News Title : Hanshi John Taylor, RIP
News Date : 2023-09-27
News Summary : It is with great sadness that we advise you of the death of our chairman Hanshi John Taylor (07 Jun 1941 - 27 Sep 2023).

John began his Kyokushin journey sixty years ago and was, at one time, a full time student of Sosai Mas Oyama. After receiving his Sandan he was one of the founders of AKKA and then elected chairman. For over six decades Hanshi taught Kyokushin Karate to thousands of students and promoted the growth of Kyokushin Karate in Australia, the South Pacific and Internationally. His contributions and leadership to Kyokushin Karate have left an indelible mark on all past and present karateka, Senpai, Sensai and Shihan (Hanshi's kohai). He will certainly be truly missed by all those who knew him.

We wish to send the AKKA's deepest condolences to his family at this very sad time.

News Title : Shinan Tony Bowden
News Date : 2023-05-11
News Summary : Shihan Tony Bowden has been in hospital for over 2 weeks and will be there for some time. He has problems with both legs but is improving.

Being unable to work or do anything at all is a big strain on him and his finances, especially with Chile at the end of the year.

It was suggested to me that we should start a Go Fund Me page for him to help him with his medical and other expenses. I had no hesitation in doing this as he has given is heart and soul to Kyokushin in Queensland and Australia over many years.
