Everyone knows that learning a martial art is a great way to boost your confidence, stay fit, and learn how to self-discipline. But many people also take up a martial art to help keep themselves safe knowing they have a good self-defence technique.
In reality, it is rare that most martial arts practitioners would ever need to use their skills in the real world but knowing you can protect yourself, should you need to is a great comfort to some people.
This can especially be true in children and teens who struggle with confidence, women who feel anxious when out on their own or anyone who generally lacks confidence.

Martial arts are good for kids. This isn’t about exposing them to violence, in what often seems like an increasingly violent world. No, what martial arts training can do is offer children a way to develop self-discipline and self-confidence, while providing them with an excellent source of exercise.
But how should you get children started with martial arts, especially at a time when Covid-19 restrictions are affecting social interaction and leisure activities?
At Ellis Academy of Self Defence, we offer virtual martial arts training for kids, along with our other martial arts programmes.
