Karate debuts Olympics

Summary
Karate is going to be added in the Olympic games for the 2020 Tokyo, with skateboarding, climbing and baseball-softball. Karate was born in Okinawa in the 15th century. It is influenced by Chinese martial arts. Judo and taekwondo are already included in Olympic games , but karate hasn’t. So it struggled to make the case for inclusion. The reason why karate has been delayed into Olympic games is 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.
Opinion
I agree with including karate into Olympic because judo and taekwondo are already added. Japanese and Korean martial art is official sport of Olympic why not karate? Karate has own world championship like judo and taekwondo. I think it is not problem for Okinawa martial art in Olympic.
