We want to receive statements that help Karate become an Olympic sport.

Throughout the World Karate is thought of as an Olympic sport, however it is not one. Karate fulfils all the sport specifications required for sports to become Olympic. The International Olympic Committee acknowledges Karate is a first level sport and the federations integrated in the WKF (World Karate Federation) as a major axis in the sport, but it has not yet made the decision to include Karate in the Olympic programme.

From the WKF we want to prove to the IOC that the introduction of Karate in the Olympic Games would contribute to encourage the Olympic Spirit throughout the World.

Olympic Karate will allow a further dissemination of the sport in society. The dissemination of Karate will increase awareness in all layers of society, regarding values such as the respect for others, personal balance –both physical and mental–, control of our strength and perseverance to overcome difficulties. It is an easy and simple sport, and its popularity among children make it one of the sports with a brightest future and that can contribute most benefits to society.

We want to be Olympic so lots of people can benefit from all the things that the people who already practice the sport already have. We owe it to society, we owe it to the sport, we owe it to Karate.

Olympic Karate, now..
