My needs are: Stretching exercises for flexibility and freedom of movement exercises for strengthening my muscles exercises for endurance ( I have an exercise bike, does that work?) At school it's 3rd quarter and I don't really have much time. I can maybe put one hour max each day. I don't need to have all of them in a session though. Maybe I can do stretching exercises the first day, then strength exercises next. I also wanna get thinner, because I'm fat and I admit that I don't want to be this way the rest of my life.

Ah, I just got back from my first Karate lesson and I didn't have to ask to make sensei tell me what Ten Shin Kan is. It's Karate, grapples/takedowns/throws, and weapons (First is stick(long one) to something I forgot the name of). So that's a cool style for me.... and thanks KF

So I went to a karate academy today and it seems like my schedule can only handle Ten shin kan. Never heard of it though. What is it?

TKD in real life situations?
kaster replied to kaster's topic in TKD, TSD, Hapkido, and Korean Martial Arts
That's cool then. In fact, I don't care about winning in tournaments. I just want to have good self-defense techniques and also attacks, so that I can protect myself. I'll be going back to my homeland (Philippines) in a year and many things happen there. I also don't wanna get bullied anymore. I'm just a peace loving 14 yr old, that is weak right now, but I hope to become stronger. EDIT: About tournaments, it's not entirely true. I think I just care more about mastering TKD and applying it than winning a tournament -
I've only seen TKD in Youtube videos, and from what I saw, TKD doesn't use much defense. I've only seen it in tournaments though(Youtube not real life). But, I've read some comments say that TKD as a sport doesn't show the real TKD. Anyway, it seems that other I can learn Okinawan, TKD, or Muay Thai. When I think that TKD mostly uses kicks and doesn't have much for defense, I think that I won't have much use for it, especially in places that are too small and can't perform a spinning kick in. So, is it like in the TKD sport? or is there more to TKD when used as self-defense?
