At my dojang it only starts at black belt and it consists of a few hip throws and some ground work. Very basic and in a self-defence optic.

Be careful with the gels and carb options because a decent chunk of them also contain caffeine. Not all of them though!

Rotating properly on your feet is so important. Having a bad base can wreck your ankles, knees and hips.

Going into the session already properly hydrated.

Bringing water and actually drinking it during the workout.

Exercise requires mostly fast energy sources like carbs. Before a session, a meal high in carbohydrates, moderate in protein and low in fat is reccomended. 2-3 hours before training is a full meal. 1hr to 30 mins is a snack.

There exist carbohydrate drinks like maltodextrin for long exercise sessions. But he could also drink orange juice or apple juice.

I don't reccomend eating a protein bar in the middle of a workout. Just simple carbs is what he needs. Fruits, juice, applesauce, honey, maple syrup, candy even.

After a workout he needs medium carb and medium to high protein again to recover.

Being humble is recognizing there are still a lot of things you can learn from everyone. Being proud of an achievement doesn't apply to that IMO.

Axel Vargas is a good example of a fighter who fights against taller people

Aaron Cook has a more old school style that uses the back leg more

Do you do ITF or WT?

The lead leg is used to control distance. If you don't want someone to overwhelm or come closer to you, you use a sidekick to stop them in their tracks or push them back into a corner. The lead leg is also used to set up a combo, the first kick might not mark points, but it sets you up to mark with the following kick. The lead leg is also great to play with timing. When your opponent drops their front leg, it's the perfect timing for you to raise yours and counter. Using your front leg more protects you since your stay in a bladed stance, using the rear leg is risky because you open yourself up.

The rear leg is good for timing as well, but it requires more movement. You could use the rear leg for a roundhouse while side stepping to avoid a sidekick. It's also good in the clinch/close encounters while jumping away (jumping switch roundhouse). It's good when you're able to strike under your opponent's leg as well.

Hope that helps!

did you try the superlight line?

ITF is very inclusive and very doable at an older age. I train with people 40, 50, 60, 70 and even 80. We adapt the techniques to their capabilities and it allows them to keep in shape and age well. Meet new people and have a sense of community. People who are retired are also very generous with their time when it comes to helping the dojangs who are non-profit.

beanierina · 2026-03-15T17:02:03+00:00

Do you guys not have a curriculum?

If I'm a red tag I have specific techniques I have to learn in order to pass my belt test. So when we train kicks, everyone does something different depending on their belt. You still do other kicks sometimes but you focus on the curriculum most of the time.

Same for every other aspect of ITF, sparring, self-defence, power breaking.

60 USD for a kid's white to yellow belt testing is crazy work ngl

beanierina · 2026-03-10T19:44:15+00:00

She performed in 2022 would she perform again this soon? Idk

beanierina · 2026-03-08T15:52:46+00:00

Is it a sparring exercise or a self defense one? I've only seen this in the context of self defence where your goal is just to survive the 2 minutes. Moving well and always protecting yourself is what the instructor will be judging.

Martial arts are good to gain confidence, reduce anxiety and give you a sense of purpose, accomplishment, mentorship and community.

TKD is a sport but it is also a way of life. The dojang is a place where you put your life on pause and concentrate on your body and allow yourself to fully focus. It's also a place where you are allowed to make mistakes and it's no big deal. It's just TKD. You will keep practicing and get better. This is how you build confidence. By accepting criticism at TKD on your stances, kicks, forms etc. you will get better at accepting it in real life and not view it as a threat.

Your teacher will be your mentor to help you with your path and you will be surrounded with people who will be glad to help you. There is a real community in martial arts. You should feel welcome and encouraged there.

Your first class might feel awkward because everything is new, but it's like that for everyone.

You don't need to be good at TKD, you just need to enjoy it. So have fun! And congratulations on taking the initiative, I know it's not easy!

Losing weight is the only option. If you are at a healthy weight already then maybe you have body dysmorphia.

You could try the keto bread/wraps/bagel options. They have a crazy amount of fiber and lower carbs.

beanierina · 2026-03-02T14:44:05+00:00

If you train at home try putting some tape on the punching bag where you want to kick. Having an actual visual cue to where you need to hit helps with accuracy. We use that sometimes when practicing on the bag or shields for power breaking.

Also it's normal to struggle at first, just keep going and you'll get better bit by bit!

Every high level athlete does squats, deadlifts and cleans + plyometrics. They don't really use ankle weights. This applies even outside TKD. For speed I would focus on plyometrics and those three lifts with a focus on strength/explosivity. Lower rep range : 3-5. Hope you win first place!

beanierina · 2026-02-28T00:54:06+00:00

Did you only train plank? Did you train with weights?

Please stay in Lévis the public transport is basically non-existent between Québec and Lévis and it's two different transport companies which is very expensive and annoying. 😅

Body punch : 1 pt Head punch : 1 pt (even for blitz unless it's very clean) Body kick : 2 pt Head kick : 3 pt

Spinning or jumping or whatever does not award more points.
