What is the difference between
Karate and Taekwondo?
Karate is Japanese
and Taekwondo is Korean.
It can be generalized that in
Karate, one would use
their arms or hands for 60% of the time for strikes or blocks while the use of
legs for kicking will be about 40%.
Taekwondo would have the
opposite percentage breakdown with 40% hands and 60% legs.
Hold belt at its center,
ends even, rank indication on the left side.
Place center of belt on
front center of jacket, about one inch below the naval (a location called the
tanden). Wrap belt around your waist, crossing the right side over the left side
at center of the back. Rank indication will now be on your right side. Pull ends
of belt forward and adjust so the ends are even.
Lay the left side of belt
over the tanden. Lay the right side of belt across the tanden. Rank indication
will now be on your left side.
Slide the left side of
belt (Rank indication side) under and behind all the belt layers at the tanden.
Rank indication will still be on your left side.

indication) end of belt down and over the front of the U
Loop Rank indication end
under and up through the U shape to form a knot.

to tighten knot. Rank indication will be on your right side.

belt are even and hang neatly.
Name goes on students left side and rank goes on students
right side.
