Taekwondo free sparring—known as kyorugi in World Taekwondo (WT) and matseogi in the International Taekwon-Do Federation (ITF)—is a dynamic, unrestricted combative drill.

Students apply kicks, punches, and footwork in real-time to outscore opponents, focusing on speed, distance control, and strategy rather than self-defense.

Free sparring is heavily governed by strict safety rules to prevent injury, as the objective is to score points by making contact without impact by hitting valid target areas.
