I wanted to update my review, it has been nearly two years since I wrote my review, myself and my two sons have progressed so much that I am now preparing for my black belt and my oldest son is a 2nd Dan and my youngest will be going for his this coming autumn. We have enjoyed attending many competitions throughout the UK, supported by fellow students and James, who as a 4x world champion has the knowledge to help develop the skills and help improve our techniques. I would recommend JRMA to all who who are looking for a new way to get fit both mentally and physically and to meet new people who will become long lasting friends. What are you waiting for!! This club is fantastic ! Both of my sons attend the club (both now black belts) and have learned so much and achieved great things both in physical accomplishments in competitions, and mental discipline through their journey. In fact I was so impressed that I too joined and have gained so much from my time there. Highly recommended Less
The team are brilliant and my son loves it. Great fitness training plus discipline. Would highly recommend.

This is an outstanding class. Our daughter’s confidence and coordination have come on leaps and bounds. Can’t recommend highly enough
My daughter attends and really looks forward to going each week, it has definitely help boost her confidence.
James and his team are honestly first class. Our older son has been going for a couple of years and his confidence and focus has massively improved - in every part of his life. His younger brother started Ninja Kidz less than a year ago and loves it too! The team are so professional and disciplined, but manage to keep the classes fun and engaging for all ages.

My daughter Aria has been attending James Reed Martial Arts at Rutherglen for nearly two years and it’s the only club she has stayed at for so long. MarieAnne and Mr Miller are her instructors who are friendly and supportive to the parents and children being fair and knowledgeable making the sessions about learning while adding fun aspects e.g warm up games. They don’t only teach taekwondo but the importance of self control and discipline which is key to learn at her early school age. The graduations are well planned and the students are made to feel at ease with all instructors. Aria had her first grading at 5 years old, she was very nervous with the crowd of parents watching and didn’t want to do the routine. MarieAnne knew she practised it during previous classes so she then showed Mr Reed on her own which helped massively and meant she passed her grading. This sincerity shown from the instructors that day really stood out to me. Aria has grown in confidence and progressed so much through the years attending James Reed Martial Arts so I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. Less

One of the best decisions l have ever made in life was taking my daughter to join James Reed Taekwando. She has been going since she was 6 and it's a huge part of her life. She is now 12 and she is a black belt and also part of the Junior Leader Team.

She is now 12 and she is a black belt and also part of the Junior Leader Team. It's not only taught her a new skill that she will carry with her through life, it's also been so beneficial for things like confidence and respect for others. l can honestly say you will not meet a better bunch of instructors - James, Mel, MarieAnne and Grant are all fantastic and invest so much time in the kids and their progress. l would recommend if your looking to learn a new skill or you want your child to, then look no further than James Reed Taekwando Less

When he first started he had real problems concentrating or following instruction and now he is about to do his second grading which I never thought would be possible when he first started. The care and professionalism given to each child and the group as a whole is phenomenal. My boy is learning lots of new skills and discipline. All coaches are amazing with the kids and with such young classes this can be difficult. Nothing is too much hassle, very accommodating if you need to change a class etc and great communication with parents. Highly recommend this school thank you to you all Less

Our daughter has now been training with James Reed for six years and has enjoyed every minute of her time there. The thing that has always stood out to us about the club is, how well planned the lessons are. The lessons are varied but most of all they are fun and the level of expertise is outstanding. The club has made a real positive impact on our daughter, developing both her confidence and social skills immensely. She has been given opportunities to compete in national championships with the highlight for her being, participation in the World Championships for the first time this year. I cannot recommend this club highly enough to anyone looking to participate in a martial art. Mr Reed and his coaching team are absolutely fantastic instructors but more importantly, they are all great people. Less

I joined up as an adult a few months after as a total beginner, with no martial arts experience whatsoever, and I’ve found the whole experience really positive. The classes and instruction are great and cover lots of different skills; there’s a group of other parents in the same position so I’m not the only parent/beginner at the class. The more advanced members help out and it’s a really great and inclusive environment. Less

One of the best Tae Kwon Do martial arts trainers out there, my girls love going there. They also offer sparring for yellow belts or over.
Amazing definitely should give it a go!
I've been at the club since I was 5. I love this class because I get to learn valuable skills in a fun and supporting environment and make friends.

My son loves the dodge ball and assault course, the class changes every week so they don't get bored. I have seen my son's balance, strength, confidence and fitness levels improve. The classes are excellent value for money and Mr Reed and Mel genuinely care about the students. Despite lockdown they have continued to do twice weekly zoom classes throughout. I tried another tkd class before commencing this one and I found it very very busy and wasn't sure how useful my son found it, I then tried Mr Reed and was very impressed by the structure, guidance and class sizes. I would highly recommend this class. Less

Through training in Taekwondo we have increased our fitness, flexibility and learned valuable self defence skills.

A really welcoming club and excellent instructor, the standard is high, teaching professional and the people friendly.
