2 year stupor….regretted!?
I’m ashamed to admit after being active, I am now a lazy person. I’m a waitress, and also a black belt in taekwondo. However I haven’t been back in 2 years and you sure can tell! I’ve had a very stressful 2 years(marriage, moving 3 times in a 2 month period, and hosts of other “issues”), I have gained about 20 pounds(I had 10 pound of muscle when I was healthy but I think now that’s liquified to fat) Right now I have NO exercise routine. I have a lot of pressure in my spine, so sit ups are difficult for me, and my midsection is the part that is suffering. I’m starting to cut out caffiene and soft drinks. I’m considering going back to class once a week but it isn’t very motivational for me anymore, I would rather do kickboxing but its not offered around here. I’m 21, anemic, and depressed because of my situation. I feel pathetic, as I should, but I never lost weight(or inches) in taekwondo and I was in good shape! I just want to lose inches(not weight necessarily)! Any advice? Thanks!
I do like to walk or jog, I have no motivation by myself usually, but it is winter. I like to lift free weights.
I’m 5’4 and 145, I’m used to weighing around 125-130(depending on what exercise routine I was in), weightlifting I weighed around 125, TKD I weighed 130….and then…AWWW!!!

Guys 15-18:Do you like girls who do martial arts?
I was jw because I am a 15 year old girl who is a 2nd degree blackbelt in taekwondo and I was wondering if guys liked girls that did that!! I mean I am still really girly I just do martial arts because I like it alot and it is so much fun!!: )
What kind of doors does Taekwondo open? like what kinds of jobs, is it good with schools, like colleges?
I really need help on this one please.
help in picking out a good form of martial arts for my 11 y/o son.?
The following schools are available to us in our area.
Shiva Goju-Ryu Karate
Shotokan karate
American fighting arts
Taekwondo (traditional and american)
He is very interested in taking classes, I am interested in the physical fitness, discilpine, self image, self defence.
Can anyone tell me the basic differences in the styles and maybe some advice as to which i might choose?
I forgot Aikido…although i have talked to them and it is mainly an adult school.
thank you for the answers these are the schools I have to choose from, we cannot travel to another school. Can anyone describe these forms, give me some info before i visit them, thank you.
I’m not sure about the american fighting arts but they have Karate type trophies in the display window…so i don’t think they are wrestling…
edit: after talking to the American fighting arts, it is a tkd and mixed martial arts school.
Thank you Sibling, you are the only one who broke things down, like i asked, but you dont seem to think any are worth it. I personally visited the Aikido school and i can tell you it looks like they are the most physically challenging of the group, there warm up was 20 minutes long and included falls and tumbling that i don’t know if i could do for 20 minutes. And i guess another point is that I believe a good martial arts training can help a child with self esteem and discipline, note that my son does not need this as he is a good kid. I think anything that requires hard work and attaining goals helps with self esteem and discipline.
