Managing fights with the new amended taekwondo competition rules

posted by Kim Seng at 11:42 pm in Coaching, Referee, Sparring Competitions

The new WTF reform competition rules are being implemented this year (2006).  In this issue, I will suggest some ways for players to manage their fights within the limits of what the referees and the rules will allow. 

The most significant change will be re-introducing the 4 corner judges system.  To get a valid score point, a player will now have to convince at least 3 of the judges that their technique is legitimate, accurate and powerful enough.  Therefore a player needs to have at least 75% majority decision to get a point whereas it was 67% in the 3 corner judge system.
