taekwondo cardio kickboxing

i just took my first class of this tonight. it was so much fun!! basically its a cardio based taekwondo class - but not your typical martial arts class where you would bow to your instructor, and call him 'sir', etc.

it was pretty cool - men & women - my dad even came to check it out and he joined too!! who knew my 60 yr old father would be interested in taekwondo?

anyway - i just wanted to say that this is going to be my new 'activity' for 2006 and i hope i succeed in both getting and staying in shape.

wish me luck!!

Yep - same questions from me as well!!!

i am taking this class @ a taekwondo school in ozone park. i did not pay for the class - my father did (its going to be our bonding thing) but i believe its somewhere around $100 a month and its 4x's a week for an hr. the instructor recommends you go @ least 2-3x's a week - but i want to try to do all 4.

i would check with your local taekwondo place and see if they offer an adults cardio taekwondo. the instructor was explaining that 'kickboxing' is really just an american term - so even if it doesnt say kickboxing the class will be similiar.

the class was a combo of cardio & taekwondo - we would do crunches then get up and do kicks, do some push ups then do a different set of kicks, etc.....it was pretty cool.

I already go to a place here in LI - 65 bucks a month unlimited - LOVE it!!!
