My biggest problem at the age of 48 is controlling my weight and being able to stretch as required for some of the kicks. I could really use some help there.
Nice site, by the way.

Thanks for chiming in! Best wishes to both you and your son on promotion tests.
It's great that you both are active in Taekwondo with your respective "non-traditional" situations (size and age). But, as you know by now, a wide range of people can achieve quite a bit. Good for you both!
My advice to you as another 48 year old is to just be patient, but also be consistent. Even one drop of water a day can eventually wear down the biggest stone. You have to train as/for who you are. Just try not get discouraged, and just keep at it, one day/one session at a time.
Let us know how things continue to go!
