3. New Changes in the Competition Rules Lie Ahead By ETU Wednesday, May 09, 2007
At the upcoming Taekwondo World Championships in Beijing (May 18th to 22nd) the world's Taekwondo leaders will gather again. WTF will hold its General Assembly on May 17th and again the Competition Rules for Kyorugi will be changed.
We have taken a look on the proposals and here are the most important topics that will have an influence on competition training and tactics - provided that all changes are accepted by the General Assembly:
Hand and foot protector will become mandatory
New definition of legal attack zones
3 points for successful attacks to the face
7 point gap and 12 point ceiling will be deleted
New definitions of Kyonggos (reduced number)
4th round with sudden death with prolongation (if no decision is made in the 4th round, then the fight will go on in more rounds until one competitor scores)
After a KO to the head the competitor can still fight again within 30 days if a doctor gives a written permission
