Taekwondo is good for self-cultivation and shaping, and ligaments are not a problem. Height minus 1 10 is the standard weight.
If you want to learn well and fight in a year, I tell you, it is impossible if you don't practice professionally every day. I am proof of actual combat. I can fight without words. If someone really tells you that it is quick and practical, it is a lie. If there were, martial arts experts would have run around.
For Taekwondo, although many people say that Taekwondo is ostentatious, many people have never practiced Taekwondo, and they have heard about how Taekwondo died on a whim. That's what I thought at first, but I've also met taekwondo masters. Over time, it is also effective. Nowadays, many people demand quick success, but this quality is often the worst.
In addition, the black belt in Taekwondo grading examination is not so difficult now, and the actual combat effect is unknown. In fact, if any martial arts can be played, it needs to be tested in actual combat, not a belt. Any martial arts needs a lot of time to hone, and it can't be completed overnight. If you really practice, you will understand.
It's a gimmick to say self-defense or exemption. In a few years, no obvious effect can be seen in any martial arts. There is really something to do.
So don't expect self-defense to be enough to exercise and improve your psychological and physical quality.
Finally, I want to say, no matter what you study, don't try to be brave. Run if you can. Besides, nip in the bud is the most important thing.
The purpose of learning martial arts is to make you have a good physique, have confidence in yourself and be able to handle things calmly, so that you can better get out of danger instead of causing danger.
Although I practice Sanda, I have a little contact with Muay Thai, Jeet Kune Do, Taekwondo, Karate, Aikido, Judo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and I still know something about fur.
You can ask them if you have any other questions.
