Both are Korean Karate cousins and contain lots of kicking techniques. Tang Soo Do has more open hand techniques then Tae Kwon Do.
Basically the same except the forms are different.
A brown in TKD and a 1st dan from American TSD and 2nd from USTSD with some 15 years in the Korean styles alone.

Tang soo do is an older more well rounded art, it uses more hand techniques than tae kwon do. The kata are different also.
Tang soo do is in my opinion the better street fighting style, while tae kwon do is for sports.

Tang Soo Do uses more hand techniques
Tae Kwon Do is kicking

tang soo do means "the way of the tang hand" Tae kwon do means "trample on with the legs", but to me there is little difference study both

This is "Chuck Norris's" style of choice
Basically "Tae Kwon Do" with hands,a well rounded style.

I agree with everyone who posted answers on this question. TSD is more hand techniques while TKD emphsizes kicking. (I'm a 1st dan black belt in TKD and I advanced to brown belt in TSD.)
