Newton Aycliffe Anshin-Ryu Club Details
The Club is based at the Neville Parade Community Centre on Neville Parade, Newton Aycliffe, County Durham.
Training times are:
Tuesdays: 7pm to 8.30pm
Sundays: 11.30am to 1pm
All welcome from 7yrs up.
Anshin-Ryu Karate has its history in both Wado-ryu and Shotokan Karate.
here is an extract from the website of our sister club, Zanshin Kai explain a bit of history.
"Anshin-Ryu was the style of Karate that was founded by Keith Bell in the early 1980's. Keith Bell was a 4th Dan in Wado-Ryu Karate and regularly trained under Kanazawa Sensei. It was this influence of Shotokan Karate that Keith incorporated into his training and adapted to his Wado-Ryu which bore the new style Anshin-Ryu (The way of the Heart & Mind). Anshin-Ryu in its basic form is still very much Wado-Ryu. All the Kata are Wado-Ryu based, but there are advanced Kata taken from other styles. The influence of Shotokan is very evident in the deep stances and power techniques. The symbol for Anshin-Ryu is the white dove of Wado-Ryu below the Shotokan Tiger."
The club practises traditional Karate, but also enjoys sharing the experience of a number of senior members from different styles such as Shotokan, Kickboxing, Ju-jitsu, Muay Thai and Tae Kwon Do. We are a very open club and anyone is welcome to join.
