KARATE IS BETTER BECAUSE IT IS MORE ABOUT POWER
Tae Kwon Do uses too many moves that will allow you to be knocked off balance too easily. Plus, more styles of karate focuses on tougher conditioning while Tae Kwon Do practioners focus on not being "touched" at all when sparring. By the way, I am a 3rd degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but I am more interested in the hardness of Kyokushin Karate or Seido Karate.
Karate is more all around.
based on my own personal experiences that karate saved me in street fighting.
is more well rounded
Idk
Taekwondo emphasizes high kicks which are impressive but impractical for self defence.
Because karate has more complete technique and the uses of arm and kicking technique is balance
It have a more defensive technique with both hands and legs.
Because Japanese Karate focuses on extreme physical power while Korean Taekwondo focuses on simply doing techniques. Many people have black belts in Taekwondo but little physical power. Of course, a very small number of black belts in Taekwondo have a good amount of physical power, and these black belts tend to be very big young people who attend classes 4 or 5 times a week; but it is common to find Taekwondo schools which issue black belts to individuals who have no real strength, no special endurance; something which would never occur in Japanese Karate.
