S-Factor Competition Success
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.

ISK Grading Success - 9th March 2008
Tremough's University Campus played host to the first In Sung Kwan grading of 2008, seeing fifteen students testing everything they'd worked so hard for since the last time.

On the day every student was successful in their grading, continuing the high standards and training ethic instilled by their instructors. Congratulations everyone!

Blowing Out The Cobwebs
Once again In Sung Kwan joined their friends from GTI Taekwondo over the Christmas break for the annual beach training event. There was a great turn out, and plenty of brave souls daring the cold beach (and water!). Our thanks to Mr Broderick again for the invite, and we look forward to next year.

S-Factor World Championship Round-Up
In Sung Kwan took its competition team, the Viper Squad, up to Kent this past weekend to compete at the S-Factor World Championships. The five-strong team had a great time and learned a lot about competition at that level. We're pleased to be able to say that our very own Master James took third place in the "Mens over 5'8 semi-contact sparring" finals, and the rest who fought have a lot to take away with them to work on for next time.

  Well done to Mr james and Justin Duncan who both ran the Berlin Half-Marathon on the 2nd of April. They flew out to Berlin on the 30th March, and after registering to pick up their running gear completed the 21KM course in 2H 30M.
