No…they mean two different things.
Martial Arts (or fighting systems) is defined as a code or repeated practice of steps or moves.
There are different styles of martial arts and they include all the fighting styles, karate, judo, tae kwon do, jeet kune do, jujitsu, etc.
Tae kwon do means "way of the fist" and is a Korean style martial art. The literal meaning can be misleading because tae kwon do is known for its flashy kicks and great for fighting someone at a distance, but has its weakness when it comes to in-close fighting, or using your hands.
Martial arts is a generic term, all the fighting arts are martial: boxing, kickboxing, the various schools of karate called ryu, mixed martial arts, kali arnis escrima (filipino arts), kung-fu, judo, aikido, Kendo and iaido (the way of the sword. They fall into two categories "the way" is a Do system. "the art" is an jitsu system. the Do is the way, more civilized, the jutsu is usually more ruthless, instead of pining the arm down you break it. It all depends on your personality and objectives. MMA are good, I’ve seen really good escrima, I’ve dabbled in Kempo and Aikido. Taekwondo is 90% kicks, and really high kicks, tho’ the Muay Thai style of kicking is considered the best. shop around, and learn a little bit, unless really interested stay away from Chinese systems they are over elaborate. If you want basic boxing and kicking skills I’d go for Muay Thai. If you’re keen on learning a really good self defense MMA or jujitsu (brazilian and traditional) are amazing. Some are more spiritual than others, only you can decide, I can’t the post doesn’t have enough info to make a definitive choice for you.

There are slightly different styles .
Based on Chinese Wu Shu , spread to Korea , Vietnam , Japan etc .
If you want to learn how to kick *** I cannot help you . I teach martial art , not kicking somebodies @$$ .
No martial arts and Tae Kwon Do are like comparing motorcycles. You have Honda, Yamaha, Harley Davidson, …etc. they are all different brands of motorcycles. Tae Kwon Do, Karate, Kung-Fu, …etc. are all different types of Martial Arts. Martial means "Military". Martial arts in the truest sense refers to combat fighting arts used in battle.
Martial Arts covers pretty much everything to do with kicking and punching, so in a way it’s at the top. Martial arts can then be broken down into things like karate, and taekwondo. These are a type of martial art. Then the karate and taekwondo can also be broken down into different styles such as Shotokan or Wado-Ryu.
Well Taekwondo is a system that was devised in Korea.Karate is from Japan,and Kung-Fu is Chinese typically.All is very important in completing the world of Martial Arts.Almost every continent has some sort of Martial Art’s attributed to the culture that has grown to survive there.Learning to kick you will need to stretch extensively.Then hang a heavy bag,and begin kicking it,slowly,then as you become better knock the crap out of it.Good luck,and stay focused!
just like basketball is a type of sport, taekwondo is a type of martial art. Martial art is basically all of the fighting styles, including taekwondo and karate.
Martial arts is a general term for all fighting art systems. Tea Kwon do and karate are some of the system in martial art.
If martial is = automobiles, then karate and Tea kwon Do = Ford and Buick.
As for kicking any body’s ***, you have to learn how to be kick on your *** first which is the first rule of any martial arts…learn how to receive before you can give.
This means you have to have money before you can give it away.
If you are broke, how can you give any money to anybody.
Now go join a martial art school and get your *** kicked so hopefully someday you may be good enough to kick anything.
