Hyderabadi karateka Syeda Falak has made the city proud yet again, this time through profitable gold in the senior feminine Kumite (open) category at the recently-concluded 4th International Karate Championship-2018 held in Kathmandu, Nepal. What’s more, Falak was also
adjudged the Best Female Fighter of the match which had individuals from Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
She was, confessedly, the centre of the appeal on the match. “Even the Nepali crowd, which was to begin with cheering for my rival Sunita Shreshtha from Nepal, began to reinforce me after seeing my robust punches,” says Falak, with a grin.
The 23-year-old was the only real consultant from Telangana in the 60-member Indian contingent. This is her 19th international medal, and the primary international gold this year.
Overjoyed about achieving the feat, Falak dedicates the win to her mother, Amena Majaz as her Mother’s Day present. “My parents at all times
accompany me to all my tournaments. But this time, my mother couldn’t come… I really ignored her there. I need to devote this medal to her and need to thank my father Syed Shah Majaz Ul Haq for his reinforce.”
She provides that it was her elder sister Syeda Ayman who had impressed her to take the game critically. “I at all times seemed as much as my sister. I used to look ahead to her to return from her practise matches. Back then, I used to be a plump little girl. Watching my sister, I too
determined to take the game critically, each for self-defence and fitness. I tasted preliminary luck at inter-school competitions, and soon, went on to clinch the Best Fighter title on the Indo-Sri Lanka Karate Tournament in 2012, I by no means seemed again ever since.”
Thanking her coach, Altaf Alam from Chennai for his mentorship and steering all through the past 5 years, Falak says, “Alam Sir taught me many talents and innovative tactics, and helped me change into a tricky fighter.”
Falak may be satisfied that karate is in spite of everything getting its due in India. “I used to be probably the most first feminine karate gamers once I began collaborating in tournaments. But now, I see lot of kids and children taking the game very critically. It’s an out of this world game, and unlike judo or taekwondo, it allows one to use all of the frame portions,” she says, signing off.
