IMAC 2019 August 24, 2019

Dear Grand Masters, Masters, Instructors and Competitors,

th I invite you to attend our 5 Annual Indiana Center (IMAC) Tournament. The tournament will be held on Saturday August 24th, 2019 at the Noblesville Boys and Girls

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

The event will span across two side by side 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’ll find this tournament to be a fun, exciting and competitive tournament that your students will want to come back to year after year.

Last year we used Quick2Stage electronic staging software to cut down the time for staging the events. This allowed us to cut over an hour off the normal tournament time.

Don’t forget, we have a Pre‐School sparring division. All participants receive a 1st place medal and the cost is only $15 per competitor!

There will be a special Team Forms/Demonstration Event. This is a great opportunity for your school to put together a team demonstration to “show off” your school. Music and props are allowed and you may enter as many teams as you’d like. Pricing has been set low

to encourage participation.

I look forward to seeing all of you on August 24th, 2019. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call me at (317) 606‐2191 or email me at [email protected]. And thank you for your support!

Sincerely,

Jerry Isenhower

Indiana Martial Arts Center
