ASD YOSHOKAN

Founded in 1960 by Master Aldo Di Luigi, Yo Sho Kan began in Ostia as the second sports club in the area and the oldest to teach martial arts. The name "Yo Sho Kan" reflects its coastal and forested location, meaning "Hall of the Pine Forest and Sea." Initially based at Collegio Romano IV Novembre, the dojo moved in 1967 to Villa Rossini, where Di Luigi’s influence as a martial arts master and sports promoter grew.

Today, Yo Sho Kan continues to thrive in Ostia at Via Genoese Zerbi, where it remains a dojo—not just a gym—emphasizing martial arts as a way of life. The dojo has expanded to other locations in the Xth Municipality, including Casal Palocco-Axa and KiFlow Sporting Center. The legacy continues with Di Luigi’s children, Massimo and Paola.
