How a match works, in a minute

How a para taekwondo contest works

  1. Para taekwondo is sparring for athletes with an arm impairment, in classes K41 and K44 and five weight categories for each gender.
  2. Points come from kicks to the electronic trunk protector: two for a valid kick, four for a turning or spinning kick. Kicking the head is not allowed.
  3. Each foul, a gam-jeom, gives the opponent one point.
  4. The scores of the rounds add up, and the higher total wins. A tie goes to a one-minute golden round: the first to two points wins.

How long

Three rounds of two minutes, with a minute's rest.
