Ive heard of karate and judo and tae kwon do. What is the difference?
Let’s take karate vs. judo first. Karate is to judo as boxing is to wrestling. Karate is mostly kicking and punching. Judo is throwing and grappling, no striking allowed. Tae kwon do (and moo dul kwon) is a Korean martial art. Karate is Okinawan or (in the case of Wado karate) Japanese. Both karate and tae kwon do are punching and kicking arts. However, tae kwon do places heavy emphasis on kicking and somewhat limits punching. Karate teaches fewer types of kicks, but much more punching is allowed. Back to top.
