Is taekwondo aerobic or cardio?

Question

Im wondering if taekwondo is aerboic if you keep kicking and hitting.

Answer 1

Its very Simple it is both frist Aerobic you are Jumping moving in the warmup . Cardio is the length of the class you work each part of the body keeping you heart rate up . Plus if you are in the upper levels of the Martial art free sparring is a great work out

Answer 2

Aerobic is a subset of cardio. Depending on how long you train, it can stress aerobic and anaerobic energy pathways differently.

For example, rounds on a heavy bag tend to work the anaerobic pathways. If you do it long enough, you get an aerobic benefit but primarily it is anaerobic.

Answer 3

I thought they were the same thing...

Answer 4

I'd say Taekwondo is both and a very good workout.
