A Study on the Meaning of referee’s authority by the Adoption of Science and Technology in Taekwondo

This study recognizes the change in the power of Taekwondo referees in determining the outcome of the game in relation to the introduction of science and technology such as Taekwondo electronic protector and image interpretation, which were applied as part of adding objectivity to the Taekwondo game. The research was conducted to provide basic data on the original meaning of the power of judgment and the direction to move forward. The results were as follows. First, the power of Taekwondo referees was the power recognized through the system derived through the agreement of the players, the instructors and the referees. This can be seen as the application of natural forces through norms. Second, grafting of science and technology was a natural phenomenon in modern society, and using Taekwondo as an axis in the course of competition must lead other speculative sports. And the power of judgment can be understood as a naturally changing process, not reduced or lost.
