Abstract

The competition of taekwon-do (ITF) is a tetrathlon and consists of: patterns, sparing, power breaking and special techniques. The last one is very spectacular, unique for taekwon-do and consists of five tests [1,2]. The flaying rising kick (timyo nopi ap chagi) is the simplest and the bestmeasurable test; the role of referees is limited to observing and scoring. The Twimyo Nopi Ap Chagi jump test using the “non-scissors” technique consists of 4 phases: run-up, takeoff, flight and landing. The jump height is determined by the following elements: height of the centre of gravity (COG) at take-off, flight height of COG, length of the kicking leg and angle betweenthat leg and the line perpendicular to the board.


Key words: jump evaluation, special techniques, taekwon-do
