The Tong-Il Moo-Do Trece Martires Chapter, under the Cavite Family Church, carried out its weekly training sessions during August and September 2026. On August 22, fifteen practitioners gathered for training, demonstrating strong commitment and enthusiasm. However, the session on August 29 was canceled due to the heavy rains brought by the Habagat, which made it unsafe to proceed. Training resumed on September 5 with seven practitioners. The report for September 12 was not submitted, leaving a gap in documentation for that week.

Aside from the training under the Trece Club, more sessions are conducted at New Generation International School (NGIS), Trece Martires City, focusing on the Multiple Intelligences program. This initiative is already integrated into the curriculum for Elementary and Junior High School levels and is likewise handled by instructors under the Cavite Family Church. These trainings expand the reach of Tong-Il Moo-Do, ensuring that the discipline of body and spirit is instilled in younger generations as part of their holistic education.

Reflecting on these events, it becomes clear that Tong-Il Moo-Do is more than just a martial art. It is a channel for outreach, a discipline of body and spirit, and a way to live for the sake of others. Each training session, whether attended by many or few, contributes to the growth of individuals who embody respect, perseverance, and harmony. The challenges faced—such as weather interruptions—serve as reminders that true discipline is tested not only in moments of strength but also in times of difficulty.

Beyond the weekly trainings under the Trece Club, the program expands its reach through the Multiple Intelligences curriculum at NGIS, which is already integrated into the Elementary and Junior High School levels. This initiative ensures that the values of Tong-Il Moo-Do are instilled in younger generations as part of their holistic education, these sessions enrich the students’ learning experience by combining physical discipline with intellectual and spiritual growth.
