James is dedicated to the system helping people to help themselves in the art of self-defence. James is a disciplined man whose sole aim is for every individual to learn how to protect themselves in the face of physical adversity. Running in various locations across Wales, the Kalah system is being witnessed in schools, the Police force and youth projects. James believes Kalah is a life skill that everyone should know.




What does KALAH mean?

K-Krav in Hebrew meaning fight.

L-Lotar in Hebrew meaning fight against terror.

H-Hagahna in Hebrew meaning defense.

A+A Gives us the Star of David.

KALAH Principles are based on experience in the battlefield.

There are no rules when one defends their self. Just as much as the attacker has no rules. The attacker will use any means possible to obtain their objective. This is why self defense is not easy nor is survival an easy task.

KALAH Classes/Courses are designed to be realistic, effective and to the point.

The training will build the learner mentally and physically, increasing the odds of survival.


The KALAH motto is: GOD FIRST, EGO OUT!

]]> Kunda Kids was founded in 2020 by husband and wife, Dele and Louisa Olafuyi, during the Covid-19 lockdown. The couple couldn’t find modern and engaging content for their son about Africa’s ancient history, so they decided to create their own!


Together, Dele and Louisa began writing Africa’s Little Kings & Queens, a collection of four beautifully illustrated picture books, inspired by some of ancient Africa’s most influential leaders: Queen Yaa Asantewaa, Mansa Musa, Queen Kitami, and Shaka Zulu.


Each vibrant illustration was beautifully drawn and designed by Nigerian Illustrators Isabelle Irabor and Tiolu Yoloye and edited by Krystle Appiah.

Africa’s Little Kings & Queens has sold over 10,000 books and received praise from parents, teachers, schools, and libraries worldwide.

Kunda Kids now has a team of over 20 creatives working to publish new and exciting stories and content emerging and established writers passionate about telling stories inspired by African culture.

It’s a voice that is exciting those in the know on the Reggae scene and Aleighcia has recorded with Julian Marley and more recently been tapped up by both Peckings Records and Rory Stonelove to work on extended length projects to be released in 2018.

At the time of this recording Aleighcia had her first no 1 on iTunes, with her single "I want you" beating Bob Marley, pretty impressive!
