Why Choose Reading Taekwon-Do?
Abi Lewis
"Since joining Reading Taekwon-Do Classes I’ve got my buzz for martial arts back. When you go to train and it feels like a therapy session and you just switch off for an hour and a half, like that! Love the variety in class and James’ expert knowledge and experience on how to make us the best Taekwon-Do practitioners we can be across all areas."

"If you want to learn the technical, diverse, and powerful martial art of Tae Kwon Do then James Dilley is the instructor for you. He has the perfect balance of attention to detail, understating of the physicality of the body, and an ability to create a rapport with anyone. His genuine care for each student makes James an exceptional instructor. I have enjoyed every class James has taught."

"Grateful to be part of the Reading Taekwon-Do community. A really conducive environment to developing new inner and outer skills. Mr Dilley is a precise and patient instructor/coach. He is very knowledgeable and generous with sharing helpful information."
Andy Lowe
"The best thing about this club is the atmosphere. Everyone is so welcoming and respectful, and it genuinely feels like a community. The instructor-to-student ratio is great, so my son gets loads of one-on-one attention, and it’s made a huge difference to his progress. In just six months as a white belt, he entered his first competition—one of the only white belts there—and won a gold medal for his patterns and was buzzing after winning a round of sparring! His confidence has skyrocketed, and he absolutely loves going every week."

"James has an incredible way of connecting with each student, regardless of age or skill level. His passion for martial arts shines through in his classes—he’s not just an instructor; he’s a mentor and a role model. James has an exceptional talent for blending serious training with an engaging atmosphere that keeps everyone motivated and eager to learn. The community aspect is also heartwarming. Everyone is supportive and cheering for each other's successes, creating a friendly environment that I truly cherish."

"Fun and different warm ups and games which makes training more exciting. Also having a warm up with intention is really nice. Just knowing all exercise has a purpose and that purpose being explained is really nice."
