Hi, my name is Tom and I train in Tae Kwon Do. I originally began in 1977 under Robert Biggs in St. Louis, Missouri. After about 2.5 years, a girlfriend and college, I put it on the back shelf. Twenty-five years later I began from scratch at it again. I have been training for about 2 years now and currently a 3rd GUP (red belt) in a WTF school. Being 42 now, I have never felt in better shape and have such a desire to learn in my life... I will say, and I am sure this does not apply to all schools, that training has changed significantly since the 1970's. TKD tends to be much more safe-sport orientated. I remember a lot of blood and guts fighting in the 1970's. I did have a wonderful instructor back then that trained and fought with the best at that time. If I only had the attitude and fortitude then that I have now.....Who knows. Again, Hello!
