1944 to 1965: Karate and Taekwondo (Kwans) were basically the same.
1966 to Present: Taekwondo developed beyond Karate. The kicks today are very different.
Taekwondo was not developed from "Korean foot fighting" There was no direct Taekkyon influence on Taekwondo. The Korea Taekkyon Association dismisses the claim made by Choi Hong Hi that he learned Taekkyon from a North Korean named Han Ill Dong.
#1. Taekkyon painstakingly documented it's lineage
#2. Taekkyon was only around Seoul, not North Korea
#3. the mysterious Han Ill Dong was a caligrapher, far from the world of
roughians that did Taekkyon.
#4. Practice Taekkyon and you will see that Taekkyon is radically different, and opposed to Taekwondo. No relation.
Taekwondo is completely rooted from the following:
Shotokan
ShudoKan
Shito-Ryu
Chinese (Manchurian) martial arts
