Best Answer

Its is called as Korean Karate. Tae Kwon Do the national modern korean art has deep roots in ancient Korean styles, but the poomsae (forms) are based on those taught in Okinawan karate. Okinawan karate evolved from southern Chinese Martial Arts. You can find similarities between karate and nanquan or karate and hung gar.

Ancient Korean martial arts were developed from northern Chinese martial arts like chang quan.Hence, it encapsulates both, the Korean and Japanese traditions, as well as ancient Chinese.

People call it Korean karate because they see only the similarity between forms of Taekwondo and Karate. Yet, they forget that their concepts are opposite. Southern Chinese and Japanese martial arts fight in close range and make maximum use of arms. While, northern Chinese and Koreans are mostly tall, they fight in long range utilizing kicks at maximum.
