Mas Oyama's Kyokushin Karate Australia - Northern Rivers

Another weekend another tournament. This time I bought my best mate with me 😀🤜

Fantastic day at the All Australian So Kyokushin Nationals with Sempai Brad from Coffs Harbour dojo getting first place and Jokobe getting third place. Well done team MOKKA fighting like champions. 💪🤜 OSU!

A few more photos from yesterday’s presentation to Grant Radonich and training session at new MOKKA Ballina Dojo.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic afternoon celebrating the new MOKKA Ballina Dojo.

A special thank you to Sensei John Klose, Sensei Grant Radonich, Shihan Rick Cunningham, Shihan Paul Finnerty, Shihan Mark McFadden, Sensei Trish Tan and Sensei Blayne Gale for being part of such a memorable occasion.

It was a true honour to award Sensei Grant Radonich his San Dan (3rd Dan) and to recognise his contribution as one of the pioneers of Kyokushin Karate in Australia. Grant also represented Australia at the very first Kyokushin World Tournament in Tokyo — an incredible piece of Australian Kyokushin history.

To have so many respected Kyokushin seniors and legends together in the one room was something very special. It was a great opportunity to catch up, share some old stories and celebrate the history and spirit of Kyokushin, while also showcasing the next chapter with our new dojo.

Thank you to everyone who travelled to be there and helped make the afternoon such a success.

Osu! 🥋

Another great night of kids classes. Our smaller classes means your child doesn’t get lost like in larger kids classes.

As parents, we all want the same thing—to see our children grow into confident, respectful, resilient young people.

At MOKKA Ballina Dojo, karate is about so much more than punches and kicks. It’s about building confidence, teaching respect, developing resilience, and helping every child believe in themselves.

Unlike large classes where it’s easy to get lost in the crowd, we intentionally keep our classes small so every student receives personal attention and encouragement.

On most training nights, your child will be learning from multiple experienced black belts, each bringing years of teaching experience and a genuine passion for helping students succeed. That means more individual coaching, more feedback, and more opportunities for your child to grow.

Whether your child is shy, full of energy, or simply looking for a positive challenge, our supportive dojo provides a safe place to learn, make friends, and develop skills that last a lifetime.

We also welcome adults of all ages and experience levels who want to improve their fitness, learn practical self-defence, and be part of a positive community.

When you join MOKKA Ballina, you’re not just signing up for karate classes—you’re joining a family that genuinely cares about every student’s journey.

🥋 Small classes.
🥋 Experienced black belt instructors.
🥋 Personalised coaching.
🥋 A supportive community where every student matters.

Come and experience the difference for yourself.
