Tyne Valley Martial Arts

We are now part of HALO JIU JITSU. For more information, please read the notice on the homepage.

TVMA with our sister club Sakura BJJ offer a wide range of martial arts classes for adults in Bellingham, Hexham and Wallsend, Newcastle.

Tyne Valley Martial arts are a modern martial arts group practising KickBoxing, Boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

TVMA, as we abbreviate it, is set up as a Community Sports Group. We are a not for profit organisation dedicated to community interest and the progression of the sports we practice.

EQUIPMENT & CLOTHING

Important – Poor quality equipment is dangerous for both your child and others.
We INSIST on using specific children’s equipment in order to guarantee the safety of everyone at the club. Whilst we know there are other options it is beyond our scope to police this so we consider it better to use our trusted suppliers.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING EQUIPMENT WE HAVE NOT RECOMMENDED WITHOUT PRIOR CONSENT OF AN INSTRUCTOR

We intend to provide an amount of equipment for new starters in the near future but for both hygiene and safety we recommend parents purchase from our partners below.
