The fighters involve a much taller blue belt vs. a smaller black belt fighting, with kicks, grappling, throws, and a variety of martial arts action. Taekwondo originated in Korea and Jiu-Jitsu came from Japan.

Jujutsu schools may utilize all forms of grappling techniques to some degree (i.e. throwing, trapping, joint locks, holds, gouging, biting, disengagements, striking, and kicking).

Taekwondo was developed almost directly from Shotokan Karate. And Karate is about 50/50 hand and foot techniques, respectively. But honestly, it’s probably more 70/30, the emphasis naturally being on hand techniques.

Most assume that the kicking emphasis of Taekwondo developed as a conscious effort of the founders. While it’s true pioneers like General Choi intentionally pushed the development of newer, more fantastic kicks, the kicking affinity was noticeable even in the earliest years of Korean Karate. That said, even then the focus on hand techniques was greater–more karate-esque–than Taekwondo today.

Taekwondo

Taekwondo (English pronunciation /ˌtaɪˌkwɒnˈdoʊ/ or (thai-KWAN-doh): also transcribed as Taekwon-Do or Tae Kwon Do) is a Korean martial art with a heavy emphasis on kicks. Taekwondo was developed during the 1940s and 1950s by various Korean martial artists, as a blend of the indigenous Korean fighting styles of taekkyeon, gwonbeop, and subak, with influence from foreign martial arts, such as Karate and Chinese martial arts.
