Answer:
The basic rules - foot and fist
The rules of taekwondo as outlined by World Taekwondo require a standing bow to the referee, followed by a bow to the opponent, before matches.
All matches last over three rounds of two minutes each, with a one-minute break between rounds.
Taekwondo aptly means ‘the way of the foot and fist’, to correspond with the blows and kicks that score points.
The objective of each competitor is to score points by landing blows and kicks on their opponent’s torso or head or to win by knockout.
Blows must be delivered through a straight punching technique using the knuckle part of a tightly clenched fist.
The kicks that count are those delivered using any part of the foot below the ankle bone.
The valid points are:
- One point for a valid punch to the trunk protector
- Two Points for a valid kick to the trunk protector
- Four points for a valid turning kick to the trunk protector
- Three points for a valid kick to the head
- Five points for a valid turning kick to the head
- One point awarded for every penalty (known as gam-jeom) given against the opponent
