Anyone here a fan of taekwondo? I started later in life, at 33, but I love it. I'm not a good sports fan, but appreciate the physical abilities of sports and related skills. I'm nearly 41 now and still enjoy the workout

Talk to @sarabee1995. Do you also feel more confident not that you can defend yourself viciously if need be? :)

@SW-User Thanks Cinn!
@chameleongirl Hey girl! I've been involved with taekwondo since I turned seven years old (22 now), so I've been in it for 15 years. We are a WTF school and I just earned my third dan last month. I also taught taekwondo for four years until May when I stopped. From second dan onward, my school includes the use of martial arts weapons in the training in all the arts (we are not just a taekwondo school) and I've been working with the Bo staff especially. Love it.
And yes, the workout is great. I'm definitely in the best shape of my life right now having just gone through belt testing in June. I wrote a story with some of the highlights of my path here: https://similarworlds.com/7471951-I-Am-a-Black-Belt-In-Taekwondo/904741-I-Walk-the-Path-I-recently-received-one-of-those. And I'd love to hear more about your path.

@sarabee1995 that's awesome!
I started taekwondo after my kids did. All 3 of them did it, but only two practice currently. My son and I are danbo black belt. We have yet to earn our first dan, but working towards that goal now. I was just a mom wanting to lose weight and get in shape...I got all of that and much more :-)

@chameleongirl That's awesome. My grandfather took taekwondo with me in the beginning and we received our first dan together. :)
