Taekwondo Sparring

 

Even though there exist as many different sparring methodologies as there are different martial arts, any sparring system's developmental level can be analyzed according to two criteria; the range of allowable techniques and the level of permissible contact.

Another important, albeit auxiliary method of classifying sparring methodology is the type and extent of protective equipment used.

The original difficulty in finding a compromise between safety and perfection in sparring was, to some extent, resolved by the degree of limitations imposed on the system:

1.  The number and type of techniques permitted in sparring.

2.  The limitation placed on the degree of contact.

3.  Limits restricting legal target areas.

 A part from these characteristics, the type and extent of protective gear is another important characteristic of sparring methodology.
