Kaleb Cawson
Hi, I’m Kaleb, the founder of Oratia Kickboxing & Boxing (OKB). My journey with martial arts began when I was just a kid, stepping into a local gym for the first time. At 13, I had my first fight—a moment that sparked a lifelong passion for boxing and kickboxing. Those early experiences taught me discipline, built my confidence, and gave me an outlet that shaped who I am today.
When I moved to Oratia, I noticed there weren’t any martial arts gyms nearby. Remembering how much that first gym had impacted my life, I knew I had to create something similar for this community. After a post in the local Facebook group received overwhelming support, OKB was born. What started as a small initiative has grown into a thriving community with two locations, four amazing coaches, and a mission to make kickboxing and boxing accessible to everyone.
OKB is more than just a gym. It’s an outlet—a place where people can relieve stress, build confidence, and connect with others. My dedication has always been to empower others, just as martial arts empowered me. Whether someone steps into OKB to learn self-defense, improve their fitness, or find a supportive community, I’m proud to provide that space.
Looking ahead, my goal is to take OKB worldwide. I want to share the values of resilience, discipline, and connection with as many people as possible. Martial arts changed my life, and I’m here to help others discover how it can change theirs too.
