How to get 5 points in Taekwondo?

To get 5 points in Taekwondo, a competitor must land a valid turning kick to the head. The scoring system differentiates points based on the weapon and target area, awarding them as follows: One (1) point for a valid punch to the trunk protector Two (2) points for a valid kick to the trunk protector Three (3) points for a valid kick to the head Four (4) points for a valid turning kick to the trunk protector Five (5) points for a valid turning kick to the head. Competitors win by points (higher total points at end of bout), points gap (having more than a 20 point lead in the third round), TKO (cannot continue or knocked out opponent), and golden score (the first to score 2 or more points in a deciding 4th round). Penalties are given as points to the opponent for infringements including stepping out of the ring, falling down, holding/grabbing, attacking a fallen opponent, inaction, and punching to the face.

To get 5 points in Taekwondo, a spinning head kick is required, which is the hardest to land and receives the most points. Five points are awarded for a spinning head kick. Spinning hook kicks, rear sidekicks that land on the head, spinning roundhouse kicks, and tornado kicks are all familiar kicks that will gain these five points. The kicking abilities of students in Taekwondo programs and their dynamic talents with their legs help them score maximum points in Taekwondo matches. These kicks are the hardest to land and, as a result, receive the most points. If they land with enough force, they can also knock out your opponent in many circumstances.
