I'M signing because U prefer the traditional image as a sport combat in the Olympic 2020 Tokyo. Taekwondo promoting a great life style to the world community so the attire shall reflect to good example.

These uniforms are an embarrassment. Tkd has become a money making shallow caracature of the beautiful martial art I've studied for 35 years.

Taekwondo should not loose it's roots and history. We should not loose the art by diving into sports with less regards to the history.

As the owner of a tkd school for over half of my life, I have seen the Olympics inspire greatness in my students (and myself) time after time. Not this year. Even my youngest students agree that these uniforms look ridiculous. They certainly don't motivate anyone to reach for the Olympic platform, since no one wants to wear those!

Irrelevant! Disrespectful!

As a long-time practitioner of Tae Kwon Do, I feel that while the new dobok (uniform) may offer some minor benefits, it would ultimately destroy the morale and further corrode the reputation of the world's most popular martial art.

As a 4th Dan tkdist who has trained for 27 years..
Am sick and tired of how taekwondo has changed went from a power fast flowing martial sport to flip flappy on one foot kicking. This is the final straw legging and a dress!!!

Come on enough is a enough let's get back the power the speed and the traditional dobok . .

I really don’t like this new dobok. Don’t change history and old Doboks.

Marek Polak (Prague, 2019-09-28)

#60

I'm signing because the new propose dobok is not right to use, it will fade the traditional dobok away if we allow it to be use and so the traditional dobok has to be remain in respect of the art. Thank you

I'm signing because I don't want the new dobok in 2020 or other events. It's against TAEKWONDO's traditions and history.
Stop destroying the game. We missed the old TAEKWONDO and we want it back.. Please stop

I'm signing because the new uniform isn't a true uniform it's more like a pyjama. The old school one is so much serious and look like a true art martial uniform.

Efren Soto (Mallorca, 2019-09-28)

#87

How about Muslim (and other) athletes who prefer the lose, traditional, Dobok that is not so figure hugging?? And loose, stretchy materials are so much more comfortable, and keep you cool! Hence why they're used across most Martial Arts. Why change what's been working perfectly well so far?!

I am a parent of a 7 year old Taekwondo Player and the the President of Parents Association in Masbate City Philippines. I'm signing because we have invested to the current Dobok which is also expensive in the Philippines. I bought 3 Doboks 2 for Training purposes And a separate competition Dobok. And in our Province we treat Dobok as a sacred Thing not just a uniform and fashion trend and it has been respected not just in the Gym but during Regional Competition.

Taekwondo is losing its tradition and strength as a sport. This is not the way to go if we are promoting a martial arts. Also tights is not as functional for kicking than loose pants. It draws unnecessary attention to the shape of a fighters bodily shape than the actual sport. I disagree with all of the recent changes to the sport. No more the sport is applicable to self defense.

Adrian Spellen (Ellenwood, 2019-09-28)

There is no extra value in this funny and ugly dobok. It’s a big joke.

Nivek Wey (Groningen, 2019-09-28)

The old uniform is like it is for a reason.
Before being a sport Taekwondo is a martial art and we should respect its origins, culture and traditions (which the old uniform is one). Also sparing is not just a simple combat, it's also a strategy game where you try (in a fraction of a second) guess your opponent's move and at the same time hide yours. That is impossible with the new uniform as you can see everything through.
If the effect wanted with the new uniform was to make it more appealing then it completely fail its objective as it just looks ridiculous!

It’s the worst thing that you can do to our sport! This does not make more fun or spectacular, this does make it easier for others to make fun of our work and sport. This does not help to the development of the sport.

The dobok should remain as is! It is recognised around the world and links the modern Taekwondo fighting styles with the tradition of the martial art.

Shaun Hewitt (Durham, 2019-09-28)

I'm signing because I'm an instructor in TKD and don't want this martial art become more and more "shamed carnival".
