In Arivalagan and Kunasilan Makaf trust to get elite squad kicking


Reunion of sorts: L. Kunasilan used to train under P. Arivalagan (inset) when he was the former chief coach from 2004-2011. Now, the two have been entrusted with the task of preparing the national team for the Vietnam SEA Games in Hanoi in May and the Hangzhou Asian Games in September.

PETALING JAYA: The Malaysia Karate Federation (Makaf) will put their hopes on two former Asian Games medallists P. Arivalagan and L. Kunasilan to chart the fortunes of the elite squad.

Makaf, in their executive committee meeting yesterday, made the bold decision to reshuffle the entire coaching line-up of the national kumite team.
