Karate will join as new sports for the Tokyo Olympic. Karate is indigenous fighting style. Karate was born in Okinawa in 15th century. It was influenced by Chinese martial arts. The movement that they would want karate to include into the Olympic game has been delayed. The reason is that there was a divisions in the movement around the world, with stalwarts long preferring to adhere to their interpretation rather than to work together to create an global art form.
I think integrating karate into the Olympics has a great meaning. Karate is famous for not only Japan but also all over the world. So I think this movement will be attracted by a lot of people. Olympic is a big event. It has a various faces, such as economics, politics, cultures, and so on. I think sports has a huge power which can connect countries even if the world situation is unstable. So integrating karate, which has long history in Japan, will be an occasion to connect Japan and other countries. In addition, I think tourists will increase for Tokyo Olympic, this will effect to Japanese economy, too.
