Tae Kwon Do

[Xena]

I was wondering if there are any other martial artists here. My whole family goes. Were changing to a new school this September and thats gonna be difficult at first but the new school offers more weapons training and its just a better program with out all the drama we got at the old school.

Just curious if theres anyone else here in martial arts.

My oldest children are in tai kwon do too. Two are black belts and one is a red belt. They like it most of the time and it distinguishes them from others. They are in good health and more disciplined, most of the time, than other children their ago from what I've seen.

I'm a red belt in Tae Kwon Do. I like it for the most part mostly because of the discipline involved. It's also very useful aside from sport.

I'm about to start... just as soon as I get the money. I feel silly starting at 25 'cause I think most people start at 5... That's only 20 years late, though! LOL

I study Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan. (And, by default, Qi Gong.)

....

Duchess: it is not 20 years late. You shouldn't ever feel its too late to learn something new. And, honestly, you'll have more discipline for it now that you are older than 5 .

Not at all too late! I know quite a few who started in their late 20's. 40 is a common age as well. 50 not so common, but it's not rare...

My husband and I do TKD. We are purple belts and progressing slowly but we enjoy it and are in no hurry. BTW we started in our 30's. It's never too late. My Dojong has many in their 40's to 60's starting as well as 4 yr olds.

I have been taking TKD for 4.5 years, and will soon test for my black belt. I love what it has done for my self-esteem, what I have been able to accomplish thru the discipline.

My school is has a great family atmosphere, too. GO TKD!

I have always wanted to do this...but only for the reason to be able to defend myself

I practice Cuong Nhu, which is a vietnamese art and I'm a green belt.

2nd degree black belt here. In 2 different organizations of TKD. I recently quit Edward and Brenda Sell TKD. Memorization of forms got boring. Loved it, though, and good luck.
