Let's keep our identity though our classic Dobok. A good communication must be based on consistent image and exposure.

This change is al about making more money and doesn't even look good

I want the World Taekwondo to keep the traditional art of Taekwondo the way it used to be

(Batu, 2019-10-03)

I think that the essence of taekwondo is lost

Im signing this because I respect my sport and I love my martial art. Dobok is a symbol of my sport and the art form. Dobok is not worn to look fancy in appearance. It is very different from regular clothes we wear because Dobok is a symbol. A tradition and culture of the sport. You dont touch tradition. It stays with you for life and life after. Generation to generation. We should not dishonour and change something so symbolic. There is no Olympians or World champions who will come and say that they lost because our dobok is unbreathable and uncomfortable. Dobok has nothing to do with athletes performance, the game, and/or eye catching the spectator. This new so called "uniforms" will only make spectators AND athletes to look away and quit watching and participating in our martial art. So please. STOP.

Taekwondo is my favourite sport and it should not be changed this much...

(Langley, 2019-10-04)

I do not agree with uniform look.

(Saint Petersburg, 2019-10-04)

#432

Its ugly

(Sherbrooke, 2019-10-05)

#433

Because its ruining the tradition, changing basics are always problematic.

(Agra, 2019-10-05)

#436

It's an end to tradition

(Melbourne, 2019-10-06)

#443

It will kill the taekwondo tradition. The new uniform is nor for taekwondo.

(Bangued, 2019-10-13)

#445

please.. the new uniform is like Robin Hood wearing white pants... love the old Taekwondo... 80s and 90s.

(Putrajaya, 2019-10-16)

#446

Old dobok is the best... Its the traditional one... We don't like to change the tradition here..

(Mannar, 2019-10-18)

The new dobok pants look ridiculous!! They its easier to kick in and more comfortable??? I have seen better kicking techniques executed in the traditional dobok. Stop calling them fighters, they are not. Its just sport now. Front foot leg fencing. No power. Remove the electronic hogu, head gear and socks while your at it. Taekwondo is the joke of the martial arts world.

New dobok is ugly

(Hk, 2019-12-04)

#462

Looks ridiculous

(Aspley, 2019-12-04)

#467

They look terrible; they send a bad message; they are too form fitting; they look too much like pyjamas-spandex work out clothes. Part of the martial art is the mental- philosophical aspect and this is so far removed from that. No other martial art is going this route-

(Kanata, 2019-12-04)

I don't agree with the Taekwondo new uniform in Tokyo Olympic Game 2020

(Mataram, 2019-12-04)

#476

They need to maintain the Taekwondo history and its dobok.

(Brisbane, 2019-12-04)

#481

This uniform didn’t represent to this sports

(Hong Kong, 2019-12-04)

#484

The new dobok makes an already bad situation worse. New taekwondo fighting format looks like a game of foot tag. Notice how empty the audience section is even in world events? Even chess has more appeal. So the new dobok is about the reduce the number the more.

(Uyo, 2019-12-04)

#486

I do not think this dobok honors the traditions of taekwondo and allows us to be taken seriously as a true martial art

(Nelson, 2019-12-04)

#488

I'm am signing because that new dobok is ashame for Taekwondo! I am against.

(Eldorado, 2019-12-04)

#495

Traditional dobok is a symbol of taekwondo

(Posušje, 2019-12-04)

#496

They are ugly and not traditional

(Tallinn, 2019-12-04)

#499

I'm signing coz it's destroying our traditional Taekwondo dobok which i respect more than a gold 🥇 please don't launch this

(Multan, 2019-12-04)

#505

I’m signing because this dobok doesn’t represent very much taekwondo.
Also a lot of the Taekwondo audience is Muslim and many will not partake in it.
The clothing resembles more a legging and a dress than a dobok.
If you want to leave it, let it be optional and let the public chose between a dobok or the new “dobok”.

