Taekwondo

 

Taekwondo is a form of karate which allows competitors - "Chung" (blue) and "Hong" (red) - to deliver rapid upper body kicks and punches, except to the face and throat. Contests are subject to direct elimination, with a double repechage giving the two contestants beaten by the finalists a chance to take 3rd place.The method of scoring allows one point to be awarded for each legitimate blow to designated parts of the body (head, abdomen, side of the body). More
