Generally speaking, taekwondo tends to be a very inclusive martial art: various schools tailor the art for younger students, older students, disabled students, etc. Essentially all of the major taekwondo associations are affiliated with special needs training in one way or another. On the other hand, some martial arts schools tend to be more exclusive, focusing their training only on those who are very physically fit. Taekwondo is sometimes criticized for its inclusivity (the so-called, "Could you win a bar fight?" argument) but generally those involved in taekwondo view its inclusivity as a strength.
