Martial Arts is a great way for juniors to build strength, confidence, discipline, and to make new friends. With so many options to choose from, picking the most suitable can be a tough and stressful process.
One thing to point out first is, no matter which martial art you choose for your child — or they choose for themselves — they will reap the many physical and psychological benefits of studying that discipline.
Luckily, you have found this page. In this Ellis Academy of Self Defence blog, we have picked out the best martial arts for juniors, breaking down their benefits and which will be most suitable.
Family Self Defence
Posted: January 27, 2022
The new year is a perfect time to dedicate yourself and the family to learning a new skill. And what better time to start enjoying it with the whole family. If you’re thinking of taking your family to a self defence class, we can assure you, you won’t look back.
Teaching children the gentle art of self defence can lead to huge benefits. If you’re ever worried about them being bullied, which is only natural. Bullying is an unfortunate fact of life, and it’s sad to say that one-fifth of young people have experienced it.
The effects of bullying on young people can be damaging for life. And no one wants that for their children. Fortunately for you, we can help the situation hopefully never arise to you or your family.
New Year Fitness With Self Defence Classes
Posted: January 12, 2022
Hello and a Happy New Year from the team at Ellis Academy!
Did you manage to make any resolutions this January? For most people, the start of the year is a great time to set new goals and plan for the year ahead. More often than not, people usually include fitness goals in their new year resolutions as keeping fit is a priority for lots of people.
Although new year resolutions have a bit of a bad reputation as being short-lived (how many people roll their eyes when someone mentions going to the gym in the new year, only to be proven right when new gym-goers only last a couple of months?) but many people do make and stick to very sensible fitness goals for the year. This could be for weight loss, general fitness, or psychological well-being.

We don’t want to sound too clichéd but we’re sure 2021 has been the same for many businesses – twists and turns, lots of uncertainty. We continued with our virtual classes in the earlier part of the year but decided to discontinue these just a month ago.
