– I apologize in advance because I know there have been a few posts about this topic, but most aren’t very recent, so I’m looking for updated opinions.-
So, like the title says, I’m considering Akamonkai Academy for January 2026 and need to decide pretty soon.
A bit about me:
I’m not the best at self-studying at home, but don't get me wrong I do study, especially when it’s something I’m interested in. That said, I usually need that extra “push” from a school to stay motivated. I’ve seen comparisons between Akamonkai and ISI, with people saying ISI is more “chill.” That’s not what I’m looking for. I want that push to help me stay disciplined.
I know Akamonkai is considered a high-intensity school, especially for non-Asian speakers, but is it really that hard? I’ve come across mixed opinions, with some people loving the experience and others not so much.
If you’ve attended Akamonkai, I’d love to hear your opinions and experiences (both good and bad)!
