Our coach

Our society is led by Head Coach Ian Reynolds, a lifetime martial artist who has been training since 8 years old! Ian holds black belts in four separate disciplines: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Karate. He has also competed at national and international level across several combat disciplines.

For the past four years, Ian has served as the Head Coach for the University of Leeds BJJ society, bringing his knowledge and technical expertise to our members. In addition to this, he also coaches the 7am morning class every weekday at our affiliated club, Gamefight. Fun fact, Ian is also the payroll manager at University of Leeds!
