Honest review: Taekwondo is brilliant but adjusting to the point-scoring system is real

Taekwondo has been one of the best decisions I've made for my fitness and mental health. The dollyo-chagi roundhouse and the deeper reaction time training keep training mentally engaging in a way the gym never did.

But I want to be honest: adjusting to the point-scoring system. Nobody told me about that before I started and it caught me off guard. Invest in proper groin guard early — again, something I wished I'd done sooner. the unique acrobatic kick repertoire came later than I expected but when it arrived it was worth the wait. Four stars rather than five because of that one persistent issue.
