I wouldn't be starting it at this point either. You would have to be a protege in Taek Won Do too to get athletic scholarships and that takes serious and dedicated training which is very time consuming. If you already had Taek Won Do experience that would be different. In competitions you will be up with people who already have done Taek Won Do since they were 5 and are working towards being in the Olympics. Those will qualify for the scholarships first, not the beginners.

It is not worth it if it will interfere with you studies. No extracurricular activity is.

I'm in my 3rd year in college. I need to earn a scholarship but I'm not that academically smart. I mean, I study very, very hard but I can't seem to reach the required grade for the academic scholarship. My family's business isn't stable. And there are six of us still studying in college.

I have Physics (4 units), Thesis (4 units), Software Engineering (3 units) and some other minor subjects this semester. Good thing I have long breaks in between.

Anyway, I'm very interested in joining our university's Taekwondo club as a beginner. I know that I'm physically fit enough to join. Buuut, I won't be getting an athletic scholarship until I'm able to fight in inter-school championships. So, that would be next semester. They said I need the proper training first for the whole semester.

Other kinds of scholarships have some requirements I couldn't meet.

Sooo, any advice about this? Am I doing the right thing? Or should I just stick to studying?
