December is a special time at IMA, especially our annual international holiday pot luck party! All are welcome to participate and bring family if you choose. We are blessed to have a diverse group of families at IMA. We ask that you would prepare a dish to share that represents your cultural background, but this is not required. The dish can be a main course, side dish, or dessert.

We will have games for the kids, and it’s a great time for the parents to mingle and share time together. There is a sign up sheet on the table  in the studio where you can sign up and let us know how many people will be attending and what food you plan to bring.

Date and time: Tuesday, December 16, 2025, 6:30 – 8:00 pm

Where: Hope Baptist Church, 8801 Stephens Road, Laurel, MD, 20723

Please enter through the back of the church on the lower level

This is a free and fun event that we have every December. There is a sign up sheet on the table in the studio. Please sign up soon and list your belt rank. The way this works is that each student will be assigned to a team. Each team will consist of beginner, intermediate, and advanced belt students. Black belts are also welcome to participate. Each team will compete with all of the other teams. The team with the most “wins” will be first place, second most “wins” second place, etc. 

Date and time: Thursday, December 18th, 6:30 pm – approximately 8:00 pm

Location: at IMA
