Règles
Olympic bouts use electronic body protectors and head sensors. Spinning kicks and kicks to the head score more than simple body kicks, which is why taekwondo fights are full of spectacular techniques.
Comment commencer
Many clubs welcome children and adults. A white dobok (uniform) is all you need at first; later you will add a body protector, shin and forearm guards and a mouth guard for sparring.
