The wearing of Taekwondo protective gear is stipulated, which can effectively ensure that Taekwondo athletes can avoid injury in the competition, so athletes must wear protective gear in actual combat or competition. Taekwondo has a lot of protective gear, which can be said to be well protected from head to toe. If you don't know much about Taekwondo protective gear, let's see how to wear it.

Key points: the protective gear for taekwondo athletes is divided into 1 ~ 5. The smaller the number, the smaller the protective gear. 1 is suitable for children, No.2 is suitable for teenagers or adult girls, No.3 is suitable for men with 50, 54 and 58 kilograms, and women with 5 1, 55 and 60 kilograms. No.4 is suitable for athletes with 83 kilograms or the highest weight.

The special pad for taekwondo competition has elasticity, and its elasticity, thickness, width and material must be recognized by the World Taekwondo Federation or the relevant departments of the host country. Protective gear includes helmet, armor, crotch protective gear, forearm protective gear and tibia protective gear. The crotch protector, forearm protector and calf protector are worn in the uniform. Female athletes must wear crotch protectors for women and put them in uniforms.

Helmet: don't cover your eyes when wearing a helmet, and let the elastic rubber band at the chin be fixed, not too tight or too loose. If you think the helmet is too tight, you can change it to a bigger one or loosen a little string on the top of the helmet. Hand guard: Armguard is a protective device that can protect the elbow to the wrist, which is simply to protect the arm. In Taekwondo, the arm is also a common contact part, because when an opponent hits with his feet,

Usually, you will also use effective defensive actions such as "upshift" and "outer gear" to protect yourself, so your arm is more vulnerable to injury. Wear it near the outside of the arm (forearm) and cover the elbow. The barbed tape goes around the inside of the arm and sticks to the hand sponge (tightly tied).
