So does anyone know how Taekwondo scoring works? You seem to get more points for spin kicks than normal kicks and a kick to the head counts 3, but it was mostly a mystery.
Also, does anyone know why boxing, judo and taekwondo are chosen as the Olympic martial arts and not karate, aikido, that one with the big sticks? Do the three that are in have strictly codified rules and scoring systems or is it just historical?
