punished by this article.
- When the opponent rushes in abruptly at the moment a kick is being executed
- Inadvertently, or as the result of a discrepancy in distance in attacking.

contestant’s position. These types of aggressive actions toward a fallen opponent are
not in accordance with the spirit of taekwondo and as such are not appropriate to
