The 2023 Inaugural Grandmaster Toby Cooling Memorial Tournament is in the books! Thank you to all who attended and congratulations to all the competitors. We hope to see you all again at the next Tournament.
Hosted by The Order of Isshin-Ryu
This tournament will be the first of its kind hosted by the Order of Isshin-Ryu (OI). Its purpose is to celebrate the life of Grandmaster Cooling and to bring together Isshin-Ryu practitioners from all over just as he brought us together in the OI Family. All proceeds will benefit the OIMA Scholarship fund, which provides assistance to members seeking further education and opportunities inside and outside of the dojo. A detailed schedule of events is forthcoming, but the weekend will include seminars by masters and grandmasters of Isshin-Ryu, an open Isshin-Ryu tournament with many special competition divisions, and a unique award for all Grand Champions!
American Isshinryu members can earn event points at this event!
