I look forward to seeing them progress in self defense technique over the next several weeks.

I wanted some private self defense classes this summer for my daughters and their friend to help prepare them for college and high school, respectively. Don came highly recommended when I checked his references. He came up to Fort Myers from Estero twice and 3 times a week over a period of 4 weeks to teach them. He was reliable, on-time and completely professional, tempered with a nurturing attitude. I was amazed at how much they learned and how much they enjoyed it. Don is an excellent teacher and helped my shy daughters find new confidence in themselves. I highly recommend his services.
