Okay, I am over weight, I am 15, and I want to lose weight. I don’t know what to do. My family eats bad and its hard to stay healthy when there not and I have to watch them. I want to start excersizing, but I am too embarrased to go to like 24 hour fitness and running around the block. Is there any at home tips? Zone pilates, videos, etc. It’s not like I have to loose like 5 or 10 I want to loose I think about 40.

I dont know what i’v done :’(?

there’s this new girl at my taekwondo club and i think she really hates me! i gave her an xmas card and she just scowled at me, then she gives me and my family really horrible looks, and she swears at me under her breath, and when we were sparing she grabbed my leg and tried to push me over( which you can’t do) i’m really confusesed because the only thing i’ve said to her is “hi” and even then she glared at me! what sould i do? i’ve told my sensei, but their tellings off have had no effect.

Old TKD Certifications??? Wanting to teach family.?

I want to teach Tae Kwon Do to my daughter and possibly some other kids in my family.. I haven’t had any of my old certifications in well over a decade (maybe a decade and a half, don’t want to date myself… lol.) and shortly (within months) after I left the school I practiced and taught juniors in, our main instructors retired from teaching, the school closed. I don’t trust the remaining local schools with my own child’s instruction as the instruction that I recieved was incredible and not remotely focused on profits. It was incredible enough that I still retain everything but my flexibility. lol..
Like I said, I don’t have any of my old certifications and doubt they would still be available. I was active in TKD for over 8 years, as well as a year and a half of Isshin-Ryu during that time, and took Tai Chi instruction. I feel more than confident that I could still provide quality instruction to my daughter and others in our family, but it doesn’t appear that I have a way of certifying our achievements so that she could use it to go further if she chose to. Does anybody have any suggestions?

In BJJ, why so many different families ?

We hear about Gracie Barra, Alliance, First team, etc. Why so many different teams ? Wouldn’t it have been better if all BJJ schools were in the same family and not every school compete each other ? (eg in taekwondo there is WTF almost only this now).
