World Taekwondo's rules require WT-recognised uniforms and equipment at the events on its calendar. For poomsae events, WT outlines say competitors must wear the WT-recognised poomsae competition uniform, and anyone without one is not allowed to compete.
World Taekwondo's technical guidelines also say the material of a kyorugi competition uniform must be different from the material of a standard dobok. That's why sparring and training uniforms feel different.
Lightweight sparring and poomsae uniforms are thinner than training uniforms. Wash them cold, inside out, and line dry. See our care guide.
At World Taekwondo events, no: a WT-recognised poomsae uniform is required. Many local events allow a normal uniform. Check the event outline.
For most students, a good training uniform is enough. Sparring uniforms suit students who spar a lot, because they're lighter and cooler.
