WTF Competition Rules & Interpretation has been updated
Juan Moreno: “It is important to find the integrity of the game”
International - Juan Moreno, USA Team Coach, spoke exclusively with MasTKD after the WTF Taekwondo Championships recently held in Chelyabinsk, Russia. He told us outspokenly his opinion about the “anti-taekwondo” techniques which he describes as “scoring opportunities” and also told us about his team´s next goals.
Do we really want to get back to the primitive Taekwondo?
International - Primitivism versus Evolution. Many people think that we are moving away from a beautiful martial art competition, but nothing is further from reality. MasTKD ESPAÑOL
No more sensors on the sole of the foot!
International - The improvement of the electronic protectors meant a breakthrough in the development of Taekwondo; however some tricks used by some athletes have turned Taekwondo in a less spectacular discipline. The actions with the sole of the foot (except the turning kicks) seem to be the culprit. MasTKD makes a thorough analysis and we want to know your opinion. MasTKD ESPAÑOL
The “Monkey Kick”, anti Taekwondo
Russia - It was seen in previous competitions, however during the World Taekwondo Championships in Chelyabinsk, it was used too often. That is why the WTF took drastic measures against the indiscriminate use of unusual techniques to score more easily such as the "Monkey Kick", which do nothing but overshadow the Taekwondo.
