TAO INNER SCHOOL TOURNAMENT



Boothbay Harbor ME By R.J. Bishop


The Boothbay YMCA was the site for the 1st Annual TAO Inner School Tournament. Over 60 competitors from the different TAO Martial Arts Centers throughout Maine competed. This tournament featured over 50 divisions, including Forms, Fighting, Weapons, Self Defense, and Musical Forms. The TAO Inner School Tournament was a fund raiser to support "TEAM TAO" , the school competition team.

Shihan Jeff Wood and Team Coach Sensei Bob Dupuis were very please with the turn out, and want to thank the Boothbay YMCA for donating the use of their gymnasium, and to the competitors and spectators that attended. Plans for the "2001" TAO Inner School Tournament are in the works now.
