Karate Kwon
What is the difference between Tae Kwon Do and Karate?
I’m want to learn Self Defense (and for other reasons) so I looked up martial arts instructors in my area, and there was only Tae Kwon Do and Karate taught…
So like… what is the difference? Which is the more violent? Which takes longer to learn? Any other information is greatly appreciated!!
As you can probably tell… I know NOTHING about martial arts….
So please help!!
the main difference is karate originated in okinawa and was brought to japan in the 1900’s
tkd originated in korea and was influenced by karate in around the 1950’s
both consist of several styles.
–
Karate (the way of the empty hand) (Japanese, Okinawan). Modern karate can be considered a combination of various kung fu styles and to-de jutsu. consisting of grappling (throws, locks, traps, etc), pressure points, chokes, strikes and blocks, the major styles include.
Shotokan is both a hard and soft style. emphasizes long, deep stances, lunging, impact maneuvers, long and mid range fighting, some joint locks and throws.
Goju-Ryu: close-ranged fighting system that uses open-hand blocking and grasping motions, and short-ranged strikes. Both a hard and soft style.
Isshin Ryu is both hard and soft, predominantly a hard style and close range fighting
Wado-Ryu: combination of Shotokan and Japanese Jujutsu, there are far more joint locks, sweeps, and throws taught on a regular basis. Stances are shorter and more upright than Shotokan.
Shito-Ryu. Is both a hard and soft style, mid range to long range fighting kind of a cross between Goju-Ryu and Shotokan, taking the kata from both. But is a closer-ranged than Shotokan
–
Tae kwon do is about 65% kicking verses hand techniques Karate most styles is about 50 / 50 it will very from one style to another. It is a Korean military art and was influenced by shotokan in the 1950’s. it’s a close range style, known most for its high kicking ability.

as for Dean S i doubt he takes martial arts, he seems more like a child answering this question the a practitioner.
there is no best style they all have there pro’s and con’s what matters is how good your instructor is and how you train.
