PULSE Taekwondo Club is celebrating their first anniversary since it was founded by John Lockwood 12 months ago at Almondbury Sports Centre.

And during that short space of time, his members have rewarded his efforts by returning from both domestic and international competition with a haul of medals and trophies.

“Our success is unmatched by any other WTF Taekwondo club in Huddersfield in just one year, and we have medals from competitions in Holland, as well as British National and International events,” said Lockwood, who is a BTCB 4th Dan black belt.

Sponsored by PJ Colours, a company who have bought the club some mats which can be used both in training or competition, Pulse also hold sessions at St John’s Church, in Lepton (Tuesday) and Brockholes Village Hall (Thursday), although Almondbury is the main venue on Mondays and Wednesdays.

Classes are open to anyone aged five years upwards, and anyone interested in learning Taekwondo, either to just get fit or to compete, can get in touch with Lockwood on 07946 021666.
