Greeting All. I am new to TaeKwonDo and this forum. I am looking for a place to have discussions around TKD for us older participants. I am 40 and started TKD four months ago. I am the only yellow belt in my DoJang over the age of 12, kind of strange. I love TKD and am looking to share information as to what other people in my situation are facing and how they deal with it. For example, flexibility; mine has increased but I can't kick higher than the chest at this point......

When did you start TKD Only one choice allowed (3 total votes)
I started TKD at or around age 40		1 (33%)
I started TKD at or below age 30		2 (67%)

There are quite a few decepit-over-40 TKD folk there. _________________________ "In case you ever wondered what it's like to be knocked out, it's like waking up from a nightmare only to discover it wasn't a dream." -Forrest Griffin

YrewolG2 Stranger Registered: 01/31/08 Posts: 1	Good Day All, been studying TKD for about 10 years and soon with god’s helps my wife and Girls would take the joy of learning any part of the art. Which I feel would round out any young person keeping them grounded and humble with ones self. Until the next post see you on the other side of the mountain. _________________________ Wooden Dummy Does Hit Back!!!!!
