About Tyne Wrestling Club Newcastle

Olympic Wrestling Newcastle Upon Tyne

Founded in Byker and now based at Walker Activity Dome, Tyne Wrestling Club is Newcastle's dedicated Olympic wrestling club — building on the foundations laid by Rise Above Wrestling. Built by wrestlers who share a passion for training, learning and improving, our aim is to create the leading wrestling programme in Newcastle and the North East.

We were founded to provide a friendly, safe and inclusive environment where wrestlers of all backgrounds and experience levels can develop their skills. From complete beginners stepping onto the mat for the first time to experienced competitors chasing national and international success, our coaching team is dedicated to helping every athlete reach their potential.

Through our structured training program, members are taught the fundamentals of freestyle wrestling, building a skillset of movement, positioning, takedowns, throws, clinch work and escapes suited to their style. Our wrestling classes in Newcastle cater for beginners as well as active competitors, and also offer crossover training to develop the skills required for submission grappling, MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) and other combat sports.
