yup second that.
Am a type1 Diabetic and also have a Heart Murmer. Adn a dogy lower back !
So I do it to keep fit.
NOT ALL TKD is the same, had several joka's come from other clubs and they dont have the same skills as some of our guys
ME I'm just white belt.
LOTs of running involved. IF the club you join does not do a proper 30 min run (to warm up) your wasting your time.
Main things (as for selfdefence) is
1> Observation, if you are aware of situations you can avoid them
2> Avoidance, TKD is a last restort, avoid confrontation
3> Runaway

4> If backed into a corner then fight. (also try not to as you end up with a GBH charge)
but as for fitness great
