Often times people look into Karate lessons because it seems to be a popular sport for families, both kids and adults. But what really is the best martial arts to practice?

Karate and Taekwondo are fairly similar martial arts. Karate originates from Japan and tends to have more hand techniques in the martial art; while Taekwondo is a Korean martial art which tends to focuses more on kicks. They are pretty similar, and in fact, some people call Taekwondo Korean Karate.
