Taekwondo is a korean martial art, based on respect and discipline. As a sports practice, is a modality that involves different motivational factors or it has just directed the focus and goal of each athlete during practice. In this way the objective of this research was to analyze the motivational differences between beginners and veterans in Taekwondo. Twenty-four athletes participated in the study, from a training center in Maringá (PR, Brazil)), aged between 18 and 31 years, of which 12 were white bands and 12 black bands. The Sports Motivation Scale II (SMS II) was used. The data were analyzed by means of the statistical program SPSS 15.0. In order to compare the categories of the motivation test in relation to the athlete’s graduation, the Kruskal-Wallis test was used and to see as multiple comparisons, Tukey’s test. The results show that among beginners and veterans, intrinsic motivation (md=6.00) and extrinsic motivation identified (md=6.00), as we present higher indices, which make up the interest for the practice is spontaneous or presents interiorization. Regarding the comparison between beginners and veterans, the only factor that presented the significant difference (p=0.000) for the demotivation which white bands were less motivated for training than the black belt. It is concluded that, among the two groups analyzed, the levels of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, in general, are shown to be equal, however, the dismantling process of athletes black bands is superior to those of athletes white bands beginners in Taekwondo. These data demonstrate that over the years of training, demotivation may increase, leading to an avoidance of the sport.
