Welcome to NFKA Bedlington, a karate club that is a proud member of the Northern Freestyle Karate Association (NFKA). Our club is dedicated to providing a friendly and inclusive environment for individuals of all ages and experiences to practise karate in Bedlington.
At NFKA Bedlington, we follow a sporting style of karate that emphasises freedom of movement and incorporates the best of traditional and modern systems. Our skilled instructors prioritise the quality of instruction, ensuring that students develop discipline and technical excellence. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a complete beginner, our club welcomes you to push yourself further and achieve your karate goals.
Karate is truly an activity that the whole family can participate in, and NFKA Bedlington is well-equipped to cater to family participation. We offer classes for children from approximately 5 years old, with our little Ninja's classes starting from 4 years old (depending on willingness to learn). Our adult classes attract members with a wide range of ages, from teenagers to individuals in their forties and fifties. Regardless of age or gender, all we ask for is a reasonable standard of fitness and a willingness to learn in a friendly yet disciplined environment.
If it has been some time since you engaged in energetic activities or if you have previous health concerns, we recommend consulting with one of our instructors or your doctor before commencing training. Our main junior class typically accommodates individuals between the ages of 5 and 13, while everyone else trains in the senior class. In fact, we encourage parents to join in and train alongside their children, as we have many family groups that regularly train together.
The atmosphere in our classes is nothing short of electric, leaving a lasting impression on first-time visitors. Many are captivated by the camaraderie and positive environment that characterises our form of freestyle karate. Not only is karate an excellent outlet for stress from work, but it also offers a fantastic opportunity for physical exercise.
To accommodate the schedules of our members, NFKA Bedlington offers classes on various weekdays and weekends. We have convenient training locations in Bedlington as well as in nearby areas such as North Shields, Cramlington, Wallsend, Blyth, and more.
