Well I think the title says it all. My kids have been in Tae Kwon Do for the last three months and have really loved it. I go to every one of their classes and have seen the changes it's made both in class and outside (higher confidence, self discipline, and such) and think that it would be a great way for me to get back into shape, fight stress, and to get over my shyness.
But therein lies the problem, because as I'm sitting here filling out my registration form, I keep thinking about how scared I am to put on a uniform and do this in front of other parents in the school (this particular class is for both kids and parents, which is really convenient ) who are sitting in the studio watching their kids. If it makes any sense, I'm more confident internally than externally, and I am pretty outgoing with people I already know but I feel like such a misfit most of the time now that I'm not working anymore.
So has anyone here entered a martial arts discipline (or something similar) as an adult? Do you have any words of wisdom before I start class this afternoon? (I can't believe I'm so nervous about this!)
Thank you
