The classes they run
“Our three children are widely spread out in age and interests, so we had no idea when they started studying taekwondo at J.”
“My favorite thing about Taekwondo at JR Miller are the Judo days where get to do a lot of Judo throws and break falls.”
“They have worked one on one with my son to help him reach his goals at his own pace.”
“Students here learn effective self-defense, respect, discipline, focus, how to work well with others, and the rewards of hard work, all while having a little fun, too.”

From the reviews
My son joined J.R. Miller Martial Arts in 2012, and about six months later, I did, too! We couldn't be happier with our experience here and with our instructors, Master Miller and Master Alan. They are not only great teachers, but nice people.
My son joined JR Miller Martial Arts when he was 6. He was a very high energy kid that needed some constructive way to handle his energy. Having him join taekwondo was the best thing we did for Jacob. He has learned to control his body, use his energy positively, and helped him to slow down and concentrate.
My son joined JR Miller Martial Arts when he was 6. He has endless energy and we were hoping Taekwondo could help provide him with some focus and discipline. It is evident today, at age 12, that Taekwondo has molded him into the student, athlete and person he is today.
Our experience with J.R.Miller Martial Arts has been excellent. My son Trevor has been attending for the last 4 years. Master Miller and Master Alan have been great with my son, teaching him respect, self confidence and focusing. He has learned a great deal from taking Taekwondo from forms, judo,and so much more.
Your first judo class at J. R. Miller Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a judo dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good sensei expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, learning to fall safely (ukemi), then drilling a throw or two and some groundwork with a partner — not hard randori. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a judogi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner judogi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own judogi. Live randori eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
