Para-karate refers to a form of karate in which competition rules have been established in order to accommodate fair competition between athletes with disabilities. Para-karate is focused on developing the ancient discipline of "kata" for wheelchair athletes, visually impaired athletes and mentally handicapped athletes.
In 2006, the World Karate Federation created the Para-Karate Commission in an effort to develop and promote Karate for athletes of all disabilities.
Since then, Para-Karate is a fully integrated part of the operations of the World Karate Federation. In 2015, the World Karate Federation became an IF recognized by the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), thus reflecting the federation's progress and continued work in the development of Para-Karate. In 2012, Para-Karate was presented to the public for the first time at the World Championships in Paris in a demonstration competition. 2014 and 2016 followed the official Para-Karate World Championship in Bremen (Germany) and Linz (Austria). Participation in the championships has been growing steadily ever since. 2018 will be a glorious year for the growing community of Para-Karate Athletes since the first European Para-Karate Championships in Novi Sad (Serbia) and the World Championships in Madrid (Spain) will be real milestones in the development of the sport. modality.
