■ Summary of News ■ On July 29, 2021, Chosun Ilbo benchmarks Japanese judo after the unwilling result of Taekwondo, a sport originating in South Korea, with zero gold medals in all classes at the Tokyo Olympics. It turns out that it should be pointed out. At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where Taekwondo became the official event, Korean athletes won three gold medals, but at the 2012 London Olympics they ended up with one gold, at the 2016 Rio de Janeolo Olympics they ended up with two gold medals, and finally at the Tokyo Olympics. Could not be obtained. The Chosun Ilbo analyzed the cause of this extremely disappointing result. The first is that Taekwondo has become global. At the Tokyo Olympics, eight gold medals were shared in seven countries, and gold, silver, and bronze medals were shared in 21 countries. In other words, while it was a minor sport that originated in South Korea, there were many chances to win medals in South Korea, but the chances were drastically reduced at the Tokyo Olympics, in which 61 countries and organizations participated. The second reason is that the tactics and strength of Korean Taekwondo players were being researched, so they were easily captured by players from other countries. Thirdly, he pointed out that Korean players could show their abilities only at a distance, but they couldn’t show their abilities because they were brought into close quarters. But these analyzes sound like excuses. After all, the weakness of each player is probably the biggest cause. Meanwhile, the Chosun Ilbo also analyzes that Japanese judo has already won six gold medals in the tenth class. According to it, Japanese judo is much faster and more widely globalized than taekwondo. And the research of overseas teams for Japanese judo players is more advanced and thorough. However, Japanese judo is still able to maintain the strongest level in the world. It was analyzed that the cause of this was the thickness of the Japanese team, which has 1 to 4 armies. The All Japan Judo Federation also analyzed that the chances of individual athletes participating in the world championships are minimized to avoid exposure and to give no research material. After all, Chosun Ilbo explains that it is necessary to benchmark Japanese judo in order to strengthen Korean taekwondo. “Korean Taekwondo also has a large player base, but it seems okay to emulate the Japanese judo method and borrow the parts that can be used,” said Song Taekwondo, team manager at Kyung-il University in South Korea.

It is said that the topic of whether or not it is being discussed is being discussed. The “sensor scoring system” wearing electronic armor with a built-in sensor was also adopted in the Taekwondo competition at the Tokyo Olympics. The introduction of the sensor scoring system has dramatically improved the accuracy of the referee’s judges, but has also brought about a major change in the way the referees fight. With the sensor, regardless of the strength of the hit, the point is just by touching, so even if the kick is out of shape, you only have to hit it. Also, tall and long-legged athletes have an advantage. After all, taekwondo originally started as a martial art, imitating Japanese karate, but now it has become extremely sporty and it is no longer possible to watch dynamic games. From the Korean netizens who watched the Tokyo Olympics Taekwondo competition, “It was very boring to watch,” “It’s like fencing with your feet,” “Tug of war would be far better for the Olympics.” That’s why it’s said to be the number one candidate for the official event and dropout. ” According to the New York Times in the United States, taekwondo has become a sport of hope for countries with few medals. It is pointed out that the country of origin, South Korea, is lacking in ability, so with a little practice, you may have a chance to win a medal. It can be said that Taekwondo in South Korea is an Olympic event but also a minor competition. The theme this time was “Why did Korean taekwondo have zero gold medals? Let’s benchmark Japanese judo!” When these reports were posted on the major portal site Naver, the following reactions were seen from the Korean people. “When Korean players are out, I stop turning the channel and see it, but it’s not very interesting and boring to see what taekwondo is really for.” “Taekwondo has become a sport of stroking with your feet. “It’s rude to fencing when you call it foot fencing. The fencing game is very powerful and thrilling.” “It started with the imitation of Taekwondo and deteriorated.” Korea It seems that the players often complain and complain that the cause of the defeat was “the sensor was out of order” or “the judgment was wrong”. If you want to benchmark Japanese judo, I would like you to learn from the Japanese martial arts spirit and manners first. As mentioned above, Kaori Amai has navigated. How did you feel about it?
