Tang Japanese
Why is Tang Soo Do called karate, if it’s more similar with Tae Kwon Do?
Karate is japanese. Tang Soo Do (Mo duk kwan – Soo bahk do) and Tae Kwon Do are both korean.
Someone help me understand.
Also why is the new Jackie Chan movie called “The karate kid” if they are teaching him Kung Fu?
Don’t worry 
I’m not american!
This started in the 1960′s when lots of Koreans opened martial arts schools in the U.S.A. They knew that Americans had for the most part never heard of the arts they teach. To bring in students they began to have signs on their schools that said either Karate, Korean Karate, Taekwondo Karate, Tang-
Soo-do Karate, …
The trend stuck and it continues today, even though none of those arts are correctly called karate. Only traditional martial arts from Okinawa or Japan are correctly called Karate.
The new Karate Kid movie is just another example of something being mislabeled to promote it and make money from it.
