Typically, Taekwondo athletes are not paid. The only time that athletes make any money is if they receive a corporate sponsor or private donations to fund their training and travel expenses. There is no set amount of money, and it will likely depend on many factors including the skill, ranking, and popularity of the individual athlete, and their ability to find more sponsors, or some sponsors who are willing to pay more. Sponsorship is often accompanied by an agreement to advertise a product or service, and might be regulated by some athletic governing bodies.
