Extension (overtime) (yeonjang, 연장): in kumdo, the extra period played when a match is not decided within the time limit (gyeonggi sigan, 경기시간). The Korean match rules reproduced on club pages call this yeonjangjeon (연장전).
- The first competitor to take one hanpan (한판, point) wins. The same rules also allow the result to be settled by panjeong (판정, judges' decision) or chucheom (추첨, drawing lots), or the match to be a draw (bigim, 비김).
- Under those rules, the standard match time is 5 minutes and the standard extension is 3 minutes.
- The head referee (jusim, 주심) declares the extension (yeonjang seongo, 연장 선고) and restarts the match. When the extension begins, both flags (gi, 기) are held close to the body, and the score sheet is marked «연장».
- If a competitor cannot continue during the extension, the winner is awarded one hanpan.
- In an extension, if both competitors commit their second foul (banchik, 반칙) at the same time, the foul is cancelled.
- A notice from the Korea Kumdo Association (Daehan Geomdohoe, 대한검도회) says that if 3-minute extensions repeat three or more times without a result, the jusim may stop the match because of heat or fatigue and resume it after a 5-minute rest.
