Taekwondo Federations

World Taekwondo Federation Tae kwon do is a full contact sport where it is allowed to kick to the head (throwing punches to the head are not allowed), . During competition, full body protection is used to protect the competitors. To minimise the chances of head injuries, a fighter allowed to engage in a competition for three months if one was knockedoutt by a blow to the head. If the same incident happens again after three months, they would not beallowed to fight for half a year. Another knockoutto the head after this six month period results in a total exclusion of competitions.

International Taekwondo Federation Tae kwon do is so-called semi-contact. Fighters not allowed to attack the head with full force. All the same, it is allowed to throw punches to the head, using the so-called “killing-blow”, stopping just an inch before the target. To reduce injuries, International Taekwondo Federation use gloves at sparring-competition.
