Little Dragons Karate

Our Little Dragons Program focuses on children ages 2.5 to 6 years old. The program is designed to teach basic karate skills while improving a child’s ability to focus, follow instruction, and engage confidently and constructively with their fellow students. Because each child is different, Mrs. Coakley’s background in education provides a unique mix of teaching techniques in small group and individual instruction settings.

As parents who have watched our children grow up with Karate in their lives, we believe in the power of our program to have a positive influence on children, inside and outside the Dojo. Mrs. Coakley is always available to help address issues students may be struggling with – both at karate and at home.

Juniors and Adult Karate

Because OKKA – Mullica Hill is a family focused martial arts program, we believe our students and parents should have the opportunity to train together as a family. Our curriculum focuses on mastery of kicks, combinations, kata, and self-defense elements. Our CIT trained instructors focus on providing motivation to students to achieve their personal best.

At OKKA, we focus on the “whole child” approach; our karate curriculum is supplemented by our STAR Program for character and life skills development, and our Academic Achievement Program to encourage and recognize academic excellence in our students.

Leadership - The Journey to Blackbelt

The OKKA Leadership program is an important step in the journey to Black Belt and beyond.    Students who have demonstrated a comittment to earning their Black Belt are invited to join the Leadership Program.   An invitation to the Leadership Program represents a mutual commitment between student and instructor to the goal of Black Belt.  

This OKKA program is the result of 30 years of experience in martial arts and leadership training.   The program is designed to build martial arts and leadership skills, as well as self-confidence and help students establish and achieve goals.

The OKKA Leadership Programs presents that next level of karate curriculum and introduces weapon katas and the application of the curriculum through structured, supervised sparring.  

Character Development STAR program

Included in our Karate Programs, the STAR program is centered on themes which our students are asked to demonstrate during the month.  Parents and teachers are asked to complete a brief description of how the student has demonstrated the theme at home and school.  The form is read in class and the student receives a gold star patch for his/her uniform.

Academic Achievement

Included in our Karate Programs, the Academic Achievement program is for students who earn the equivalent of A’s and B’s (3s and 4s) in all subjects during a marking period.   The student brings their report card to class (originals are returned) where it is reviewed during class by the instructor, and the student is awarded a red star patch for his/her uniform.
