However, some accessories, such as helmets and mouth guards, are recommended to ensure the protection of risk regions of fighter bodies. It is a form of struggle that prioritizes the execution of kicks on the use of the fists. The International Taekwondo Federation is the global entity responsible for organizing and overseeing major events and maintaining rules.
