Well, Akon might be stronger than Nemu, since he's been a Shinigami for over a century and he easily evaded a kick from Hiyori when he was just a child; so he's got some Hakuda skills at least.

Since they're both in Squad 12, which deals with research and development, combat training is probably not considered a priority among the squadmembers; much like the situation in Squad 4.
