About EastCoast Martial Arts and Fitness
EastCoast Martial Arts and Fitness, formerly the East Coast Kickboxing and Karate Academy, is an established club on Howdon Road in North Shields (NE29 6TH), a short journey from Tynemouth village. It teaches kickboxing and karate to both children and adults, mixing striking technique, self-defence and general fitness in classes pitched at a range of ages and abilities from beginners upwards.
As a dedicated martial arts academy rather than a general gym, it offers a proper grading structure and a progression pathway for members who want to develop their skills over time, whether their goal is confidence, fitness or self-defence. Newcomers are encouraged to get in touch to find a suitable class, making it another accessible option for coastal families wanting to try a striking art close to home.
