I think everyday I'm always picking another style. That the problem with continually learning and growing. There is always some facinating art , technique or philosophy just around the corner of life.

I was thinking: both linear striking arts, both (done realistically, which is maybe the catch) use mostly hand techniques with mid-low kicks as set-ups. As vs. TKD and Aikido, say. But if you're talking about WTF TKD, then yeah, a world of difference there. What I like about kenpo is the emphasis on flow and the rapid-barrage style of striking.
My TKD background is Moo Duk Kwon mixed with WTF Chang Moo Kwan and a little Moo Duk Kwon-Jits from my Yasashii Do GM. The similarities of TKD vs. Kenpo as striking arts end with saying they're both striking arts. Totally different approach to when, how, and where you deliver strikes, as well as methods of exposing and exploiting target opportunities.
