Is Taekwondo dangerous?
Like basketball, football, and soccer, Taekwondo is a contact sport. It is possible to become injured, but debilitating injures are rare since all training is constantly supervised with safety in mind. Training areas are well equipped and protective gear is required to be worn by all students during partner drills, further reducing chances of injury. If protective equipment is worn and student’s exhibit control of their techniques, then injuries are minor and infrequent. The number and severity of injuries are less than other contact sports.
