If you have questions, talk with the coaches. A big thanks to Coach Joey from our TKD team who coordinated with the Philippine TKD Association to host a great meet last Saturday. There were 90+ participants and the kids were treated to a great opening ceremony display from the national TKD demonstration team. We look forward to hosting this event for international schools TKD teams on an annual basis. This Saturday May 4th, our local Judo competition will be held at the MS gym. ISM is the host venue for this event, however, the meets are coordinated and run by the local Judo association. Best of luck to all our ISM martial arts Judo competitors in this upcoming meet.
