After a short hiatus, the Iloilo City Taekwondo and Fitness Center by Jojo Castro is back at the international stage.

Eight jins mentored by Castro are finalizing their preparations in the 1st Indomitable Spirit Cup, Argentina Online Open Poomsae Championships.

The last time the JOCAS jins joined an international tournament was December 2020. They are looking to carry over the momentum after clinching seven gold medals during the Venezuela Open World Taekwondo Family tournament.

Travis Gunnar Castro, Eunice Angela Castante, Paul Dominic Callado, Clark Zed Abello, Jayden Drew Fajutrao, Gee Vhon Juby Silla, Margareth Anne Aguana, and Airon Melvin Aguana will not only represent the JOCAS gym but will also carry the banner of Iloilo City and the Philippines.

After conquering the international limelight with massive wins in India, Oregon USA, US Florida, Hong Kong, and Venezuela, the Ilonggo jins are looking to make the same impression in their Argentina stint.
