The two
most widespread martial arts training are Karate and Tae
Kwon do.
Many people question what the different is between these two martial
arts. This is the case for those who are interested in looking around
for a martial arts training school. Most schools in both karate and Tae
Kwon-Do wear the same type of white uniforms with a range of colour
belts. Traditional karate began in Japan after some inspiration from
Chinese martial arts.
There
are diverse
styles of karate but they are all generally considered as Japanese
martial arts in the present day. The colour belt system was created to
illustrate the various positions of karate practitioners with white
depicting beginners and black belts representing instructor levels and
higher.
There
are also
different coloured belts in Tae Kwon Do between white to black. Current
Tae Kwon-Do was created in Korea after much inspiration from Japanese
karate throughout the occupation by Japan. Tae Kwon Do has the same
white uniforms along with a colour belt ranking system as Karate.
These days, there are two
major techniques of Tae Kwon Do, the International Tae Kwon Do
Federation and World Tae Kwon Do Federation. There are a number of Tae
Kwon Do schools which have incorporated a black lining to their white
uniforms for black belts and V-neck top is often seen in schools
associated with the World Tae Kwon Do Federation.
It
is said, Karate
use 60% of their arms or hands for strikes or blocks and 40% on kicks.
This is seen in the various structure or Katas of karate which are set
pattern of simulated fights against imaginary opponents using different
techniques. The structure from Tae Kwon Do would have the opposite
percentage with 40% hands and 60% kicks. In Tae Kwon Do, there is also
additional emphasis on high kicking to the head than in karate. Tae
Kwon Do students also make use of more jumping or flying kicks and
patterns are usually a bit shorter and less complicated than the Karate.
