HISTORY
Presentation Outline
Taekwondo is a martial art independently developed over 20

centuries ago in Korea. Over the many years it has become a
popular international sport. The main feature of Taekwondo is that it
is a free-fighting combat sport using the bare hands and feet to
repel the opponent. Taekwondo literally means the way of kicking
and punching. It consists of sharp strong angular movements with
free flowing circular movements to produce a balance of beauty
and power. With the addition of Taekwondo's trademark kicking
techniques it is a complete system of self defense and personal
improvement. All of its activities are based on the defensive attitude
that originally developed for protection against enemy attacks.
Keep In Mind:
The most important fact about Taekwondo is that it is not

only a superior art of self-defense, but of the mind as well.
It gives its practitioners self-confidence that provides an
advantage over weaker opponents. This mental
characteristic along with the physical ability is beneficial
to the mental life of individuals as well as to their families
and friends. With its practical means of self defense, its
complete regiment of physical conditioning, and its aid to
improved concentration and mental performance,
Taekwondo offers a total fitness program integrating
mind, body, and spirit.

Objectives
In Taekwondo competition, the object is to land kicks and

punches upon the scoring zones of your opponent. These are
the the torso and the head and both kicks and punches must be
accurate and powerful, as light tapping kicks are not counted by
scorers (or electronic scoring systems in major competitions).
At the end of the three rounds of the match, the player with the
most points is declared the winner, but the match can end early
by one player knocking the other player out.
All Taekwondo practitioners, whether competitors or not are at
all times expected to uphold the five tenets of Taekwondo. These
are courtesy, integrity, perseverance, self-control and
indomitable spirit.

EQUIPMENT
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. 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, green, blue, red and then black
for more experienced practitioners. 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:
Head guard
Chest (trunk) protector Hand protectors
Groin guard Shin guards
Forearm guard Mouth guard
Pointing system
Scoring in a Taekwondo match is simple. A player gets:
one point two points

basic attack to the opponent’s torso spinning kick to the opponent’s torso
In major competitions, electronic scoring systems are used that are

placed within each player’s chest protector and are adjusted to take
three points into account of the weight category of the fight. For head kicks (and
kick to the head 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.
WINNING
THE GAME
Once a Taekwondo match is over (at the end of the 3 x
2 minute rounds), 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 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.
