Karate is more “scientific”, is based more on self-defense rather than offense, encourages more to avoid getting into a fight than to be in one, is highly strict/rule-based/hierarchical due to how japanese society works…whereas kung fu is less “scientific”, based more on the belief that everyone will some day or another enter into a fight and needs to come out alive, has nothing to do with hierarchy/strictness/rules, etc.

Ravi gives you the lowdown on Karate and Kung Fu and advises you to try one or the other. When asked for comment, Raj Thackeray said, “Tumhi Karate, Amhee Marathe; Amchi Mumbai, Tumchi Shanghai“
