Arnold, you are right. However, Koreans and Chinese think differently. If you identify Taekwondo and Kung Fu with karate, they get angry.
Thanks! Hansome man in seattle.

It is like spoon and shovel. Taekwondo and Kung Fu might be the same like a cat and a lion is the same. It might be like a pond and an ocean. Better yet, it might be like the difference between a cat and a dog. I could tell you that I have two pets. I have two animals. You could say, "No, you have one dog and one cat because a dog is not a cat and cat is not a dog." Yes, Taekwondo is not karate and karate is not Taekwondo. But there are clearly differences between defining terms specifically and generically. For example, I could get mad, specifically, if you were to say, "Handsome man in Seattle." But generically speaking, I could be not mad. Because I am specifically not in Seattle. But generically speaking, "IN SEATTLE" does not mean actually in Seattle but perhaps near Seattle or in the Seattle area as I do in fact live outside of Seattle and in the general area. Likewise, Taekwondo might live in the general area outside of karate or vice versa.
Dear Arnold, I'm South Korean, so I don't know much about American culture so you understand.
If you're unpleasant by the nickname of a handsome man in Seattle, what can I call you?
Normally, Americans made their nicknames good.
I am happy with your nickname.
I'm glad you feel that way. hahaha
lol
