Sparring involves two athletes fighting in a controlled environment, while forms consist of performing a series of predetermined movements. Judges score the performances based on technique, control, and accuracy. Competitions can be local, national, or international, with events like the World Taekwondo Championships and the Olympics featuring top athletes. Participants aim to earn medals and recognition for their skills and dedication to the sport.
