Speed and agility really come into play as the fighters challenge each other for points with their use of high, spinning, back and forward kicks. Body protection must be worn, as this is a powerful sport. Points are awarded for each contact made with the chest guard, which is known as the Hogu. The highest points are given by judges for the spinning high kick, which is considered to be the most difficult manoeuver to perform. For the Games, fighters wear electronic chest and head protectors as well as socks, which ensure correct scoring of the resulting points. Technical scores are counted by human judges who will be looking at the technical elements of the spinning and punches.
