World Taekwondo keeps a list of recognised brands for each type of product: competition uniforms, standard doboks, protectors, electronic scoring systems and mats. Its recognised brands chart includes both JCalicu (JC) and Tusah.
Recognition is by product type. A brand may be recognised for uniforms but not for protectors, or the other way round, so check each product, not just the brand.
World Taekwondo used to be called the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF). Some older stock still carries the WTF logo. It's the same organisation; we sell that older JC stock in clearance for training use.
World Taekwondo's guideline says competitions on its events calendar must use WT-recognised uniforms and equipment. Mouth guards are an exception, because there is no recognised provider.
For classes, gradings and many local tournaments, it's not always required. But buying WT-approved gear from the start means your child won't need new gear when they start competing.
Our JC and Tusah uniforms and belts are WT approved, and our product pages show the WT badge. Our own IBEX Sports belts and boxing gear are not WT approved. [Confirm which protectors are WT approved]
Yes, in practice. World Taekwondo calls it recognised; most shops and brands say approved.
Usually not, but your club may ask for it, and it's required at World Taekwondo events.
