The Difference Between Karate and Taekwondo

The two most common martial arts practiced in North America are karate and taekwondo.  Many wonder what the differences are between these two martial arts.  This is especially the case for those who are just starting to look around for a martial arts studio.  After all, most practitioners in both karate and taekwondo seem to wear the same type of white gi or dobok uniforms with various colored belts.

Modern traditional karate was developed in the islands of Okinawa in Japan after some influences from Chinese martial arts.  There are actually different styles of karate but they are all commonly considered as Japanese martial arts today.  The colored belt system was developed to show the various ranks of karate practitioners with white depicting novices and black belts (with various degrees) representing instructor levels and higher.  There is a whole range of other different colors in between.  Modern taekwondo was developed in Korea after much influence from Japanese karate during the occupation by Japan.  Indeed, taekwondo is sometimes referred to as Korean karate.  The Koreans adopted similar white uniforms along with a colored belt ranking system for taekwondo.  Today, there are two main styles of taekwondo, one under the International Taekwondo Federation and the other under the World Taekwondo Federation.  Many taekwondo schools have added a black collar to their white uniforms for black belt levels.  A V-neck top is often seen in schools affiliated with the World Taekwondo Federation.  There are also older Korean styles including tang soo do and moo duk kwan.  Some of the more Americanized karate and taekwondo schools can also use uniforms with other colors such as red, black and blue in addition to the traditional white.

It can be generalized that in karate, one would use their arms or hands for 60% of the time for strikes or blocks while the use of legs for kicking will be about 40%.  This breakdown is seen in the many forms or katas of karate which are set routines which simulate fighting against imaginary opponents using martial arts techniques.  The forms or poomsae from taekwondo would have the opposite percentage breakdown with 40% hands and 60% legs.   In taekwondo, there is also more emphasis on higher kicks to the head level than in karate.  Taekwondo martial artists also utilize more jumping or flying kicks where one is airborne while executing kicking techniques.  The taekwondo forms or patterns are generally a bit shorter and less complex than the karate forms.  Some taekwondo schools have been known to use the odd karate form in its curriculum as well.

In North America as well as other parts of the world, there are separate traditional competitions for karate and taekwondo.  However, the open martial arts tournaments in North America often have competitors from both karate and taekwondo competing together.  Some of the larger open martial arts competition events will have separate forms divisions for Japanese karate and Korean taekwondo competitors but the fighting or sparring divisions will usually be combined.  Many black belts in taekwondo end up studying karate as well and the opposite has been true too.  Taekwondo has received more publicity in recent years since its introduction as an Olympic sport.  The style and rules used for the Olympic version of taekwondo fighting comes from the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF).   Both karate and taekwondo are considered as hard style martial arts in North America today (as opposed to soft styles such as the many versions of Chinese kung fu).
