WELCOME

Welcome to the official A.I.M.A.A Scotland website. A.I.M.A.A Scotland is headed by Master John Kirkwood 6th Degree, who teaches daily at various schools within Scotland. All instruction in all A.I.M.A.A Scotland schools are undertaken by certified Instructors, who are fully vetted by Disclosure Scotland. At Master Kirkwood's schools of Cho's Tae Kwon Do you will be taught the traditional aspects of Tae kwon Do, A.I.M.A.A Curriculum, Self defence, Competition sparring  and One-Step by Master Kirkwood personally.

Master John Kirkwood has been involved within Tae-Kwon-Do for over 37 years and has taught for over 31 years within Lanarkshire. He personally teaches students at the A.I.M.A.A Scotland Headquarters school which is located within Blantyre Sports Centre.  He also teaches alongside his son John Kirkwood at his "Lesmahagow school of Cho's TKD" and at his new school located in the "Alistair McCoist Complex" in East Kilbride.

Master Kirkwood offers specialised courses in self defence, point and continuous sparring, as well as body conditioning and plyometrics. He also runs additional squad training, fight club and Black Belt training classes for students within Scotland. Over the last decade he has went on to produce many black belts, some having went onto to becoming Instructors in their own right. Many of the students that train within Master Kirkwood's school have obtained World, European and National Titles, through his competition training regime.

As the appointed director of A.I.M.A.A Scotland he endeavours to ensure that Grandmaster Cho's teachings and philosophies are engraved into the minds of the Instructors and students in Scotland. To read more on Master Kirkwood Click Here
