 We have seen to forgot the question.
Is not comparison that we are looking for is the diffrence, well its basic, tae kwon do its korean and it a lot younger than karate, it is not from karate but influenced by it, karate is japanese or okinawa which is the same. Karate bases it self in tradicional movement, well most styles anyway, and tae kwon do on kicking movement, tradicional, or olimpic.
Both are not real selfsuficient for street fighting unless the practioner has a open mind.
If we are looking at the down fall, ill say both lack realistic fighting move ments, thought tkd, has the upper hand, since kicking is a plus on street fighting, but it lacks punches, and karate is still to tradicional(useless). Thats just looking from the point of view of styles, really it all depends on who teach is it, and how well the student grasps it. |
