Hi, I'm Master Chrissy Foulds, Chief Instructor of the Leeds East AEGIS Academy
What started as a beneficial hobby has given me a mission to share martial arts with more people
I started martial arts as I was looking for a new hobby to take up. I lived in the city centre at the time so had to walk home in the evenings from work often so I wanted to learn some self defence skills.
The more I got involved with AEGIS Martial Arts, the more I enjoyed it and saw the benefits it could provide not just to me but to anyone. Once I reached my Black Belt I decided I wanted to teach so I can share the benefits of AEGIS Martial Arts with more people.
Since becoming an Instructor and running the Leeds East Academy, my favourite thing is watching my students confidence and skills grow. People come to us for lots of different reasons and it is very rewarding to see them learn & grow as they make their way through their martial arts journey.

A fun & engaging approach to fitness & self defence
It is difficult to find and maintain a fitness routine, to find something that keeps you motivated, engaged and feel like you are progressing. Our martial arts classes are perfect if you find the gym boring. They also help build important habits and skills so you can reach your goals & potential in all areas of your life.
