Karate is the crown jewel in Martial Arts

Karate is the crown jewel in Martial Arts. We believe in our tradition and history, maintain a solid personal attitude, obey to our elders and authorities, love our sport and often live a life for Karate. We really care for Karate and we are thankful for what karate provided to us in general. Though WKF failed again for third time to include karate in the Olympics, we Young Karate Innovators - an international group of martial artists - will take care of that and we will design the new era of karate.

There are times of innovation and reflection for every sport. We seriously believe that facemask and body protection is against the ideas and principles of our beloved sport and against our tradition.

YKI knows that many of our elders support this "traditional" view. Karate is centuries of tradition, let us maintain the good parts and innovate where innovation is necessary. We need to rejuvenate our tradition and we need to rejuvenate our leadership in high level in order to come back to where we all belong!

We would ask you kind reader and admirer of Karate to support us with your opinion in three important questions.

Email to W.K.F by Kakha Basilia President of Georgian karate Federation

It has already been clarified that karate will not be included in the year 2020 program of Olympic games and was the third futile experiment from Mr Espinos. 

We were all waiting for Mr. Espinos to apologize and resign, instead of he began to strengthen his position and abrogating the statutes, he was sowing their illegal actions. The big mistake was to relieve the General Secretary from his position. The programme of Mr Espinos was, when he became president, to make karate an Olympic sport but instead of that the WKF became corrupted and a democratic locked organization,where only the largest countries have rights and smaller countries go out over the role of statistics. Instead of bringing money and development to the WKF, he made WKF,as a business, only a face mask, where no one would not be able to guarantee the criterion, and on the contrary, be dangerous for sportsman in spite of the demands of all countries to abolish, he would continue his business.

The authorized advertising agency which was to carry out the campaign could not attract criticism, it was only the “K” which did not exit the karate hall. Every mistake, which Mr.Espinos made during his governance, we cannot enumerate, but we forgive him for everything because he promised that karate will be in the Olympic games. 

Mr Espinos, karate could not gain entrance to the Olympic Games. We appeal to you if you have any dignity and are interested in the future of karate, resign and provide the opportunity for karate to develope. I consent to this letter being sent to the national federation of 30 countries, for your personal interest I can provide you with a list. P.S.When the world wrestling association was removed from the olympic family all federation presidents agreed and removed Raphael Martinetti the wrestling president from this position despite his being at the head for 20 years. The wrestlers solved their problems and within 2 months returned to the olympics. 

I as a family of world karate back to you Mr Espinos, I want to ask you please retire now!
