Ultimate Training Weekends

NEXT TRAINING WEEKEND - 5th, 6th & 7th June 2026 - SOLD OUT!

Our Ultimate Training Weekend is one of the most enjoyable events of the year. We train for 6 hours across 2 days with some great Instructors. It is the ultimate test of endurance and our students always leave feeling inspired, exhilarated and exhausted all at the same time!

This event is open to both children and adults but you must be graded to at least 9th Kyu Orange Belt to take part in the training.

Training places are allocated on a first come first served basis. Book your place quickly because the last event sold out in just a few days.

If you complete the training over the whole weekend then you will receive a medal as a reward.

Training takes place on both Saturday and Sunday. We played some team games last time and Team Stockton Heath came out well on top! We plan to do some more team games in 2026 to break up the karate for the kids.

There is plenty of free time in the afternoon for students to spend with their family and karate friends. The park has undergone a massive refurbishment.

Haven completed a £3million refurbishment to their heated indoor pool in 2017 and this proved a massive hit with all of the families who attended the UTW last time. This fabulous facility now features three flume slides, a multi-lane slide, bubble pool, Lazy River and wave pool. There are also have play areas for children and a lane pool for those wanting to just swim.

In your free time you could enjoy a trip out on the boating lake, climb between the trees at the outdoor high ropes course or roller blade in Sportsdrome.

You can hire bikes and pedalos, there’s just so much to keep the whole family entertained.

There is also an amusement arcade, bars, restaurants and daytime & evening entertainment.
