TYPES OF

TAEKWONDO
COMPETETIONS
Taekwondo is a martial art and
combat sport. There are mainly two
types of sport competition in
taekwondo, kyorugi and poomsae.
KYORUGI
Kyorugi competition is the type of
sport competition that is included in
the Olympic Games but there are also
world, national , regional
championships.
Kyorugi competitions are usually individual
matches that are separated by female and male
weight divisions. The competitors wear protective
equipment and matches last for three rounds of two
minutes each with a one minute break between
rounds. If there is a tie at the end of the match then
another round is included where the winner is the
player who scores first.
The goal is to finish the match with more
points than your opponent or to knock out
your opponent. To end with more points you
need to score on your opponent and stop your
opponent from scoring.

In taekwondo competition, you must hit your


opponent with a minimum power threshold on
the body to score points. On the head the
requirement for points centre more around
accuracy rather than power. Depending on the
location and the difficulty of the technique you
can gain 1 to 5 points.
It is a free-form fight between two people
subject to strict rules to avoid injuries and to
ensure a fair competition. The contestants
wear a body armor (trunk and head protector)
fitted with electronic sensors that register
kicks and punches if applied with sufficient
force.
In a taekwondo match, it is allowed to use feet
and hands (fist) to score points.
The hand is used as a straight punching
technique with the knuckle part of tightly
clenched fist. Foot techniques are using any
part of the foot below the ankle bone.
The attacks by fist and foot techniques on the
areas covered by the trunk protector are
