Taekwondo

Anybody else doing taekwondo or other martial arts? I've been doing it for several years now; testing for black belt next week. Just did sparring class this morning and it is 60 minutes of the most intense cardio I've ever done -- easily 800-1000 calories, and a lot more fun than plodding along on a treadmill. Finished class today drenched in sweat, and I'll probably be sporting a couple of nice bruises tomorrow. I love it!

  • Hi, Congratulation in advance of passing your grading and getting your 1st Dan (IL Dan). I have been doing TKD for yonks! . All going well I should be grading in October. TKD as I am sure you are more the very aware, is one of the most intense styles out there, and is physically demanding. I am about 14 years past the official cut off age for what is expected at gradings and tournaments, but I still push to meet the normal training routine.
