Karate and taekwondo are very common sports that can defend themselves, so many people have joined the team of exercise, but people who are new to the two will not be able to distinguish between karate and taekwondo, today we will talk about the difference between karate and taekwondo.
The focus is different
karate
Karate includes kicking, punching, wrestling, holding, throwing, locking, twisting, reverse techniques, pointing and other techniques, and some genres also practice weapons.
Karate confrontation competitions are often used with both hands and feet, when kicking the legs, the knees are not lifted (test kicks) Shoulders, waists and legs are not horizontal lines that can not kick the strength of the whole body. In the routine (type), the overall technique is mainly based on the technique, and the leg method is mainly straight. In the actual competition, there will be back kicks (taekwondo called horizontal kicks), side kicks, back kicks and other actions, but most of them are calm and solid, less air leg methods and turning movements, and the routines are more "coarse".
taekwondo
Taekwondo is a kind of leg-based martial art, 80% of which is leg movements, and there are many routines, only kicking movements have to be divided into 8 directions and more than 70 kinds.
Kicks in taekwondo focus on horizontal kicks (kicks) and shoulder level lines. In the competition, there are many air leg methods and turning legs methods, and the movements are sharp and elegant. When the leg method is used, the rear leg attacks, so the footwork of taekwondo has a distinct feature, that is, the center of gravity falls between the two feet or is biased to the front foot, and the body posture is mostly in a sideways position, in order to protect the body and the key parts below and make the hind legs increase the strength and speed of the blow by twisting the waist and turning the hip.
The rules of the game are different
Effective attack by one side in the game causes the opponent to momentarily lose the ability to fight or the center of gravity to move significantly as the scoring criterion. Karate matches when the game is played against who gets a point first to start all over again.
Kickboxing scores with consecutive attacks from hand and foot when playing. Use the allowed technique to accurately and forcefully hit the effective scoring site. 3 points are awarded for the head, 2 points are awarded for spin kicks and back kicks, 1 point is awarded for other techniques, and the referee does not add points to the second reading.
The maximum score for a technical action is 3, while valid scoring sites include the abdomen and two ribs and the area of the face that is allowed to be attacked. If you hit a non-valid score area protected by the protective gear using the allowed technique, the score is counted when knocking down the opponent.
The way of playing is different
There is a sliding kick in taekwondo kicks, which suddenly attacks opponents at a distance, and karate does not have such a method.
When the karate side kick, the finger of the foot is pulled in, mainly kicking soft things such as the human body; taekwondo is the use of the heel, can kick hard things;
Karate wheel kicks are done with the instep of the feet, taekwondo wheel kicks are with the forefoot;
There are many kicks (volley kicks) in taekwondo, while karate is mostly pannacle kicks, although the strength is not as great as taekwondo, but the speed is faster than the volley kicks of taekwondo.
The costumes are different
The karate costume is generally pure white, the left chest is embroidered with the name of the dojo organization, the shape of the shirt is a cardigan, the left side of the placket pressed against the right placket, and tightened by the belt. The sleeve length is generally near the elbow, and there will be certain differences between different clubs.
The belt is generally a solid color, and the grades of the new pole zhenhui are white, orange, blue, yellow, green, brown, and black from low to high.
Taekwondo uniforms are generally white, the collar is black, there is a chest tag, and the hem of the jacket may be printed with the name of the guild hall, nationality and other words. The garment is shaped like a pullover and is fastened by a belt. Taekwondo has a "belt" concept, that is, the belt may exist in two colors at the same time, and almost all WTF taekwondo halls have achieved uniform grading of color. From low to high, they are: white, white and yellow, yellow, yellow-green, green, green-blue, blue, blue-red, red, red-black, and black.
