IMAC 2021 August 28, 2021

Dear Grand Masters, Masters, Instructors and Competitors,

I invite you to attend our 7th Annual Indiana Center (IMAC) Tournament. The tournament will be held on Saturday August 28th, 2021 at the Noblesville Boys and Girls

Club located at 150 N 17th St, Noblesville, IN 46060.

The event will span across three full basketball courts to allow plenty of room for spectators, competitors, and staging. All rings will be 7x7 squares (21’x21’) to allow for optimal space during forms, weapons, breaking and . All matches are Junior Safety Rules and my wish is for this to be a great event for even your students who may not have competed before. Safety will be our number one priority for all competitors. You will find this tournament to be a fun, exciting and competitive tournament that your students will want to come back to year after year.

We will once again use Quick2Stage electronic staging software to cut down the time for staging the events.

Do not forget, we have a Pre-School sparring/breaking division for kids 4 and under. All participants receive a 1st place medal, and the cost is only $25 per competitor!

I look forward to seeing all of you on August 28th, 2021. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at (317) 606-2191 or email me at [email protected].

Thank you for your support!

**Please note the competition start time has been changed from 10:00am to 9:00am.

Sincerely,

Jerry Isenhower
