The aim of the present study was to develop a bibliometric analysis of the Hispanic scientific literature about taekwondo published in the main Spanish and Portuguese-speaking databases.The sample of study was composed by taekwondo-related research articles, retrieved from Dialnet, SciELO and Redalyc databases, written in Spanish or Portuguese without considering their publication date.Information search and retrieval was performed on March 2014.A total of 44 research articles have been written from 1995 to 2013, scattered over this period.Most studied research fields were psychology, biomechanics, sports medicine and physiology (70.5%).The journals publishing these articles were not specialized on martial arts and combat sports.Moreover, Hispanic countries more concerned about taekwondo research are Spain, Cuba, Brazil and Mexico, which are responsible for the publication of more than 80% out of total.Finally, countries with the greatest amount of taekwondo publications seem to obtain the highest results in Olympic Games, so future studies should be focused on the relationship between research and sport results in taekwondo.
