Happy 4th of July from I.M.P.A.C.T. Athletes Martial Arts Academy!

As we celebrate today, let us remember all those who have fought, died and suffered to protect our right of freedom and liberty.  Today we commemorate the sacrifices they made for us to benefit from the cause they were all fighting for.  Enjoy this day with your family and friends and take moment to thank our service men and women for all they have done.

Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, barbecues, carnivals, parades, picnics, concerts, family reunions, political speeches and ceremonies, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the national day of the United States.

Philippine Independence Day

On this day, June 12, 1898, let us remember the Filipino revolutionary forces led by General Emilio Aguinaldo, proclaimed it's independence from Spanish colonial rule.  This declaration was not widely recognized by Spain or the United States, as well as many other nations around the world.  The Spanish government finally relinquished the Philippines to the United States in the 1898 Treaty of Paris.

Growing up within the 2nd generation Filipino community in the US, there were many things about our history that were blurred.  The details were either given in vague descriptions or in half truths.  For example: The story of Magellan & Lapu Lapu's historical meeting.  Fortunately, we have so many different avenues of obtaining information about our culture and history.  Through our website, we share as much information as possible as we journey with you through the Filipino Martial Arts.

Due to space limitations, no walk-ins or payments at the door on the day of the event will be taken. Pre-payment can be made at the school or by logging in to the MEMBER STORE.

Payments will be not be processed once limit has been reached. Contact us if any questions.

To ensure your spot, Paid Registration is required.

This workshop is limited to a max of 10 participants only.

In memory of those who gave their lives so that our families can prosper and grow in this great nation, let freedom ring! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
