Armed vs Unarmed Melee combat

[The Dark]

Something I just noticed - as a former (low-level) practitioner of both, I'm not certain I'd have Karate have a higher kick modifier than Tae Kwon Do. TKD has more of an emphasis on swift and high kicks, with a narrow stance to increase speed, while karate tends to use a wider stance to emphasize stability and more of a balance between hand and foot strikes.
