hey blogger this is my Olympic stuff Karate is a martial art that originated in Okinawa during the Ryukyu Dynasty period. It spread throughout Japan during the 1920s and then worldwide following World War II. It is predominantly a striking, kicking and punching art. A karate practitioner is called a karateka.
Karate's quest to secure a place on the Olympic programme dates back to the 1970s.
Kia ora Tasman,
