Olympic Style Sparring Overview:
Olympic Style Sparring is a Continuous Sparring match where competitors score points by kicks to the body (on the chest protector) and the head (also protected). Punches to the body are scored if they administered with powerful and accurate (they move the body). No punches are allowed to the face. All color belts and Black Belts 13 and under may kick to the head with light contact which is determined by the center referee. All Black Belt competitors 14 and up may have full contact to the head. Both competitors are required to wear protective gear as follows: head, mouth, chest, forearm, groin, shin, and instep with equipment being checked by the center referee. Most competitions are 2 rounds with 3 rounds for Black Belt finals. Time ranges between 90 seconds to 3 minutes per round at the discretion of the tournament director. Olympic Style Sparring differs from Point Sparring in that there is no break when points are scored. Points are scored electronically by corner referees that record points within 1 second time lapse. Matches are suspended for injuries and injured participant has 1 minute to recover in order to resume the match. If at any time a competitor is unable to continue, the win will go to the uninjured competitor if the injury did not result is gamjeon (warning).
This is a dynamic, full contact kicking event.
Color belt Sparring divisions will be separated according to age, rank, and weight. If you do not have a match, you will be provided with an “Exhibition” fight upon request. Competitors will be awarded 1st, 2nd, & 3rd. Divisions will not be subdivided when more that 3 competitors are present.
