■ Taekwondo is a Korean martial art and Olympic sport that was developed in post
World War 2 Korea by various martial artists but is usually attributed to military
general and martial artist Choi Hong Hi.

■ Taekwondo is based on the native Korean martial arts of Taekkyeon, Subak and
Gwonbeop but also has significant elements of other martial arts such as
Japanese Karate and to a lesser extent Chinese Kung Fu.

■ It is known as a style that focuses particularly on kicking, and experienced

practitioners can be seen performing various spectacular head height and
jumping kicks.

PLAYERS AND EQUIPMENTS

WHAT TO PREPARE?
PLAYERS OF TAEKWONDO

In Taekwondo competition, fighters

compete against other fighters of
the same sex. They are also placed
into weight categories to ensure that
fights are as evenly matched as
possible. In junior competitions,
there may also be age categories
too.
PLAYERS OF TAEKWONDO

The white taekwondo uniform

that competitors wear is often
called a gi, but technically that
is the Japanese name for a
martial arts uniform and the
proper Korean term is a
dobok.
PLAYERS OF TAEKWONDO

A coloured belt is tied round the

middle of the dobok and the colour
signifies the grade of the
practitioner. The belt system goes
from white for beginners through to
yellow, blue, red and then black for
more experienced practitioners.
PLAYERS OF TAEKWONDO

Black belts then

receive their ‘dan’
grades as they
progress further in
their experience and
expertise.
 In a
Taekwondo
match, each
competitor
wears several
pieces of
protective
equipment and
these are:

SCORING
Scoring in a
Taekwondo match
is simple.
We have two parts:
Koryuggi and
Poomse
Taekwondo Scoring System

1. Punching - 1
2.Normal Kicks on the bidy-2
3.Turning kicks on the body -3
4.Normal Kicks on the head -4
5.Turning kicks in the head -5
> In major competitions, electronic
scoring systems are used that are
placed within each player’s chest
protector and are adjusted to take
into account of the weight category
of the fight.
> For head kicks (and fights where
electronic scoring is not used), a
panel of 4 judges push a button
when they see a scoring point. When
at least 3 judges agree, then a point
is awarded.
 05
WINNING THE MATCH
 Once a Taekwondo match is over (at the end
of the 1:30 per rounds, the first and the
second round), the winner is the fighter that
has the most points.

 If both fighters have the same amount of

points, then an extra round is fought called
(Bikkim) the golden point round.

 In this round, the first fighter to score a point

is declared the winner. Taekwondo matches
can be won earlier if one fighter knocks the
other out or if one fighter is disqualified for
a rule breach.
