MORAY MARTIAL ARTS SUCCESS AT BRITISH CHAMPIONSHIPS

Martial artists from Forres and the surrounding area formed a significant part of the Scotland Tang Soo Do Karate Team that swept the trophy board at the 2009 UK Tang Soo Do Championships held in Cambridgeshire this month.

The local students, who where coached by De-Vry Korean Martial Arts Academy Master Instructor Warren De-Vry, returned with a haul of 44 medals including an impressive 23 Golds and 2 Grand Champion Cups. The two Grand Champion Cup winners were DKMA's Dominique Sutherland who swept the board in her divisions winning all six disciplines and Lossiemouth Tang Soo Do's Mark Gallie who won four of his chosen disciplines' and a bronze in a fifth.

Master Warren said "This is a terrific result for Scotland but it is deserved as the level of training and focus on this year's competitions by the students has been incredible and we are all very proud of them. I believe we will maintain this exceptional performance in our preparation for the European Championships to be held in London next April and I look forward to a big Team Scotland result at this event."
