About The Advanced Fighting Centre

The Advanced Fighting Centre is a martial arts gym at 10 High Bridge in Newcastle city centre, established in 1993 and only a short walk or Metro ride from Jesmond. It teaches a broad mix of disciplines including kickboxing, boxing, MMA, Ninjutsu and open-mat sessions, with striking, grappling, footwork and self-defence all covered across the weekly timetable.

The centre is genuinely all-ages, running dedicated children's classes such as its Terrapins, Tigers and Teen groups alongside general adult sessions, with class prices kept low to keep training accessible. It describes itself as a friendly, welcoming space for all skill levels, from first-timers trying a taster class to more experienced members training regularly, which makes it a practical city-centre option for Jesmond residents who cannot find their chosen style closer to home.
