A student of Karate versus a student of tae kwon do? who would win?

Whoever is the better fighter. There are a lot of factors:

Experience

Size

Strength

Age

Attitude

Talent

Luck

It is not the art, it is the artist.

Tae Kwon Do has a lot more kicks and strikes. It matters on the skills of both groups. If one group only has white belts and other as all black belt. You can guess who is going to win. So it is the skills and years training not the art.

i'm a Tae Kwon Do scholar and it bothers me. human beings often do no longer additionally be attentive to sufficient approximately TKD to call it Korean nevertheless. Alot of folk I meet think of its only the comparable element as karate. additionally, the origins of TKD are disputed. some human beings say that the Koreans made TKD from karate, and a few think of that they have been more suitable one after the different from the comparable source.

The question is pointless. There are numerous different types of karate. It's like asking who would win a white guy or a black guy. Now I bet I could take Gary Coleman, but I'd be running as fast as I could from Tyson.

The Martial Artist with the best strategy to win, or whichever Martial Artist whos has dedicated themselves to training and perfecting their techniques and skills.

That is going to be the winner of the match.

There is NO Martial Arts discipline that is better than another or is the "best" discipline in the world; only good or better Martial Artists. there is always a BETTER fighter.

By saying that one discipline of Martial Arts is going to win or is better than another only shows your opinion of partiality, or bias to YOUR favorite particular discipline and does not show the proper credit or respect to the PERSON who is doing the actual fighting.

So it is incorrect to say which DISCIPLINE will win as opposed to which fighter or competitor will win.

It would depend on how good the opponents are. And I have to warn you that there are a lot of commercial schools out there- or as some people like to call them, McDojos. So it would also depend on their training.

it depends on the person my friend is a born fighter and he beat someone up who was a black belt in karate now 1 punch broke his nose blood everywhere then his dad came and actually laughed at his kid my dad would too if i lost

This is such a loaded question.

The winner will be the one that has the highest quality and frequency of training.

There are no best arts, only best artists.

Anyone that makes a snap judgment on this is mis-informed.

depends becuz karate has all 4 parts to attack and tkd has 2 parts.

i think not, my instructor beat a taekwondo guy in a tournament. taekwondo is not at all good, its just so popular everyone assumes its the greatest in some senses like kung fu. the leg should not be exerted more higher then the middle of of your stomach so therefore taekwondo i believe is uneffective

think of this, who will win: Barry Bonds or Shaquille O Neal ? They're not the same.
