This study analyzed 4,962 tactical moves performed by elite taekwondo athletes across various championships between 2001-2007. The most common move was the bandal chagui kick, which made up 76.71% of moves. Counterattacks comprised 51.98% of moves, with most being direct (82.53%) and simultaneous (64.81%). The conclusions suggest taekwondo training should focus more on effective moves beyond basic kicks, as well as direct attacks, simultaneous counterattacks, and combat in the central area to improve performance.
