Is it better for girls to learn karate or taekwondo?

Once a girl is born, many parents will want to enroll her in some extracurricular activities to improve her temperament, make her body better and more graceful. This ignores the fact that many girls do not like these sports, but like boys' Taekwondo and Karate. These martial arts are martial arts that many parents are unwilling to let their children learn, thinking that it is not suitable for girls. However, if girls want to learn, it is also possible. So is it better for girls to learn Karate or Taekwondo?

In karate, the uniform is open-collared and no shoes are worn. The martial arts are mainly fierce, alternating between hard and soft. Especially in practical karate, pay attention to the combination of leg techniques (long-range killing) and hand techniques (close range attack). Because I have fought against Taekwondo fighters of the same level (I am a black belt in karate), I personally feel that Taekwondo is not very lethal. If girls want to practice it for self-defense, I recommend you learn Aikido, which is mainly based on hand techniques and is more suitable for counterattacking after being attacked by the enemy.

In addition, a summer vacation is only a little over a month long. If you practice Taekwondo and Karate, you can only learn some basic hand and leg skills (the work of opening the ligaments cannot be completed). Therefore, if you want to achieve some success, it will take at least 2 or 3 years.

Taekwondo: Comparing Taekwondo and Sanda, we can see that the biggest requirement of Taekwondo is speed. The movements require walking in a straight line to minimize the movement distance and attack the opponent as quickly as possible, but the short attack distance also limits the exertion of strength. Sanda, on the other hand, pursues strength more, relying on large-range body swings to maximize strength. Therefore, if you are in good physical condition, it is recommended that you learn Sanda. On the one hand, you have strong ability to withstand blows and it is okay even if you are slow and get hit a few times. Once the attack is effective, the outcome can almost be determined with one move. People who are not in good physical condition are better off learning Taekwondo. On the one hand, they have better defense and are not easily hit hard. On the other hand, only by attacking the opponent first can they find a chance to win.

Karate: Nowadays, Karate is mainly used in competitions and performances, so it is required to stop when the target is reached. However, if the techniques of Karate are used in actual combat, that is, "hitting but not stopping", it is actually very painful and usually causes injuries to meridians and bones. The problem is that when practicing, we always stop at the point. If we want to do more than just the point in actual combat, we need to overcome our movement habits.

Now everyone knows whether it is better for a girl to learn karate or taekwondo. In fact, learning karate or taekwondo depends on personal preference. It does not mean that girls who are weak and delicate should learn more flexible movements. In fact, girls can also learn some stronger movements. Girls can learn both taekwondo and karate, but they must be careful not to overwork themselves during practice. As long as they are interested and can persist, it will be fine.
