ShadowSkill Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 Which style has more flying kicks karate of taekwondo? Nothing in the world can take the place of PERSISTENCE!
three60roundhouse Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 I think a lot more practice goes into developing the spinning/flying kick in tae kwon do, but I have seen many karate pratitioners do 360s, flying/jumping kicks, etc. Tae kwon do is known for its flashy, high-flying kicks. 1st dan Tae Kwon DoYellow Belt Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu16 Years OldGirls kick butt!
Bretty101 Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 The styles of Taekwondo and karate are pretty much the same but with different emphasis on different aspects. A lot of emphasis is put on jumping and spinning kicks in TKD, but there are just as many flying kicks in each style. Freestyle karate, Karate, Korean karate, Taekwondo. They are all pretty undefined due to evolution and i'm yet to go to two clubs that claim to teach the same style which actually do. Bretty
ramcalgary Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 tkd usually but some styles of karate have adapted high kicks Honor is the most important thing a man has once you lose it it is gone forever
Jack Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 I think that this can be basically summed up to say that both Karate and TKD will teach the High, Spinning kicks, but that TKD has a greater emphasis of using and teaching these kicks. JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
spinninggumby Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 Yea I would have to agree that modern karate (and especially karate schools which prepare students for kata as well as kumite competitions) has acquired more focus on fancy jumping/flying/spinning etc. kicking techniques not too much unlike that of tkd. Also I think that many many other styles do contain and teach flying or spinning kicks as well, but it is most often in sport-oriented karate and tkd where it is emphasized and practiced most.

Angus Posted March 19, 2002 Posted March 19, 2002 What the?? TKD has way more high/spinning/jumping kicks in it than karate... If anything karate stresses the use of basics over the fancy spins and all that... The freestyle karate i do now doesn't even teach flying kicks at all!! Angus Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.
TKD_McGee Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Do not attempt the wheel kick if you are overweight, I repeat... Causes: -Bum Crash -Anger -Frustration -Springing Pain -Sprained Ankles Do unto others, as they done to you.
AnonymousOne Posted March 21, 2002 Posted March 21, 2002 Our school doesnt teach jumps kicks until at least San Dan level 7th Dan ChidokaiA true combat warrior has to be hard as nails in mind, body and soul. Warriors are action takers and not action fakers. If you are cruising, make time for losing
