Our coach

We are proud to have our society led by Head Coach Ian Reynolds, a lifetime martial artist with a wealth of experience. Ian holds black belts in four separate disciplines: Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Taekwondo, Jiu-Jitsu, and Karate.

Having begun his training at the age of 8, Ian has dedicated his life to the pursuit of martial arts excellence. His extensive career includes competing at both national and international levels across multiple disciplines, even in specialised weapons forms such as Nunchuks.

For the past four years, Ian has served as the Head Coach for the University of Leeds BJJ society, bringing his vast knowledge and technical expertise to our members. In addition to his role with the university, Ian coaches the 7am morning class every weekday at our affiliated club, Gamefight.
