While there is some difference in the style, it really depends upon the country the martial art is from.

If you mean Okinawa Karate: * Front Kick - Mai Geri * Roundhouse Kick - Mai Washi Geri * Side Kick - Yoko Geri * Back or Mule Kick - Ushiro Geri * Stomp Kick - Fumakomi Some schools don't even teach all the kicks.

Which aspects of Tae Kwon Do are distinctly Korean and different from karate?

I believe that because the Koreans are taller than most Japanese, taekwondo was based around kicks as it was easier and kicks have more power than punches. Karate, like-wise, is based on punches because it was harder for most Japanese to kick at the height of a Korean's head. That being said.. taekwondo still has plenty of strikes and blocks as karate has many kicks
