We are in need of funding to provide scholarships, uniforms, and gear to our students who can not afford them.
We serve to provide the local community Olympic Style Taekwondo in an atmosphere that will enhance their physical, mental, and spiritual well being.
Yesha Ministries began as a single Tae Kwon Do class at Neptune Baptist Church, Neptune Beach, Florida on June 13, 1983. Classes began with 5 to 7 students and continued to grow rapidly. Within a few years, the classes enlarged to forty. Soon branches in other churches and/or community centers were established.
The non-profit was founded by Charles W. Coker. He is the father of 9 children and a graduate of Luther Rice. He is a 6th Degree Black Belt and two time USA silver medalist.
14 different locations and one college have been home to our schools.
Over 2,500 students have been taught during the 24 years.
Over 200 Black Belts certified.
One Olympic and 7 Junior Olympic qualifiers, plus 24 US National Medalists trained.
