[quote=Anonymous]To answer your question, Karate is a Japanese martial art, TKD is Korean. They are different and then there are different styles within each. Both involve kicking, punching and blocking, in contrast to a grappling style like jujitsu. Typically neither involves a weapon although more advanced students may take those up. Either one is fine. More important is to find a good studio for your kid. You want a place that is encouraging and fun yet will demand effort and excellence from your kid (because true achievements are what develops genuine confidence). Some are more focused on sparring, which you'll probably want to avoid for now. Others focus more on teaching good technique in the forms. [/quote]
