Welcome to Oratia Kickboxing & Boxing (OKB), where self-defence, fitness, and community come together!
OKB was founded by Kaleb Cawson with a simple goal: to bring martial arts to Oratia. After noticing a lack of options nearby, a small post in Oratia's Facebook group lead to an overwhelming response which showed just how much this was needed. With the support of the community, we created a space where people of all ages and abilities could train, grow, and connect.
From humble beginnings, we’ve expanded to two locations and a team of four passionate coaches. At OKB, we offer accessible, family-friendly classes that focus not just on fitness, but also on practical self-defense. Our training equips you with the tools to protect yourself while building confidence and mental resilience.
We also pride ourselves on being more than just a gym. OKB is an outlet—a place to relieve stress, grow stronger, and develop discipline. It’s where you can push past limits, build confidence, and feel empowered, all while being part of a supportive and inclusive community.
Since starting, OKB has made a lasting impact, helping people gain life-changing self-defense skills, transform their fitness, and create meaningful connections. And this is just the beginning—we’re ready to take our mission global, spreading the empowering benefits of kickboxing and boxing worldwide.
Join the OKB family and take the first step toward a stronger, more confident you. 🥊💪
