Taekwondo Sparring competition can be conducted as either an individual or a team sport. INDIVIDUAL COMPETITION: Most tournaments are individual where each competitor enters his or her division according to rank, age, and (in the case of Black Belts) weight divisions. There might be only one competitor in a division if that is the only person who shows up and is eligible to compete that day. In most cases, there are 2 to 8 competitors but it could be as many as 16 or more. In many tournaments, divisions with less than 5 competitors are consolidated with another division of similar age and rank. A bracket system is used to eliminate fighters, and advance others to the final rounds for 1st and 2nd place. TEAM COMPETITION: In the World Taekwondo Federation rules for Olympic Sparring, the weight classes are divided into male and female (Black Belts only). Each one has five weight divisions, so there would be five members on the male team, and five members on the female team. Thus, in an international competition, each country could send a team of ten members (5 male and 5 female). International competitions must have at least 4 countries participating, with at least 4 contestants in each weight class (weight classes with less than 4 contestants are not counted in the official results). In Team competition, individuals earn their medals by winning their weight class. The team is awarded 1 point for each successful weigh in, 1 point for each win (including a bye), plus an additional 7 points for each gold medal, 3 points for each silver medal, and 1 point for each bronze medal.

Karate is probably the most famous martial art in the world, specifically the Korean version of Taekwondo, but Judo may be more well known.

Judo has been a part of the Olympics for almost 50 years and even the small children know its name. There are millions of karateka in the world so it would be impossible to determine the exact number of practitioners.

Note- People who practice karate are called Karate-ka
