Newcastle Goju-Ryu Karate Academy

We teach modern, fun martial arts to children and adults whilst incorporating a traditional, disciplined approach. If you think you or your child would be interested in trying Karate out, please feel free to contact us with any questions you have. It would be great to see you at one of our classes. We offer a comprehensive fitness program tailored to each person by focusing on one or more specific skills, as well as age/health-related needs. We also focus on mental, social and emotional health, which is an important part of overall fitness; no matter what age.

We practice techniques slowly and gradually get faster, with the aim of constantly increasing maximum speed. Flexibility and a correct warm up improve overall speed. Maximum speed is improved by developing muscular strength, power, strength endurance and technique. We can improve the ability to rapidly change directions without the loss of speed, balance, or body control.
