My first martial art ever was taekwondo (WT). I did it for like 2 years from like age 6-8 but then quit because the school was kinda trash. A few years later I wanted to get back into martial arts, but at that age I wasn't really aware of the differences between different martial arts, so I did karate for 7 years. Now I'm looking to get back into taekwondo but ITF. Both are amazing but since I've always prefered kicks, taekwondo is better for me :D
TKDs roots are actually in Shotokan. then Taekyon got added to it. the original forms were all the same Shotokan forms. then the leader of South Korea got involved and made them adapt Korean terms and names and remake all the forms to give it a Korean identity . the 9 original Kwans all adapted one name , one set of forms and one ranking system. those who did not want to do that were shunned and not recognized. and they came here. only to eventually give in to get recognition , but not before teaching some people like Alex Simkins who kept Chun Do Kwan original. and Kang Duk Won which is still original. and back them when I was younger TKD was called Korean Karate.
Yup and a more karate style was also born, Tang soo do which had of course Shotokan as its base, taekwondo, Taekyeon, Chinese kung fu, kickboxing, and a lot of bits from other martial arts, like judo and I’m not super sure but maybe wrestling? Tang soo do is super flexible but that’s also its weakness. But Chuck Norris did well.
I'm a purple/black in Karate and 1st degree black belt in Taekwondo. I say that both have their advantages and disadvantages depensing on the situation. Use Karate as a more defensive style for close in quarters and use Taekwondo for a more of a mix of offensive & defensive style as the the greater use of kicks makes it useful for longer distances!!!
Tae kwon do is pretty much like karate, but mostly kicks. Karate use both punches & kicks. I would say both blocks technic are similar. My late brother practiced karate he asked to kick or punch him. I chose to kick then he blocked my kick with karate block technic which is similar tae kwon do block technic. Tae kwon do is korean karate

Karate is my foundation and just started taekwondo.
I think karate is the right martial art for me
That's awesome! Karate is a great martial art for building discipline, strength, and self-defense skills. Best of luck on your martial arts journey!
I agree because Karate teach you more discipline, focus, mental and situational awareness.
@@ronaldlee7566 yeah and It’s so fun I love It
@NyetherPlays Tnx😊
@@ronaldlee7566taekwondo also teaches the same things
I tried shotokan but don't really like it. gojo ryu and uechi ryu and kyoshuin karate I prefer better because it feels more like a challenge
I am a karate student brown belt in shito ryu style.

I always like taekwondo
I do both.
They both use the belt system.
Karate is the right choice for me.
I wish i can learn both but i just get the chance learn taekwondo only.
Hmm, between Karate and Taekwondo I’d pick….. Muay Thai.
