Karate Training at ILP, Permyjaya

Update 4
IT IS CONFIRMED!  We start training on 1st June at ILP, Dewan InTrim. See you there.

Update 3
If all goes as planned, we will start training on 1st June at ILP, Dewan InTrim. See you there, if you're not too busy with Gawai ngabang and merrymaking, that is. :) Selamat Gawai, Gayu Guru Gerai Nyamai!

I'll still train!

Update 2
We are now planning for first start after the Gawai holidays, most likely 8th June. We will confirm with another update.

Update 1
18 May start date is not possible, so training is still at KRP until we can finalise our new start date.   We will keep you updated.

--Good news!  We've been granted permission to train at ILP, Permyjaya.

This is in part to expose ILP students to Karate, which will form part of their Co-Curriculur activities in the coming semester onwards; and also provides us an avenue to open enrollment to the adult segment of Miri's general public compared to our previous venue which was more for members only.

Training sessions for Adults on Mondays and Thursdays 730 to 900pm will commence tentatively from 18th May onwards.

We will also move, on a trial basis, the Senior's sessions (13 to 23 years) on Wednesdays 730 to 900pm from KRP to ILP as well.

Training will be conducted at the Dewan InTrim of ILP.

Final arrangements are being made to confirm our ability to start on the 18th May and we will keep you informed of any changes to start dates.

If you are interested or want more information, please contact us at goshinmiri@gmail.com or call 016-879 1969, Mr. Chong.

History and Background

The Malaysia Goshin-Ryu Karate Federation (MGKF), established in April 1974, is a member of the Malaysia Karate-Do Federation (MAKAF) and currently is one of the most successful karate-do federations in Malaysia. The current head of the MGKF is Grandmaster Soke Clement Soo, who is also the founder of the MGKF.

Goshin-ryu style of Karate was founded by Soke Clement Soo in 1974. This style of Karate is quite similar to Shotokan style but emphasizes more on thrust and penetrating kicks, shorter forward stance and more side stepping movements. Although Goshin-ryu is consider a young style but since the inception it has spread to Australia, India, Kuwait, Switzerland and Germany.

Our style is very simple, which adopts whatever good techniques and should the techniques require changes or modifications, we shall do it. The Federation was officially accepted by Soke Terou Hayashi in 1976. Hayashi is a well known karateka in the world and was the first Referee Council Chairman of WUKO. He is aware of Goshin-ryu as a style of its own and never insisted that Soke Clement Soo change to Hayashi-ha Shito-ryu. Our students practice Shoto-kan, Hayashi-ha Shito-ryu and Goju-ryu Katas meaning that we must be able to adapt to the various different stances.

Our yearly activities are organising tournaments in school, state and national levels both in the Junior and Senior Annual Camp in Taiping includes training in basic techniques, kumite, katas, referee clinic, leadership and tournament. We also participate in the MAKAF's National Junior and Senior Championships.

In Malaysia, Goshin-ryu has dojos in Kuala Lumpur, Petaling, Klang, Jenjarom, Yong Peng, Batu Pahat, Parit Raja, College University of Technology Tun Hussein Onn, Permas Jaya, Skudai, Johor Bahru Polytechnic, Kota Bharu Polytechnic, Seberang Perai Polytechnic, Kluang, Ipoh, Taiping, Penang, Sungai Petani, Kota Baru, Pasir Mas, Rantau Panjang, Kerteh, Kuala Terengganu, Seremban and Miri. Our biggest concentration in promoting the art with about 35 dojos is in Penang. We are proud to say that the activity is so intense that we have to form a Black Belters Club for the operations.

At the heart of our instruction is the Introduction to Karate Program which has established itself as the standard for classical martial art instruction. The program features outstanding workouts which are both exciting and beneficial in a sporting recreational environment. The only magic that we practice is that of hard work and discipline.
