What an epic week for Akagawa Karate.

It started off with holding two Women's Introduction to Self Defence workshops for the staff at Cornwall Airport Newquay as part of Airports UK Safety week.

The courses were open to any women working at the airport. The venue was the Airports Fire Station with one of their brand new fire appliances as a back drop. The participants were given tuition in state of awareness, de-escalation, strike points and techniques.

The sessions finished with some more technical locks etc just to give an appreciation of what other techniques are available as part of further training.

The feedback received was positive so we are hoping to make this a regular thing.

Next up was one of our quarterly gradings today. We are a small non profit set up so this quarters grading was a little under attended unfortunately but we power on.

This grading however gave us two new grades, one young lady called Grace who is a volunteering machine. She is currently doing her DoE and has just completed the Pretty Mudder with her mum. Today she added a 3rd Kyu blue belt to her accolade taking her to sempai level and is well on her way to her 1st Dan Black Belt......

On that note though, today was another milestone as we welcomed another Shodan into the ranks. Please give it up for Sempai Faye Collett. Sempai Faye has worked hard over the last 5 years chipping away at the belts when she started as a novice in 2021 with her mum. Her mum became our first true Dan grade in November 2024 and Faye is a chip of the block. Although she is only 12 years old, she did an outstanding grading today showing maturity and great understanding.

We can't wait to see how she progresses and grows not just as a karate ka but as a well rounded human being.

Congratulations to all who passed their grades today and thanks to all who attended the self defence workshops earlier this week.

Its been an epic week and thorough satisfying. Teaching martial arts is amazing and its the people we meet that make it worthwhile.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 👊🥋

And with that the 007 franchise is over. 63 years is a good run, I guess, but let's see what happens now.

A series about the young and old bond, a spin off about Jane Bond, his long lost sister along with some other series about the baddies.

RIP James Bond. 😪
