it looks good so i thought i'd give it a shot, i've heard mixed things about it (some don't like watching it, others prefer other martial arts like jiu jitsu)

I checked out a couple tkd dojangs. One seemed very focused on getting leg flexibility, another was very kid-focused, the third had a couple former Olympic athletes. They all practiced a mix of basics, forms, and sparring. It's generally not focused on getting you into an MMA match, but you'll definitely learn to kick and punch.

ok cool, thanks. the one i'm looking at says for the adult class they do basic teaching for stance, punching and kicking so I think that's pretty good for me.
