If I may say so, Tae Kwon Do is a very poor martial art. Sure, it's a great base for others, but if you plan on winning any kind of fight with it, you've got a better chance of bending over and just let your opponent kick your ass. The kicking style of Tae Kwon Do becomes infeffective once you're up close and personal with someone. Add to that the fact that it's not even TAUGHT right anymore (no more punch techniques) makes it even worse.
I'd reccommend Kung Fu, Aikido, Judo, or Ju Jitsu.
I think Judo would be most effective for you though.
I can break three 3/4" boards with a palm and heel, bitches
