Well the rules have changed in WTF competition. Now instead of being boring and lengthy with low action.. TKD is a lot better.
Punching has been added to TKD!
I was watching a tournament and witnessed a guy score 14 to 1 using punches! This is unheard of, its usually 2 to 0 or something.. This adds lots of excitement to TKD. Anything that is not knife hand, palm strike, or two finger strike is permitted. So any type of verticle punch, reverse punch, jab, upper cut, hook punch is permitted... major victory for TKD participants everywhere!

huh? i thought punches were always allowed in W.T.F but are rarely scored. To my knowledge you have to make your opponent shift back an inch when you punch him; in order to score a point with a punch.
are you saying you can score with a punch without pushing him/her back an inch??

Yes they were allowed, but only one type.. it had to be a full body type reverse punch or something... now any punch is permitted, and yes at upper level you can punch to the face also. When you punch, your opponent either has to flinch or be moved in order to score a point. They are scored far more now, in what I have seen.
