A great class this evening focusing on Empi techniques and Keri-Waza . Non stop Kihon, concluding with Ippon-Kumite . Focus is always on Kihon at this Dojo. If the basic technique is good, the rest will fall into place!

Keep pushing!

There are many interpretations of the term ‘Bushido’ – In Richard Amos Sensei’s book ‘Chasing Bushido’ it is defined as “the warrior code of honour”. This is a concept that we try to build into every class at Akashi, helping our students train with intensity, focus and honour – something we hope will serve them well throughout their lives.
