Asia Pacific Taekwondo Academy practices Olympic style sparring. Though taekwondo is an very effective martial art for street defense, Olympic style sparring (WTF) takes out the dangerous components of the martial art in order to make for a fun and dynamic sport that can be played by anyone with less worry of injury. This consists of the two players facing each other over a number of rounds (maximum of three).

The sport is contact and so the players have to wear chest protector, helmets, shin guards, and arm guards. The rules allow kicks anywhere to the chest and sides of the body (but not below the belt) as well as punches are not allowed to the face.