(Menen, 2019-12-04)

#506

I love traditional Doboks

(Jyväskylä, 2019-12-04)

#514

I have done taekwondo for more than 30 years and keep practicing. Taekwondo is a martial art, not a sport. Please respect the tradition!

(Montréal, 2019-12-04)

#518

This is a disgrace to the sport that is built on tradition

(Stockport, 2019-12-04)

#519

This is everything but a real Taekwondo dobok ! Besides this looks so gay on males...

(Genk, 2019-12-04)

#522

Tradition....

(Rio Tinto, 2019-12-04)

#527

I'm sign because is not nice for the taekwondo like a sport olimpic

(Tebessa, 2019-12-04)

#532

I don’t think the new kyorugi uniform is suitable.

(Brisbane, 2019-12-04)

#533

Competition should be held in the traditional dobok

(Woburn, 2019-12-04)

#534

The new Dobak is an embarrassment to the art of taekwondo.

(Morrow, 2019-12-04)

#538

We are a Muslim...

(Tyre, 2019-12-04)

#540

It's ugly

(Zagreb, 2019-12-04)

#543

let's keep taekwondo seriously. This nonsense does not attract potential new practitioners........

(Merkelbeek, 2019-12-04)

#545

The new uniforms look ridiculous

(Eagan, 2019-12-04)

#546

They look terrible and I prefer our traditional uniforms.

(West Orange, 2019-12-04)

#547

It's ugly and it makes taekwondo less serious. Many of us in taekwondo world, other martial arts and all the rest of the people who don't practice don't like this new uniform.

(Montréal, 2019-12-04)

#549

I do not like the design of these. Maybe get input before you make a final decision next time.

(Pleasant grove, 2019-12-04)

#557

We don't want the World Taekwondo to adopt the new uniform in Tokyo Olympic games 2020.

(Hong Kong, 2019-12-05)

#559

Not against progress but this is awful,
Let it go... mix modern and tradition ok but no pyjamas

(Montreal, 2019-12-05)

#563

Taekwondo an Olympic sport that is rooted in a Korean martial art tradition. These uniforms are an offense to the rich and old customs of the martial arts, of which dress is a part even when adapted to modern sport. If you are going to do this, why not do away with black belts and hold taekwondo competitions in full body spandex? Eliminate bowing and other features of the martial arts tradition? These uniforms are appalling.

(Hartford, 2019-12-05)

#564

I hate the new dobok

(Sacramento, 2019-12-05)

#565

Because tekwondo is a martial art, a combat sport not a dance team

(New york, 2019-12-05)

#569

I'm signing because the new dobok is a disgrace to the Art of Taekwondo. The traditional dobok should be used instead. I dislike the new one.

(Port Moresby, 2019-12-05)

#577

THATS YOGA PANTS NOT A TKD UNIFORM!!!

(Las Vegas, 2019-12-05)

#578

Should stick with the traditional uniform.

(Yorkville, 2019-12-05)

#585

I disagree

(Brussels, 2019-12-06)

#586

The new dobok does not go along the traditional Taekwondo spirit. Change is good, but this is not a change in the right direction. Taekwondo is a martial art, not a marketing brand to be promoted at all costs.

(Beirut, 2019-12-06)

#587

I sign because I respect taekwondo.

(Moelv, 2019-12-06)

#591

Neugodno je trenirati u tome ruzno je za vidjeti i prozirno je

(Split, 2019-12-06)

#592

NO to new uniform.

(Stouffville, 2019-12-07)

#593

The new uniform is terrible and inappropriate!

(Dothan, 2019-12-07)

#595

I'm signing because i don't want to use the new doboks. They don't look good.

(Philipsburg, 2019-12-07)

#596

There is no logic in this new dobok breaking tradition. Do not change our dobok.

(Lolo, 2019-12-07)

#598

They are not appropriate for Muslim women

(Houston, 2019-12-08)

Ridiculous and de-stabilising to the martial art of TKD - plus the comp. style is an utter joke compared to old school WTF comp fighting (yes fighting!)
