One of five new sports to be introduced into the Olympics. Doesn't say which "type" of Karate it will be, ATM it seems to be rather generalized. But either way, it seems to be good news.
Remember back in 2010-ish when Tanikawa said that one of FEG's goals moving forward was to have K-1 as an Olympic sport?

Seems to be WKF (i.e. light contact). The WKF was partnering with kyokushin on this effort, so I was hoping for full contact, but it will do. This is the sort of good publicity kakutougi really needed in Japan to get mainstream media on it.
