Karate and TKD - 09/28/05 08:33 AM
Okey, this may be an annoying question for some, but I'm having this question that keeps bugging me all the time.
From what I've read TKD has a lot of techniques that are similar to Karate, so much that in my eyes, I'm unable to distinguish the two arts.
Now, what I wanted to know [in detail plz] what are the difference between the two art? From what I've seen is that both uses chambering, snap kicks, and knife hands and feet so I'm wondering where is the line that says "This is not Karate but it's TKD".
Let's say, one day this guy goes on stage and starts performing some kicks and punches, not wearing a gi or kobox[sp?] how do I know which art he's using?
Thanks if you are able to help me
