Team Phoenix Martial Arts

The very best in Newcastle! You're not going to find anyone more friendly nor sharper.

Excellent place to train and learn new skills

I first arrived at Team Phoenix nearly 2 years ago looking for a new place to train martial arts, and I can honestly say I have found so much more than just a martial arts gym.

The instructors and coaches are both incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about their particular styles but they are also friendly and grounded. Because of their passion, the instructors are always training and learning as well as the students they teach and, despite their incredible breadth of knowledge and experience, they are the most humble and humorously self deprecating group of people I've met. As a result, you never feel like your question is stupid or that you’re not good enough because they set the example that all of us are there to learn and develop.

The gym caters for numerous martial arts styles and if I had the time I would train each one. The teaching style is friendly and focussed on meeting each student’s own particular goals, whether that be to fight professionally, as some of the students do, to learn a new skill or simply to keep fit, lose a little weight and meet a few new people.

Team Phoenix boasts an impressive venue with the largest training area I have seen and an excellent range of equipment for all of the styles taught there. Additionally, it has great facilities both male and female changing, WCs, a large area to warm up in while you wait for your class, and a few cosy seats to rest on in between.

What really makes Team Phoenix however is the amazing atmosphere that's created by the instructors and coaches and reverberated through the students. The unofficial motto is; work hard, play hard and there is plenty of fun to join in with outside the gym.

Since coming here I've met an amazing group of friends and had some fantastic times. I've exceeded my original goals and am setting new ones all the time and I couldn't be happier.
