tae kwondo is better than karate karate hand techniques are the same as taekwondo so how can u judge it on that and didnt u say u dont know much about the two arts my point exactly ps u didnt spell legs correctly

i dont think that tae kwon do is better. i know it is.
i used to take karate lessons. its all about gathering power, so most attacks are ganna be slow. plus i watch a show called final fu on mtv or something and they take a bunch of martial artists and make them do all kinds of challenges and they make them fight using the point system. a karate guy was put uo with a tae kwon do guy, the tae kwon do guy won. but in the end the final fu was a guy that does ninjitsu.

for me it depends on the era. in todays world i would have to say that the modern karate would win. but when tae kwon do was first developed it used a lot mroe hand techniques, and it was actuallyt pretty even, and in those circumstances i'd have to say that traditional tae kwon do would beat traditional karate... but for modern styles, karate would win

you said it!

i hate all karate, it sucks. it also depends on the tkd master that you're talking about becuz in our center, we do many different types of fighting like submisions, striking, holds, grappling, self defence, and more. tkd would kick karate's ass.

Have You guys watched the movie where Bruce matched up with Chuck Norris??Now dat's a neat example of how good taekwondo is in countering Kung Fu styles.Even though Bruce won,he changed his style and Modified it so that he could counter Chuck's moves...and that din't work either.So, he had to resort to his technique where ...... We all know what style that is.......the bouncing - stance thing(whatever y'all may call it ....... hehe!! lolz)But you can get de picture from there right?? I mean It took even the great martial arts legend a great deal to mach Chuck's Tae Kwondo style.

I asked my dad his opinion. He is 3rd degree black belt in both tkd and karate and he said tkd is better by far

shark your talking about enter the dragon or way of the dragon. any ways, i already said that tae kwwon do is better but heres why i said it. when i was 8 i took up karate, most kids first martial art is karate. i took it until i was 10. cuz my dad fucked up my sensie i got kicked out. anyways, there was a big korean kid that did tae kwon do. you know, the kind with the big scary face and he ate dogs and stuff.

my friends uncle died in norht korea, so then my friend started cursing him out and crap. the korean kid ran upto him and started hitting him with open pawms. so i did what every friend would and i defended him. then he hit me. after that everday we fought after school for 2 yrs. then my dad tought me grego roman wrestling and after the summer ended i tied him up. lol i almost broke his ankle and he started crying. but before that my karate stood no chance to his tae kwon do.

chuck norris isn't even in Enter the Dragon, I think you're thinking of Bob Wall. anyway, cool story. the weird thing is that i've gotten into fights before i knew tkd, but now that i know, i've never once gotten into a fight.

in enter the dragon its chuck norris who fights bruce lee. chuck norris is alot better then bob wall. i have all the bruce lee movies. it even sais on the back of the tape case that chauck norris is a special guest.

he's not in it. which part are you talking about? the sticking hands? if so, that's Bob Wall! you honestly think i give a shit if you have all his movies? I do too. no one cares. i've seen the movie countless times and Chuck Norris is not in Enter the Dragon. Will anyone back me up?

sticking hands? wtf. it was the end, where bruce lee fought him. you might no recognize him cuz hes really young. dude, i know its chuck norris okay. im 20 yrs old, ive seen that movie 1000 times if not. i think i would know if it wasnt chuck norris by now. can someone tell him that chuck norris fought bruce lee in the movie enter the dragon!

he fought him in Way of the Dragon! Not Enter the Dragon! Get your head straight.

enter the dragon is way of the dragon. it was origanally way of the dragon, in usa they switched it to enter the dragon.

YOU SURE DO KNOW YOUR STUFF ON BRUCE LEE ONTITE

the film i'm saying that Chuck isn't in is the one with Han's tournament, which are you talking about so we're on the right page. anyway, i thought way of the dragon was return of the dragon because it was released in the US after enter the dragon (yeah i know, lots of dragons).

I'm pretty sure that Chuck Norris isn't in Enter the Dragon

I brought up dis thing about Chuck to claryfy a point ......Pliz don't fight.To be on de same page,It's the movie about when Bruce Lee went to Rome to Defend a restaurant and de Gang Leader hired Chuck from america to fight him.............NOW are we on de same page??

alright guys, chuck norris is not in enter the dragon. He's in return of the dragon or in hong kong and everywhere else way of the dragon. Return of the dragon and way of the dragon are the same movie. enter the dragon is a completely different movie. The only other name that Enter the Dragon would have had is Han's Island but Bruce Lee talked them into changing the name to Enter the Dragon before it was released. I can see how it's confusing. Just like fists of fury is the big boss overseas and the chinese connection is fist of fury overseas. That probably just caused more confusion. Alright look at this:

International title-U.S. title
The Big Boss-Fists of Fury
Fist of Fury-Chinese Connection
Way of the Dragon-Return of the Dragon

Oh yea, Chuck Norris and Bob Wall are both in Way of the Dragon or Return of the Dragon what ever you want to call it.

sry, i got mixed up with enter the dragon and return of the dragon.

hey i get them mixed up myself too.

it's all good, the titles are a bit tricky.

which unbelievable morons r sayin Norris does TKD HE'S A WORLD KARATE CHAMPION!!!! anywho in way of the dragon bruce figths chuck in the colluseum and in enter the dragon he fights Bob.

dude look up the wtf history page and you will see that chuck norris has won a couple of prestiege awards in tkd. not to say that he also didnt have a degree in karate because im not a chuck norris expert. btw chuck norris met bruce lee through tkd.but that dosent really matter right?

I remember seeing Kyokushin beat TKD in a vid, but I think the TKD was supposed to be a related Korean style.

Just as a present for you, here is TKD beating karate:

And here are some more TKD clips:

btw the best video was keith hackney vs royce gracie.

How many did you watch?

And I agree, Hess was and is a douchebag. He goes up and starts smacking around Anderson, and then just show off his mad streetfightin' skillz, he needlessly and sadisticly rakes his eyes.

On a lighter note, Hess' lost his only other pro-fight in 5 seconds by knockout. Also, Anderson got the prize money Hess would've gotten ( The only penalty for breaking the 2 UFC rules in the old days was a fine; you had to give your money to your opponent) and then gave it to charity, because Anderson was already rich.

Oh, and check this fight out:

An old favorite. This is actually a pretty weird match up, because Fulton has more MMA fights than anybody in the world ( Although maybe not at that time, but he still had alot) and this was Jeremy's debut. Either way, it's still pretty funny. And don't worry, Jeremy only got the wind knocked out of him.

yeah i watched some of the matches but not all of them, and the keith and royce vid was the most memorable. btw did you see the videos of ken shamrock vs don frye? intense!

not to argue but fulton had 30 pound on the guy, so expereince wasnt the only unfair thing. one of the commenters(on youtube) said that jeremy broke his neck in three places.

btw what dan are you in tkd?

why did he need a stretcher out of the place if he got the wind knocked out of him? not to argue with you. :)just asking:)

Was there a stretcher? If there was, it was probably because he panicked ( Or maybe it was just the medics playing it safe). He's never done this type of thing before, you know.

There's never really been a report of any serious injuries in sanctioned, legal MMA tournaments. If he did break his neck, it would have been acknowledged ( And not just from some random chump on You Tube).

Doi Doi Doi Doi Doi!

i dink dat tai kwan do wood win cuz it is a military styles an karate sux!!!!!

butt you r write, its de person, not the style. but some styles r better than others, even though no style is better than anuther style.

yee thats true but my dad did taekwondo back in nam
but still id say karate would own taekwon do and also jeet kune do would own taekwondo too
