5th WGKF CHAMPIONSHIP

2019

“A trophy carries dust, Memories last forever”

Mr.HUMBERTO NUNO DE OLIVEIRA

President of the

WORLD GOJU-RYU KARATE FEDERATION

Dear Goju friends from all over the world,

It is with great expectation and enthusiasm for our coming 5th WGKF Championship

that I write these words.

For those of you who have never visited Malaysia I can assure you that it will be an

unforgettable experience, since our Asian friends usually offer us quite impressive

events.

I invite you all to come to Kuala Lumpur next September, and bring more and more

neighbour countries and to deepen this unique project, in a championship that joins

all the lines of our style, making this the true absolute championship in Goju-ryu.

At a time of great challenges to our art world-wide, it is increasingly our duty and

obligation to intransigently defend Master Miyagi's legacy. The art does not exist

without its styles, denying it is betraying the legacy of generations and making the art

one aseptic entity whose standards we do not know.

I think no other Federation is completely open to others as ours and that gives us

legitimacy and a role no one can deny.

The art born in Okinawa has nothing to do with politics but, unhappily, it is increasingly

being pushed into these swamps. It is our task to prevent Goju-ryu of being dragged

into these murky waters.

I have absolute confidence in you, my Goju friends all over the world to help us

surpass these troubled waters and to make our beloved Goju-ryu great, which is just

what we want, leaving politics and murky waters to others interested in that issue.

I hope to see you soon and strong in Kuala Lumpur, for an unforgettable experience

and superb Championship.

Yours in Goju

Humberto Nuno de Oliveira

ASIAN GOJU-RYU KARATE FEDERATION

Asian Goju Ryu Karate-Do Federation (AGKF) was founded in 2005 and next year

we are celebrating our 15th Anniversary in Nepal during the 7th AGKF

Since the formation of AGKF, we are staying true to our vision to promote,

organize, regulate and popularize Goju Ryu karate-do in Asia. With the humble

start of 8 countries in 2005, we now have 22 countries since 2018.

It gives me great pleasure to announce the 5th WGKF Championship will be held

in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 16 to 22 Sept 2019 organized by Sensei Kumareson

Muniandy, President of Dragon Goju Ryu Karate Federation.

The objective is to promote Goju Ryu Karate and provide opportunities for the

student of all ages to have access to Goju Ryu International Competition.

I am sure the Championship will be a great success. I am also hopeful that all

participants will leave the beautiful city with fond memories and excellent

performance. Please convey my sincere greetings to all participants for achieving

a greater height and my best wishes and heartiest felicitation to the Organizing

Committee for the grand success of the Championship.

Many visitors do not need a visa to visit Malaysia and are exempt when

visiting for holidays or social purposes, however it is really important to check

before travelling.

If you are not exempt and do require a visa you will need to get this from your

home country before travelling, unless your nationality is offered a visa on

arrival, but the Malaysian High Commission, Embassy, Consulate local to

where you live will be able to fully advise you on the current requirements.

Do not rely on Trip Advisor for the most up to date information. If you require

a visa then you must apply before you travel, Malaysia does not offer Visas

on Arrival for those that require them.

On arrival if you are from one of the countries that are exempt from requiring

a visa you will receive a permit to stay for a defined period depending on

your nationality.

Regardless of if you require a visa or are exempt, do remember that you need

to have a passport that is valid for 6 months after your departure date, so if

you arrive


2019


on the 1st of the month and leave on the 30th of the month, the passport

should be valid for 6 months from the 30th of the month. If you passport is not

fully valid your airline may not allow you to board and the immigration

authority will not permit you to land in Malaysia.

There are no longer arrival cards to complete. The immigration officer will

issue a permit to stay depending on your passport / nationality after taking

your fingerprint.

Air Asia or if you wish to transfer within KUL airport from the terminal at KLIA1

to the terminal at KLIA2. You must get your visa before you travel and it must

be valid for the whole time that you are planning to stay in Malaysia. The

immigration authority will not permit you to land in Malaysia if you do not

have a visa before you travel. You can find out if you need a visa

at Malaysia visa requirements. Note that Visa should only be obtained from

the nearest Malaysian Embassy or consulate to you.

Those who require a visa to stay include:

- Bangladesh

- China

- India

- Pakistan

- Sri Lanka

- Myanmar / Burma

- Eritrea

Malaysia only offers Visas on Arrival to a very few nationalities and then under

very specific conditions. A Visa on Arrival (VOA) is offered to some passport

holders travelling to Malaysia.

You can check if you need a visa or apply on line.

For those that do not meet these specific conditions will require a visa

or meet the criteria and conditions for a Transit without a visa [TWOV]. Even

a stay of 1 or 2 hours when changing aircraft when crossing immigration
