Hi everyone -

    I'm currently a black belt in Taekwondo and working for my second degree. Testing will be at the end of 2012. It was a great catalyst in my initial weight loss. Now it's helping with toning, endurance and flexibility.

    Hey there! Another Martial Arts lover here!
    I am a blue belt with red stripe in Taekwondo...testing for red belt in September :smile:
    It's my favorite sport and I am normally there 4x a week. I also have a 18 yr old who is a black belt and has started instructing in the last year..so so proud of him!
    TKD has been the thing to get me in shape & get me motivated to work out otherwise as I want to be fit & strong.
    Feel free to add me..:flowerforyou:

    Glad to have you in the group! I love TKD. It's beautiful to watch when people do it well. I'm also a fan of kicking - lots of kicking, especially head height and up. It makes me feel powerful :)

    I just started TKD a few weeks ago, and my 7 year old son started at the end of May. The classes kick my butt but it's a great workout!

    I agree..and I wish I could get better at the head height and up--flexibility has been a LONG road for me!

    I would love to join! I am a blue belt in Chinese Kenpo and just recently started back up again in American Kenpo and just got my orange belt. I LOVE IT!! I want my black belt so bad, just as much as I need 70 more pounds to get off.

    Having a workout that you love is the way to go! If you enjoy it, then it isn't work.
