ADVICE: Don't count yourself out before you try it! I have never seen myself as the "athletic type". I didn't think it would be much different with Taekwondo. However, after going to a couple of classes, I discovered this was something I could do...something I liked. It is a way I can get a good workout without having to go to the gym, of which I am not a fan!!
