Please help us to raise the money for Emarck to represent the Philippines in the ITFU Asian Taekwondo Championships.

Emarck is a hard-working and dedicated student, and we would love the chance for him to be able to attend this special event - we can't think of anyone who deserves it more! Please read below to find out more about who Emarck is, and why this is so important to him. Taekwon! ~ Master Jo Arsol and Ma'am Jenny Lewis

I believe that a leader’s most powerful tool is his example. I cannot tell my students to be brave and pursue excellence if I am not willing to step into the arena myself. My goal is to show the students I lead that "Indomitable Spirit" isn't just a phrase we say—it’s a way we live.

I have spent the last few years building Sinag ITF Union Taekwondo from zero, making significant life decisions to ensure my team has a foundation. I’ve invested every resource I have into my students and our dojang. Now, I have qualified to represent the Philippines at the ITF Asian Championship in Kazakhstan, but this is a mountain I cannot climb alone.

The financial reality of competing on a continental stage—covering international airfare, accomodation and tournament fees—is substantial. I am seeking partners to help bridge this gap.

Your support isn't just funding a trip; it is enabling a teacher to prove to his students that when you commit to a vision and work with integrity, the world will rise to support you.

Help me show my team what is possible. Let’s bring the spirit of Philippines to Kazakhstan.
