That happens less often now than in the 70s & 80s. More often now it's "martial arts" or "Taekwondo". Things have changed since the 1988 Olympics. And even more have changed since MMA has become popular & many MMA fans have come to view tradition MA of any sort as "less than" BJJ or "MMA."

I'd be willing to bet that, since the popularity of TKD in the 80s & 90s, that your Art has been called TKD by unknowing folks more than a time or two.

When sparring TKD fight standing tall while in Karate they prefer a lower stance. Karate Kia TKD don't shout...
