Taekwondo technical analysis and etiquette

Taekwondo technology

Due to the development of Taekwondo in recent years, it mainly focuses on Olympic training, so outsiders have an extremely serious misunderstanding: "90% of Taekwondo technology relies on leg skills, only 10% of hand movements, and it has no power." This impression of outsiders is by no means unrecognizable, because Taekwondo has become a competitive sport under the promotion of the World Taekwondo League. The technology and score calculation of the competition are based on the safety and observability of the contestants, making Taekwondo technology gradually become more sporty than life. Some Taekwondo coaches also believe that the new style of Taekwondo technology is more practical than traditional technology, but this view does not seem to be accepted by laymen, and it is not difficult to find that some of the information on the Internet believe that the Taekwondo technology promoted under the International Taekwondo Alliance feels much more practical than the new style of Taekwondo. Now Taekwondo does not have practical fighting purposes. In comparison of competition technology, WTF's Taekwondo focuses on scoring techniques, including kicks on the face that can quickly score, back hook kicks that can knock down opponents, etc. The speed is so fast that people admire it, but it is almost useless when competing with other martial arts. Moreover, because the WTF "strictly controls hand skills", it is difficult to score on hand attacks (according to statistics, the Taekwondo event in the 2008 Olympics had no point in hand attacks), which has led to almost no tendency to protect hand attacks. The competition principle of ITF focuses more on the technical communication of players, so it limits the strength of players and cannot knock down the opponent by relying solely on strength. However, under the ITF system in Eastern Europe, a Pro-ITF competition that can attack with all its strength was launched, allowing players with both biased preferences to choose to compete within the competition range that suits them. As for technology, the attack requires players to clearly hit the target and attach appropriate power to produce a certain effect. At the same time, the jump attack will have a higher score, so the competition technology will tend to be light jump attack and a heavy blow to be effective. As shown in the pictures in the Taekwondo encyclopedia written by the founder Cui Hongxi, there are two most special techniques in Taekwondo: 1) Jump. Cui himself is only about five feet tall and it is difficult to attack against tall opponents. There are a lot of jumping movements in the book, both hands and legs, and attack and defense techniques; 2) Multi-directional combos. The encyclopedia demonstrates a variety of continuous attacks, including three air combos, etc.; there are also defensive actions to deal with opponents in both directions at the same time, making Taekwondo's technique unique.

Taekwondo etiquette

Although Taekwondo practice is carried out in the form of fighting between the two parties, no matter how intense it is, since both parties aim to improve their skills and temper their will, they must hold the mentality of respecting and learning from each other deep in their hearts. Therefore, they must salute each other before and after the practice or competition, that is, the martial spirit of "starting with etiquette and ending with etiquette" advocated by Taekwondo. Since Taekwondo is a comprehensive cultivation of the practitioner's spirit and body, the practitioner can cultivate an ideal personality and body through hard training, and can truly master the ability to defend and defend themselves. Therefore, the spiritual exercise of practitioners must include etiquette education and cultivation of etiquette. Etiquette is an indispensable and very important part of Taekwondo.

Etiquette before and after the practice

When the practitioner enters the venue, he first salutes the dojo and then salutes the coach.

The two parties should salute each other before practice, and salute each other again after practice [14].

Etiquette before the start of the competition

The athlete stands upright and performs a standard salute to the jury in accordance with the referee’s “stand attentive” and “salute” command. The standard salute is a natural bowing posture, leaning the waist forward 15°, tilting the head down, and clenching his fists to both sides of his legs.

Athletes follow the referee's command to "turn left to right" and turn inward, stand attentively, and then salute each other according to the command to "salute".

Etiquette after the game

At the end of the game, the athletes stand in their respective positions.

Athletes salute each other according to the referee's command to "stand attentively" and "salute".

The athlete turns to the supervisor according to the referee's command to "turn left to right" and "salute" and performs a standard tribute to the supervisor.

By bowing to elders, coaches, teachers, and teammates by bowing and bowing, Taekwondo practitioners can develop a heartfelt habit of ceremoniality, so as to develop a respectful, humble, friendly and tolerant attitude and a style of learning from each other, and cultivate their perseverance and qualities of perseverance.
