Should someone be allow to teach TKD if they are overwieght? I am not shy about myself so I will use me, I am 5'9" and right now 257 pounds so I am considered obese in today world. I have done everything over my journey and run a successful program I would say, my student compete at a high level and my adults are in pretty good shape. I am this way because of cookies, potato chips and alot of Dr. pepers, ok all kidding a side I take alot of steriods that seem to be helping put on a ton of wieght over they years. I still workout with two of my classes everyday, I am able to do most techs, but again certain high flying kick are grounded mainly because of wieght and bad knees.
I only bring this up because a another instructor told me I was in his view not living the tenets of TKD with me being over wieght? I guess big heavy people are not allowed to do TKD only in shape individuals. What is everyone take on this subject and please who cannot hurt my feelings about anything you can say because I know how I look and I know what I can and cannot do anymore.
