Founded in 2017 by Master Rodney Reid and the Reid Family, RedDawg Taekwondo is built on a mission to uplift, empower, and connect our community through the art of Taekwondo. Located in the heart of the Niagara Region, we provide a welcoming space where students of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds can discover their strength—physically and mentally—through martial arts.

​

At RedDawg, we offer expert instruction in Olympic-style sparring, Poomsae (forms), self-defense, and board breaking techniques, all in accordance with World Taekwondo guidelines. Our classes are designed to challenge both body and mind, building confidence, discipline, and a sense of accomplishment in every student. We actively take part in tournaments across Niagara and the Greater Toronto Area, encouraging our students to grow through healthy competition and shared experience.

 

But our goals extend far beyond the mat. We believe that martial arts should be accessible to everyone, regardless of income or ability. That’s why we’re committed to offering flexible, supportive options to ensure no one is left behind. Our programs are built to serve the whole community, helping each student reach their highest potential while feeling truly seen, valued, and respected.

 

In 2023, we proudly launched the RedDawg Taekwondo Championship, bringing a new level of opportunity to local athletes by offering a high-quality, homegrown competition right here in the Niagara Region. This initiative reflects our deeper commitment: to create not just strong martial artists, but a stronger, more connected community.

 

At the heart of RedDawg Taekwondo is Master Rodney Reid, a 4th Dan Kukkiwon Certified Black Belt, NCCP Certified Coach, and Certified Provincial Referee. With over 20 years of Taekwondo experience, 10+ years of mixed martial arts training, and a strong military background, Master Reid brings passion, professionalism, and purpose to every class he leads. His dedication to safety and excellence is matched only by his belief that everyone deserves the chance to succeed—on the mat and in life.

 

Whether you're taking your first class or working toward your black belt, RedDawg Taekwondo is here to guide you, challenge you, and support you every step of the way.
