Families That Kick Together Stick Together

In a world increasingly bound to screens and devices, many of us as parents struggle to find common ground with our kids. We all know that spending quality time together as a family can be a challenge. That’s just one of the reasons martial arts Family Classes at AEGIS Leeds East offer something truly special - an opportunity for parents and children to bond, grow and achieve together, while learning a dynamic martial art that offers many practical and spiritual benefits.
Our Family Classes are designed for martial arts beginners and advanced learners alike, catering to both children and parents with differing levels of ability. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or you’re looking to rekindle or refine your skills, our classes create an inclusive and supportive environment where families thrive together.
Why Families Love Our Martial Arts Classes
Children are drawn to the fast-paced, energetic and engaging nature of our martial arts classes. Every session is an adventure, packed with challenges and opportunities to improve. Parents, on the other hand, love seeing their kids grow - not just in their physical abilities but also in confidence, self-control and resilience.
As we always tell our newcomers, taking up martial arts isn’t just about learning self-defense; it’s about developing life skills that last far beyond our academy. At AEGIS Leeds East, our program focuses on five key skill areas:
1. Heart Skills
Martial arts helps children and adults alike build emotional control, develop unshakeable confidence and learn how to manage fear in challenging situations. These skills aren’t just useful in a training setting - they’re incredibly valuable for life.
2. Mind Skills
Our classes sharpen problem-solving abilities, quick thinking and decision-making. These skills are key in all martial arts but frequently translate to better academic performance and improved decision-making in our daily lives.
3. Body Skills
Strength, fitness and coordination are at the core of our martial arts training. Parents often tell us they notice their children becoming more active, agile and healthier, while they themselves enjoy the physical benefits that training offers in abundance.
4. Spirit Skills
Martial arts foster an awareness and thoughtfulness of others. Students at our Family classes learn the value of teamwork, respect and compassion, strengthening their bonds and creating a sense of community both in and outside of our academy.
5. Balance Skills
The AEGIS system doesn’t just teach physical balance - it helps students find balance in mind, body and spirit. Countless studies have found that such skills tend to create well-rounded individuals prepared to handle life’s challenges with poise and resilience.
The Benefits of Training Together as a Family
Training as a family brings its own unique rewards. It’s a chance to spend meaningful time together while working toward shared goals. Parents often become role models in perseverance and dedication, while children feel supported and inspired.
Students of all ages in our Family classes frequently tell us how much they value the shared experience. Watching your child master a new technique or break through a personal challenge is an unforgettable moment - akin to taking their first steps or learning to ride a bike - and achieving goals side by side fosters an immense sense of pride and togetherness.
