The purpose of this study was to analyze attack skills and scores in 8 weight classes of female Taekwondo athletes who participated in the semi-final and final matches(48 athletes) in the 14th Asian Games(2002, Busan). The 14th Asian Games was chosen for this study because it is in these games that the rules were revised to a variable scoring system.

1. Korean female athletes: No significant difference was found in attack frequency in the light weight class and the heavy weight class. The attack frequency in the light weight class was shown to be in the following order: momtong-dolryeochagi(217 times), naraechagi(48 times) and dichagi(15 times). The attack frequency in the heavy weight classwas shown to be in the following order: momtong-dolryeochagi(263 times) and tchikeachagi(15 times).
