WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE?
MEET OUR TEAM:
Meet the team! Our instructors, junior instructors, managers, CEOs, CMOs, and every other corporate acronym you can think of.
Chief Instructor, Owner
Sensei Ryan Sickles
Sensei Ryan Sickles began his martial arts training at 7-years-old and has worked his way through the ranks to become the owner of OKKA Pitman.
Sensei Sickles has been training in several martial arts for over 20 years. He has experience in Kenpo Karate (obviously), Capoeira, MMA, Tae Kwon Do, Krav Maga, and Wing Chun. The man doesn't sleep.
Sensei Sickles wants nothing more than to share his knowledge with his students and help his students grow in all areas of life. He loves seeing people come full circle!
Senior Instructor
Sensei Charles Walker
Sensei Charles Walker began his martial arts training at the very beginning. He was Sensei Sickle's Sensei and was one of OKKA's first students.
Sensei Walker is a former Police Chief, EMT, and an Army Veteran.
Sensei Walker stresses and personifies the idea that anyone can do martial arts, it is only a matter of the mind.
Although he is currently on medical leave, we still feel him at our dojo and miss him terribly! But of course sending him healing energy and all the love.
