# Ellis Academy of Self Defence - Redhill

Ellis Academy of Self Defence is a martial arts training facility based in Redhill that specialises in confidence-building martial arts classes for children aged 3-16 and adults aged 17+. The academy operates multiple programmes tailored to different age groups and skill levels, including traditional martial arts and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

The business serves families seeking structured physical activity combined with character development, and adults looking to build fitness, discipline, and self-defence capabilities. Their programmes are designed around personal development rather than competition alone, with an emphasis on teaching transferable life skills.

What sets Ellis Academy apart is their holistic approach to martial arts training. Rather than focusing purely on technique, they prioritise building confidence, discipline, focus, and respect in their students. This philosophy applies across all age ranges, from their Tiny Tigers programme for 3-6 year-olds—which establishes foundational character qualities—through to adult martial arts designed to integrate seamlessly into busy lifestyles. The academy positions martial arts as a vehicle for personal transformation, helping parents raise confident leaders whilst enabling adults to reach their full potential. Their free trial offer removes barriers to entry, allowing prospective students to experience their teaching methodology firsthand before committing to membership.
