Neil Capper wanted to share some information about Brighouse Taekwondo with the sports community. Based in Halifax, Calderdale, this martial arts club is dedicated to providing affordable and enjoyable taekwondo training for everyone. With three schools across Calderdale, it's a proud member of the Great Britain Taekwondo Federation and affiliated with the International Taekwondo Council.
Brighouse Taekwondo stands out for its high-quality training. Students have their skills assessed by Mr. Roger Lawrence, a six-time world champion who also heads the England Team. Neil Capper, the head instructor, holds a third-degree black belt and has a rich background in martial arts that began at the YMCA in Halifax and continued during his military service. With 20 years of experience in taekwondo, Neil is also a qualified instructor and recognised umpire and referee by the International Taekwondo Council.
The club places great value on being family-friendly and encourages families to train together. Training and assessment programmes are designed for all ages, creating a unified and inclusive atmosphere. There are discounts available for families training together, making it even more accessible.
Taekwondo, known as "The Art of Hand and Foot Fighting,” is a Korean martial art also taught to the Korean Army. It's gaining popularity in the UK, and at Brighouse Taekwondo, students can develop their skills in disciplines like sparring, patterns, tag team sparring, and board breaking. The club focuses on the ITF style of Taekwondo, which emphasises the use of hands and feet.
