This post about sparring taekwando to the public who is interested about sparring taekwando.
In taekwando, free sparring is called kyorugi by the World Taekwando Federation(WTF) or matseogi by the International Taekwan-Do Federation(ITF). This is called "free" sparring to distinguish it from Step Sparring in which attacks and blocks are prearranged or Semi-Free Sparring in which sparring pauses after each point is scored.
In the WTF, the majority of the attacks executed during free sparring are kicking techniques, whereas the ITF encourages the use of both hands and feet. WTF sparring generally incorporates more protective gear (such as the chest and head protectors) and so will generally involve heavier contact. ITF sparring may also be full-contact for some tournaments, but often is conducted as light-contact sparring, relying just on the padded and sparring gloves and shoes to provide protection.
WTF scoring beginning with different types of point for some target when you hit the opponent.
- One point for a strong punch to the opponent's torso.
- Two points for a regular kick (a non-spinning kick) to the opponent's torso. (In 2016, this was just one point.)
- Three points for a spinning kick (i.e., a technical kick) to the opponent's torso.
- Three points for a regular to the opponent's head.
- Four points for a spinning kick to the opponent's head.
The sparring area are vary depending on the style of taekwando involved and type of tournament. The sparring area in the contest will be 8 meters by 8 meters square, though some tournaments may use larger Contest Areas (for example, 10 meters by 10 meters or more in ITF-style sparring) or even round sparring areas. Smaller regional tournaments may use 7 meter squares with 1 meter safety zones. The Contest Area is often delineated with a blue line, and then is surrounded by a safety zone.
The outside of the safety zone is often delineated with a red line.

In WTF-style tournaments, there are some referee's commands and hand signals that you should know if you want to participate in the WTF tournament. The referee points to where the Blue opponent should stand and says "chung!" (meaning blue) while "hong" (meaning red). Both opponent should move to his starting spot. The blue opponent's spot is always on the referee's right side while red on the left side. Next, to start the contest, the referee holds both arms out to the side, elbows bent upward and says "chay-ryeot" (attention). But if the referee bends bot elbows inward and says "kyuhng-nyeh" (bow) and also have both opponents shake hands. The referee steps forward with his left foot and at the same time passing his right open hand from beside his ear, chopping downward in between the two opponents and says "joon-be" (ready) and he holds that position for a moment to make sure both opponents are ready. Last but not least, the referee slides the left foot back (as if into a Tiger Stance), while bringing both arms out to the side and then says "shee-jahk" (begin) while rapidly bringing the hands together.
During the contest, if the referee needs to separate the two opponents because of one opponent falls or clinches the other, the referee says "gahll-yeo" (break). When the opponents can resume, the referee will says "gyay-sok" (continue). According to WTF-style sparring as of 2017, half-point warnings were eliminated, so the following no longer applies in many tournaments. If the referee need to issue a penalty warning to the contestant, the referee stops the action by saying "gahll-yeo", stands to face the offending athlete, takes his right hand to his left ear, then sweeps the right hand outward to point ath the offending athlete. If the blue opponents, the referee says "chung kyong-go" (blue warning) and "hong kyong-go" (red warning) to the red opponent. For more serious offense, for example an intentional kick to the groin or punch to the head), the referee will sweeps his right hand from his left shoulder to point at the offending contestant, and calls "gam-jeum" (penalty) holding his pointing hand outward for a moment to make sure the scorekeeper can see the penalty call.
At the each round, the referee stops the fight by saying "geu-man" (end), gesturing that the opponents should move away from each other. The next round begins as before with the "joon-bee" and "sheejak" commands and gestures.

Each coach (blue and red) has a card that can raise when he has an objection to a referee's or judge's rulling. When the coach raises the card to get the refere's attention, the referee will pause the match then take the coach's card and asks what the objection is. The referee then relocates to an isolated area oon the mat and gestures for all the judges to come to him. The referee will consults with the judges to determine if the coach was correct. If the coach was correct, the referee will give back the card and may continue using the card to make an objections. If the coach was incorrect even just once, his card is taken away and he is no longer able to make an objections.
When the match-timer has counted down to zero, the referee stops the fight by saying "geu-man" (end). The opponent will return to their starting positions. The referee will announces the winner by pointing upward towards the winner's side of the ring. The referee will hand down by the opposite waist, then swinging the arm to point upward toward the winner's side of the ring and the same time, the referee states the winners colour (chang or hong), and the says "seung" means victory. The athlets are usually the directed to bow and shake hands again, and also directed to shake hand with the opposing coach.
In WTF-style taekwando sparring, contestant usually wear a padded torso protector called a hogu. The hogu is like a padded vest and is easily reversible. When sparring, each contestant will be either red or blue, so that they can be easily distinguished. The primary reason for the hogu is to allow kicks to the torso above the belt and below the without injury to the person when receiving the kick. Other than that, a padded helmet (head protector) called homyun. Padded shin guards that may include padding over the top of the foot, padded forearm guards that may include padding over the knuckles, a hard-shell groin protector and a mouth guard also a part of equipment.
