Lately, we have had visitors from out of town. Weekly we have had the pleasure of welcoming the students of KMAC-San Ramon. Thank you for your support and acknowledging that Manila TKD, Union City is the happening place to practice.
A special thanks to Master Maxwell of Victory TKD (Seattle, WA) who was in the house with his kids this past weekend. Together with Victory TKD, we competed at the just recentlyheld 2008 Silicon Valley Open in San Jose, CA.

'08 Silicon Valley Open
Just got back from the SVO this past weekend. Not surprised at all that most of the competitors are from Choi's or Choi's affiliated schools. Didn't really see a lot of the Bay Area Fighting Schools, except for us (Manila), Robinson's, Sky and GST.
Anyway, Yazzy, Nico and Leo fought this weekend. We had 3 fighters but had over 20+ supporters there. We had Victory TKD of Seattle with us. Yazzy got Silver and Nico got Bronze. Leo fought extremely well considering he had to fight someone who was 50 lbs bigger and about 8 inches taller. Great Job, Yoshida!
It was kinda nice to go to a tournament again, after the long break we had! We'll keep you updated o the next tournament we are going to attend. With the recent downtrend in the economy, we're going to have to be choosy what tourney we're going to.......
