New Summer Schedule: With the growth of the Jr. and teen programs, along the adoption of Scott Symons' Family Martial Arts kids program, IMS is expanding it's  schedule. Also, Open gym and Spartan Fitness classes have been added. Check schedule page.

The California State Athletic Commision threatened to cancel all Pankration events in April, but after massive protest, they reversed themselves within 24 hours. See the details on the notice board at the gym.

Tough times for all: With current economic realities, IMS understands that to choose the extracurricular activity of training is these days is difficult, and is most gratefull.

Good luck to us all.
