Nippon Budokan
Alongside the Yoyogi National Gymnasium, the mecca of judo is arguably the most iconic of the Tokyo 2020 venues. Originally built to house martial arts events, the Budokan introduced judo to the Olympic programme in 1964 and will red-carpet another new sport to the Games this summer - karate. Fun fact: The Beatles became the first rock band to perform at the Budokan in 1966.
What is the competition format?
Two karate disciplines will be featured in Tokyo. Kumite is the sparring discipline and will have three weight classes each for men and women (60 athletes) and Kata is the solo form discipline, and will have one event each for men and women (20 athletes). In both, there are elimination rounds, ranking rounds and medal bouts.
