Neil Capper would like to extend a personal welcome to the sports community. Neil is the Senior Lead Instructor of North Halifax Tae Kwon Do, and he's excited to share what the school has to offer.
Located in Halifax, Calderdale, North Halifax Tae Kwon Do is all about providing affordable and enjoyable martial arts training for everyone, no matter their age or ability. With three different locations around Calderdale, it’s easy for students to find a class that suits them.
North Halifax Tae Kwon Do is a proud member of the Great Britain Taekwondo Federation (GBTF) and is affiliated with the International Taekwondo Council. This ensures that the training is always top-quality.
Students here also get the chance to have their skills assessed by Mr Roger Lawrence, six-times world champion, England Team Captain, and Coach. Quite the opportunity!
Neil himself is a 3rd Dan Black Belt with years of experience. He began his martial arts journey at the YMCA in Halifax and kept at it throughout his time in the Military. He’s been training in Taekwondo for nearly 20 years now and is also a recognised umpire and referee by the International Taekwondo Council.
The school is very family-friendly and encourages families to train together. The training and assessments are the same for everyone, regardless of age, which means families get to train as a unit. They also offer discounts for families who train together, making it even more appealing.
The main martial art taught here is Taekwondo, a renowned Korean martial art. They focus on the I.T.F. style, which uses both hands and feet and sticks closely to the original martial art techniques.
North Halifax Tae Kwon Do offers classes throughout the week at different locations in Halifax. Evening classes are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at Forest Cottage and Warley Road Primary Academy, and there's a Saturday class at Lightcliffe Academy. More details are available on the school’s website.
No matter if you’re a beginner or have some experience, North Halifax Tae Kwon Do welcomes everyone. With Neil’s guidance, a great community vibe, and a focus on family involvement, it’s a great place to work on your fitness, learn self-defence, or sharpen your martial arts skills.
