S-Factor Competition Success	3:26 PM, May 22 2008
In Sung Kwan took a team of 10 competitors along to the Ashiita-Kai hosted S-Factor Spring competition at Polkythe Leisure Centre in St Austell. Many of the better known clubs were present representing themselves and their martial arts. By the time the tiring and very hot day came to an end, we were proud to be walking away with a total of 18 trophies and medals! Everyone represented the club in a manner befitting our Moo Do heritage and ethos, and we're especially proud of our first junior competitors who gave some brilliant performances.
