What's with the new name?

The club was originally going to be called Folkestone Shoshinkan Aikido to reflect the strong relationship we have with our sibling dojo Sevenoaks Shoshinkan Aikido.

However, as I sat sipping Sencha Sakura (green tea with cherry blossom); contemplating the Spring and the blossom of the 'Great White Cherry' (Prunus Tai Haku) that grows in my garden; and the blossoms of Cherry Garden Avenue around the corner; the penny dropped.

So Sakurakan Aikido it is.

Hope you like it...
