The World Taekwondo Federation on Tuesday approved new Taekwondo regulations and competition rules that were revised in November. The decision came at its Council meeting in Ankara, Turkey.
The revised WTF rules aim to make the spectacle more exciting by encouraging players to attack more aggressively. Under the new rules, one point is awarded for attacking the opponent's body, two points for a spin kick, and three points for a hit to the head.
The competition area will shrink from 10 m by 10 m to 8 by 8. In the past, a player had a point deducted when given a warning, but from now on, the opponent will win an extra point instead.
If a referee has made a clear error in factual judgment, the decision could be reversed. The WTF decided to introduce instant video replay, beginning with the WTF World Cup Taekwondo Team Championships in July next year.
