Nintai Martial Arts

Practical Adaptable ∼ Inclusive

Welcome to Nintai Martial Arts

Nintai Martial Arts is based in Bedlington, Northumberland.
We are a Shotokan karate dojo, but we enhance our training by including  aspects of other martial arts.

Our dojo is founded on the principle that karate should be accessible to everyone, and it should be adaptable to the needs of the student.

We believe that no martial art is superior to another, as they all contribute to the development of the individual, and they should all be respected. Our training foundation is Shotokan karate, which is then combined with elements of other martial arts. Our lead instructor’s own experiences include Shotokan and Wado-Ryu karate, with the occasional  addition of aikido and ju jitsu.  

We can all learn from each other.
