    I do taekwondo with my son. We’re on a little hiatus because I’ve had knee surgery, and it still hurts when I kick. I can’t speak for how much it helped with weight loss for myself as I did other exercise as well. But a girl in our class says she cut out sugar and started taekwondo three times a week and after 6 months she had lost 30lbs by those cuts alone.

    Took tkd not for weight reason.. (was actually underweight when I started)

    You can do tkd 7days a week if you want.. but it's up how much you eat what counts in regards to weight wise..

    Oh.. I eat more during the years doing tkd.. became close friends with other students.. what we do after classes(night).. we go to korean restaurant and chow down.. lol

    Took Martial Arts from 1974 through 2004. Had my own TKD School in the 80's. Never had a weight problem until 1987, when I closed up shop and moved. We are retiring this year and moving. Told my wife that I think I will take it up again after we move. Pick some style I have never practiced and start from scratch. Looking forward to putting on that White Belt.
