TKD Quick Tips

It depends on the tournament rules,

IF leg sweeps are allowed this is the perfect one. tkd in sports tournaments in general have a tendancy to kick a lot.

So they are perfect targets for a dragons tail sweep or low spinning leg sweep following by any technique after as a strike to score a point.

IF you cannot leg sweep then CATCH their foot in mid air or PUNCH it hard. you can then trip them off balance by grabbing it and tossing them to the side to score a perfect punch to the back of their head, or punch their kick with a good solid punch and this will hurt their foot so much they will limp on it and you will have the match easily.

Number of rules to remember. Always try to get the first point. Once you have it, dont be a hero and go after more, you are in the lead now, so circle the ring and make him come to you under your terms. he will desperately be trying to chase you to catch up the score. Use many defensice techniques and of course as soon as you see a great opening go for it and score another if you can.

Remember you do not have to win by getting all the points, you just have to have the most at the end. so circling once you are ahead and keeping the crowd, ligths and audience in your opponents eyes over your eyes is good too.

Also make sure that the judges may had a hard time to see if your punch really landed or not and if you ACT the part well enough and look so assure you scored it many times they will give it to you by the roars of the crowd and your attitude and they dont wanna be the one who said they missed it, i know it sounds odd but it is true.

So thats a few tips. remember if he is taller than you then he has a smaller target to hit than you do also!
