Hanmadang Divisions
What is Hanmadang: Unlike Olympic-style sparring oriented competitions, a Hanmadang is, generally
speaking, a celebration or a festival. So, a Taekwondo Hanmadang is a celebration of Taekwondo; a festival in
which all students may participate allowing them the chance to gain confidence and self-esteem. The
Taekwondo Hanmadang should not be viewed as a competition, but more as an activity that showcases
competitors’ talents and abilities in Taekwondo. If one must think in terms of competition, consider it as being a
competition with oneself that leads to self-actualization. It presents each student the chance to be the best that
they can be at one event, without worrying about an external opponent trying to keep them from doing their best.
A Taekwondo Hanmadang consists of fun and challenging events. Those events may include Poomsae
(Traditional forms and Creative forms), Breaking (Speed breaks, High Jump breaks, Power breaks), SelfDefense Exhibitions (Weaponless, against multiple opponents armed and unarmed). There is truly something in
which everyone may participate and show their skills, from the youngest to the most senior in age.
Most Taekwondo Schools have curriculums that include forms, breaking, sparring and self defense
which fit to Hanmadang categories. Kukkiwon embraced the Hanmadang system long ago.
By adding Hanmadang competition to the Pan Am Championships, we will provide a wellrounded tournament experience.
Poomsae (Form) - Pair and Group Poomsae competitions will be judged by synchronization and harmony

Pair Traditional (WTF) Poomsae (2 players) – Ideal for wife / husband, siblings, Parent / Child or
simply pair up with a friend

Group Traditional Poomsae (3-9 players) – For whole family or group of fellow students regardless of
age

Creative Poomsae (2-9 players) – Time to be creative and highlight the variety of your favorite
techniques. The form must be composed within Taekwondo basic movements
Kyukpa (Breaking) -within 2 tries except Spin Kick

Fist downward (strike with knuckles) (1x12x10 pine boards) – Judged by number of boards broken, in
case of tie, whoever attempted the most boards is the winner

Knife Hand downward (1x12x10 pine boards) – Judged by same criteria as Fist Break

High Jump Front Kick (1/2” Demo Boards) – Judged by height of board broken, not the number of
boards broken

Longest Jump Flying Side Kick (1/2” Demo Boards) – Judged by how far you jump

1 Minute Stationary Consecutive Spinning Heel Kick (1/2” Demo Boards) – Judged by number of
boards broken in 1 minute - Target must be at least waist level; 1 or 2 holders allowed
Self Defense

Unlimited Creative Self-defense (against 1 or multiple opponents; either empty handed or with weapon
– Judged by creativeness, practicality, harmony and technique, etc.
