Hey there 🙂 so here’s my very first post on this forum. 🙂
I’m 23, and back in elementary school, I did taekwondo for maybe two years. I used to be pretty sickly as a kid, so I lost a lot of weight and my muscle mass is honestly kind of pathetic right now, but hey, my health is actually fine these days and my doctor is basically telling me I need to pick up some kind of sport. Out of everything in the world, taekwondo is the only thing that actually interests me—I don't even follow football, if you can believe that. 🙂
Now, here’s the part that’s killing me: I feel like I’m way too old to be starting from scratch, and the thought of walking into a gym only to find myself surrounded by literal children from middle school is just... awkward. So, I was wondering if anyone knows of a club (ideally somewhere on the west side of town) where they actually train older beginners? Also, is there anyone else out there looking to start training? I’d really love to not go solo, especially since I’m new to the city and don't really know a soul...
Thanks in advance for any replies, if I'm lucky enough to get any. 🙂
