In taekwondo, a weight class is a standardized weight range for taekwondo practitioners.
A taekwondo gyeorugi is usually scheduled for a fixed weight class, and each practitioner's weight must exceed the lower limit, and must not exceed the upper limit.
[1] Most of the domestic / international taekwondo competitions for senior practitioners have traditionally consisted of 16 weight classes, eight for men and eight for women.
[2] Since the International Olympic Committee limits the total number of taekwondo entrants to 64 men and 64 women, there are only eight weight classes - four for each gender - at the Summer Olympics, and the Pan American Games as well.
