My son (7) and I both started Kenpo Karate back in December, and we absolutely love it. His class, because of the young ages, concentrates more on sparring and kicking and punching, but mine concentrates more on actual down-and-dirty self-defense, along with the traditional forms and techniques.

Although I was in decent shape before I started, it's taken a while to get my legs in shape for the kicking. I've never done it before, and my tendons and muscles in the hips are still touchy. So I've been doing alot of stretching and leg lift kinda things to, and it's been helping.

How long are your Tae Kwon Do classes? Do they have you doing alot of just plain working out, like pushups and sit-ups?
