The dobok
The dobok is the training uniform. Its appearance and markings identify the Taekwon-Do tradition and, where applicable, the wearer’s status. Before ordering, confirm the appropriate model, size and markings with your instructor.
Equipment for an event
ITF maintains an official equipment directory. Approved doboks and protective equipment are required at ITF-sanctioned competitions. Check the specific product and the event requirements; a brand name alone is not a complete equipment check.
A practical preparation list
- Ask which equipment you need for your current training.
- Check fit, fastening and condition before use.
- Label personal equipment and follow its care instructions.
- Confirm competition requirements before purchasing replacements.
The official directory below provides product references. Your instructor can help distinguish everyday class needs from tournament requirements.
