NEW YORK, April 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Karate Combat announced today the launch of a new professional combat sports league, bringing the martial art of Karate into the future. The fighting is full contact, with rules developed by martial arts experts. Karate Combat viewers can access content through the World's Gateway to Karate, KARATE.com, as well as branded iOS and Android apps.
Karate Combat has signed over 100 of the top Karatekas from 30 countries including Elhadji Ndour of the USA, Achraf Ouchen of Morocco, Dionicio Gustavo of Dominican Republic, Davy Dona of France, George Tzanos of Greece, and Rafael Aghayev of Azerbaijan.
Karate Combat: Genesis, the company's pre-season event, took place in Budapest in February, and all bouts are now available to view on demand.

"Karate is back! Approximately 50 million Americans have participated in Karate at some point in their lives with an even greater worldwide following, yet no professional league exists," said Michael DePietro, CEO of Karate Combat.
