Depends how detailed you want to look. Do a search... there's heaps of topics on this...

Generally speaking though, they are much the same. TKD is Korean and uses Korean commands. They have different forms and the techniques will vary somewhat. TKD tends to have more concentration on kicks.

Best bet though... search button.

TKD has some roots in Shotokan karate, as a matter of fact. However, in order to differentiate, they elaborated on the kicking, and it became more dynamic. There are differences between ITF and WTF TKD, and a search will help with that.

Lets help this guy out. i'll start with it simply.

Good start ,TKD was the korean answer to Japanese Karate .these two nations were not the best of friends !

In practice, they're quite different though. Difficult to describe. TKD is bouncier and kickier, karate is punchier and less flashy.

Depends which type of TKD. ITF is pretty close to Shotokan, but WTF does seem focus on kicks more.

Superficially, but the way that the same moves are perfomed and the methods of generating power are different. It's really difficult to describe without just saying "watch a class of each and you'll get what I mean!" :D

But I've been looking at a book on TKD, and some of the kicking techniques are very similar (in fact almost indistinguishable) from Wado Ryu, except perhaps that in TKD they are higher. Other kicks are very different in their technique.
