RESUMO
The objective of the study is to discover and analyze the patterns of the technical and tactical moves that score in combat in taekwondo. We analyzed 209 moves that could be scored (male category, <68 kg, international scene) employing different complementary analytical techniques: analyzing traditional statistics, detection of T-Patterns, consecutive delays and polar coordinates. The existing studies in taekwondo only use technical analysis. The complimentary relationship of technical analysis is a rare experience due to the strength that it entails, with just as much human resources as material resources. This situational analysis provides the technical and tactical aspects of the scorable actions in taekwondo, discovering which standard drivers permit a competitor to score. In the actions targeted towards the face, it is more common to score as a fault, doing the opposite of the actions towards the breastplate. The techniques that are used the most to score are bandal chagui, miro chagui and dolio chagui. Among the technical and tactical moves that score, we highlight the direct attack moves (a kick to the breastplate with the back leg extended bandal chagui), in counterattack and for technical correction. We suggest reinforcing these actions in the trainings.
