Karate is the way of the fist. Taekwondo (in a different language) is the way of the hand and foot. Therefore, taekwondo differs from karate in that the foot is given a greater degree of importance. It has been said by TKD masters that the inclusion of the foot, and thus any other body part, is the mark of superiority against more limited styles of the Martial Arts.
