The Star on the 29th National Senior Karate Championships
Vasantha downs Maalini to earn shot at third Asian title
By LIM TEIK HUAT
PETALING JAYA: Karate mum Vasantha Marial has won a place in the Malaysian squad for the Asian Championships in China next month after a successful campaign in the national championships held over the last weekend.
In the competition in Ayer Keroh, the mother of a six-month-old girl regained the kumite below 50kg title by beating fellow Hayashi Ha exponent C. Maalini 4-1 in the final.
The victory over the younger Maalini, who is the Asian junior champion, was satisfying indeed for Vasantha, who only resumed training four months ago. Vasantha got married in March last year and stopped training after she got pregnant.
The 30-year-old exponent is now looking forward to making a strong bid to win a third successive gold in the Asian championships.
She made a successful comeback from knee surgery to win the title in 2005 and retained it two years later.
“I am happy to earn another shot at winning the Asian championship below 50kg kumite title,” said Vasantha, who missed last year’s national championships because of the pregnancy.
“By winning my seventh national title, I have proved that I can still contribute to the squad. This was only my second competition after the KOI World Cup in Kuching last month (where she won silver). I’m more satisfied as I think I fought better in the national championships.”
Elsewhere, there were no surprises with the elite national fighters dominating in their respective weight categories.
Hayashi Ha finished top in the overall standings with a medal haul of 9-1-6 while Penang’s Goshin Ryu rode on the strength of their national kata exponents for second place on 4-1-0.

History and Background
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.
