About Us | Royce Gracie Jiu Jitsu school in Redhill

WE KNOW HOW DIFFICULT AND CONFUSING
FINDING A MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOL CAN BE.

We remember when we were children, feeling uncertainty about beginning martial arts. We wondered if we had what it took to succeed and we weren't the most athletic or confident children - quite the opposite. Little did we know that beginning our martial arts journey would be one of the most profound experiences of our lives!

When we opened our school in 2001, we made a commitment to serving and empowering the community of Redhill by teaching children and adults the confidence, leadership, and fitness skills that can only be achieved through martial arts.

We Share & teach The Same Values You Teach At Home.

Our programs have a strong focus on personal development. The foundations of our morals, values and core character traits are formed in our early years. For this reason, the programs at Ellis Academy of Self Defence are an essential way to enhance the growth and personal development of young students of all ages.

FUN, EXCITEMENT & PREPARATION: STUDENTS & PARENTS LOVE MARTIAL ARTS TOURNAMENTS!

One of the most fun parts of martial arts training is the ability to test your skills by competing in a tournament. Tournaments are not only fun for competitors, but they also become a great social experience for parents as well!

From sparring to forms to team demos, these awesome competitions are not only a place where our students can test their skills, but also a place where team spirit is built, fears are overcome, and character is developed. Most importantly, they are tons of fun!

Ellis Academy is truly an amazing place. People there, the owners, students and everybody else are very nice, polite, understanding and friendly which creates a lovely atmosphere and a nice place to be around to learn about Martial Arts, respect and discipline. I have been a student there before myself and my experience was undoubtedly excellent. All the instructors take every student individually which makes you feel like you are a part of it from day one. Would strongly recommend to anyone who is interested .. great academy.

The Ellis Academy is a great school. friendly atmosphere, i came back to choi after 8 year break and all of the instructors and assistant instructors have been extremely helpful in getting my training back on track. Cannot wait for my daughter to be old enough to start training there. I would recommend the school to anyone for its family orientated atmosphere but also for the knowledge and experience the schools instructors and assistant instructor provide.

Jacob B.

Redhill

Great and awesome bunch of people to train with. I've learnt so much in the last year and a half and my confidence and fitness level has never been better at the age of 40! Every class is exciting with something new to learn every time and improving on a skill that could avoid a bad situation or even save your life. One of my best decisions joining this club, thanks everyone.

Justin B.

The Royce Gracie academy in Redhill is one of the cleanest (visual and smell) martial arts schools I’ve been to. The Gracie curriculum they teach is well presented and professional . Chris is a great coach. I would recommend all beginners who want to learn self defence/Gracie jiu jitsu to take a trial class.

Chris P.

Redhill

My daughter *loves* going to Tiny Tigers. Mrs.E, in particular, is great with kids and I have high hopes that Tiny Tigers will help my daughter learn to sit still, focus, listen and follow instructions, not to mention getting some exercise and reaping the benefits of learning martial arts.
