tsd in karate?

[kitsune_no_tama]

the other day i was flipping through tv channels and i found this disney channel commercial that was being used to support activity. it was labled "karate dreams" in which the disney channel people interviewed a kid on karate. though if you zoom in on the patch on his uniform, it says he belongs to tang soo doo style. i was wondering whether tsd can be entered in a karate open or not. im pretty sure that tsd is a korean martial art, so im not so sure. maybe its just a blatent mistake made by the disney channel filming cast.

Today the word "karate" is very generic...most of the public just associates the word with martial arts in general. As far as open tounaments go, usually anyone can enter. They must fight by their rules and kata is judged on technique not style, although they may break the divisions down into hard or soft..it just depends.

i thought so. i guess disney just wanted to appeal to a wider variety of people by giving them a word easier to associate with martial arts than tang soo doo. as for tournament open ness, thats why im glad im in karate, because the ata taekwondo i used to be in was so introverted, the judges could only judge forms copywrited by ata.karate on the other hand, has entries from kung fu (gasp). its like squares and rectangles. a square(korean martial arts) can be a rectangle (japanese martial art), but a rectangle cannot be a square, sadly.

I used to practise Tang Soo Do. At that time if people from outside would ask me what I practised, I usually answered that I was practising Taekwondo. Some other students of my school also did this. The reason for this was that nobody ever had heard of Tang Soo Do, Taekwondo was more commonly known. If you answered that you were practising Tang Soo Do, you again and again had to explain what Tang Soo Do was. Because you were not always in the mood to do so, you just said you were practising Taekwondo.
