    Rohai Dojo invites you to help bring the spirit and excitement of IATC to West Coast members of the Cuong Nhu family - many of whom cannot travel to Raleigh for IATC on Memorial Day Weekend.

    • Train with high-ranking instructors from across the U.S.:
      • Master Mike Ponzio, 7th Dan, from South Carolina
      • Master Donald Williams, 6th Dan, from Florida
      • Master Jessica Ngo, 6th Dan, from Florida
      • Sensei Tony Kay, 5th Dan, from Washington state
      • Senseis Russ Eggleston and Victoria Johnson, 4th dans from San Diego, CA
    • Deepen your understanding of the Cuong Nhu curriculum.
    • Get a taste of some special martial arts topics you might not see in your regular classes - including weapons, throwing techniques, advanced katas, and more.

    WCTC is designed with all ages and ranks in mind. We especially encourage west coast kids (6 & up) and teens to take part. For those who can't travel cross-country to attend Cuong Nhu's international training camp - we're bringing it to you!

    Out-of-town visitors: We treasure your participation, and sincerely hope you'll be able to attend! We've secured a block of rooms at our favorite hotel, at a rate that's even lower than last year. Besides a free airport shuttle, it offers a spacious lobby and bar area for socializing. We look forward to seeing you there! Here's the reservation link: WCTC Courtyard Oakland Airport

    Travel tip: Your first choice is to fly to Oakland International Airport. Our hotel provides a free shuttle from OAK. However, San Francisco airport is only 30 to 45 minutes away by car or BART (no free shuttle to the hotel, but it's a very short cab/uber/lyft ride from the Coliseum BART station to the hotel).

    Parents: If you're wondering whether your kids can last through a 9 to 5 day of training... they can. Our instructors are highly skilled and experienced at working with children. The schedule includes appropriate activities, break time, and skillful supervision. You can drop your kids off at the gym and leave with confidence - or you are welcome to stay and watch for all or part of the day!

    Each training session offers options for different ranks and ages. All attendees are invited to dine with our out-of-town guests on both Friday and Saturday. Get to know each other and socialize!

    We look forward to seeing you at the end of September!
