For Your Information...

World Taekwondo Federation Tae kwon do is a full contact sport where you are allowed to kick to the head (punching to the head is not allowed though), it is not very dangerous to practice Tae kwon do. In a Taekwondo bout, full body protection is used to protect the competitors. To reduce any chance of a head injury, a fighter would not be allowed to engage in a competition three months if he or she was knockedunconciousst by a blow to the head. If the same incident happens again after these three months, you’re not allowed to take part for half a year. Another knockoutto the head after this half year period results in a final exclusion of competitions.

ITF Tae kwon do is only semi-contact. Practitioners not allowed to attack the head with full force. Although, it is allowed to throw punches to the head, using the so-called “killing-blow”, stop just an inch before the target. To reduce injuries, ITF use gloves at sparring-competition.
