What are the rules of Taekwondo?

Taekwondo competition consists of two sides-"middle" (blue) and "red" (red). Both sides score points by kicking each other in the head and body or punching each other in the body. The competition is divided into three rounds, each round is three minutes, and there is a rest time of 1 minute between the two rounds. Players can win by knocking out their opponents and getting the highest score, so that their opponents will be fined up to 3 points or disqualified.

Before the start of the game, after the referee gave the instructions of "cha-ryeot" and "kyeong-rye" respectively, both sides stood at attention and bowed to each other, and then the referee shouted "Shi-jak"! Announce the start of the game.

score

Every reasonable attack will be scored. The following are reasonable attacks:

A. hit the opponent's scoring position. The scoring position includes not only the head, but also the abdomen and both sides of the body, all of which are marked on the opponent's protective gear. It is forbidden to hit your opponent below the abdomen.

B. hit the opponent with the body parts allowed by the rules. You must hit each other with the front of the index finger and middle finger of the correctly clenched fist or under the ankle joint.

If at least two of the three referees recognize and record the hit, the score is valid.

Break the rules

Fouling is an important factor in taekwondo competition, not only because being fined 3 points-extremely rare in high-level competitions-means automatic failure. Only 1 penalty points can determine the outcome of the game. There are two kinds of taekwondo fouls: Kyong-go and gam-jeom. Kyong-go, the most common foul, or warning means a penalty of 0.5 points, but if there is only one such foul, it is not a penalty, unless it is fouled again, the cumulative penalty is 1 point. If a player grabs, hugs, pushes his opponent, dodges to turn his back on his opponent, pretends to be injured, etc. Jing Guo was awarded.

Another more serious foul, called gam-jeom, will be fined 1 point. Typical fouls include throwing the opponent, deliberately putting his feet down when he leaves the ground, deliberately attacking the opponent's back and hitting the opponent's face with his hand.

knock down

After the player was knocked down, the referee began to time like a boxing match 10 second. In taekwondo competition, if one side touches the ground except the sole of the foot due to the strength of the opponent, it is judged to be knocked down. When the player is unwilling or unable to continue the game, the referee can also start timing. Once the knockout occurs, the referee calls "kal-yeo" to mean "pause", instructing the opponent to stand back, and the referee starts to count from 1 to 10 in Korean. Even if the knocked-down player stands up and wants to continue the game, he must wait for the referee to count down to 8 or "yeo-dul", and then the referee decides whether the player can continue the game. If it can't continue the game, the other side wins by knockout.

winner

In other competitions except the final, if it ends in a draw, the team with the highest score wins. If the two sides are still tied, the referee will decide which side is superior in three three-minute matches according to the initiative shown by both sides in the game. If it is a gold medal final, the two sides will play the fourth round, that is, the sudden death round, and the first scorer will win. If no one scores, the referee will decide the final winner by judging who is dominant in this round. heavyweight

In the World Taekwondo Championship, men and women are divided into eight traditional levels. When it first appeared as a formal event in the Sydney Olympic Games in 2000, men and women were divided into four levels: men and women's equipment below 58kg, below 49kg, below 68kg, below 57kg, below 80kg and below 67kg.

Competition area

The competition venue is a square venue with an area of 12 square meters, which is built on a platform about 1 m above the ground and covered with elastic mats. For safety reasons, the sides of the platforms on both sides of the field are slightly inclined to the ground. The center of the field is a blue square area of 8 square meters, and the outside is a red warning area to remind players that they are approaching the sideline or platform edge. Once the player's feet enter the warning zone, the referee will automatically suspend the game. Deliberately entering the warning zone can be judged as Jingge, and deliberately crossing the sideline will be judged as Ganquan.

protective gowns

Taekwondo is an all-round physical contact sport, which requires participants to wear protective clothing and protective gear in the head, body, forearm, tibia, groin and other parts. Before the competition, all the contestants should be inspected to ensure that they are wearing the specified protective equipment.

Other rules

A. If there is more than one foul at the same time, the referee will take the heavier one as the standard. B. If both sides are knocked down and cannot recover after counting to 10, the one with the highest score before knocking down wins.

C. If a player commits a foul immediately after scoring, it can be judged that his score is invalid, such as intentionally falling (a tactic to avoid being hit).

D. Players who fall to the ground after being hit in the head are not allowed to participate in the competition for 30 years.

Competition form

Taekwondo competition in Sydney Olympic Games will be held in a single knockout round until the final champion and runner-up finals. The bronze medal is decided in a more complicated way. All the players who lost to the two finalists will have another chance to participate in the second round and decide the bronze medal. The two losers in the semi-final went straight to the second stage. All the other players who lost to the two finalists had a single elimination match in the original group, and the two winners got the remaining two semi-final seats. The winner of each group crossed the semi-finals with the loser of the other group, and the two winners competed for the bronze medal.
