I think that I'm starting Tae Kwon Do right after school starts. I have hardly any upper body strength, but I've got incredibly strong legs. I actually have the strongest legs in my grade because I've played club soccer since I was 4 (I'm 15 by the way).
What I was wondering is does TKD require a lot of upper body strength? Should I try to buff up before starting TKD? Or do I develop all the strength I need while taking the class. I mean, I probably can't break a board or anything with my hands right now. I have tiny arms and I'm actually scared that I'll break one of them. I have small arms, and small chest muscles. You can actually see some ribs...I have pretty strong abs though. Should I be worried about my upper body strength now?
Help please!
Thanks!
