Newton Aycliffe Karate Club

ABOUT
Newton Aycliffe Karate Club traces its roots to the 1960s. We are a community-run club offering practical karate training for adults and children.

We focus on realistic self-defence, fitness, applied traditional learning, and steady progression — taught in a supportive, respectful environment.

We are fully affiliated with the British Combat Karate Association, and work closely with its senior members.

Training covers:
Fundamental karate techniques
Fitness, balance, and coordination
Confidence and self-control
Structured progression at your own pace
You do not need prior experience, a high level of fitness, or specialist equipment to start.

CHILDREN & JUNIOR CLASSES (from 6yr old)
We also run well-established junior classes focused on:
Discipline and focus
Confidence and self-respect
Safe, structured physical activity
Classes are age-appropriate and taught with care and consistency.
