A martial arts team has blown away the competition at its first ever championships, taking home almost every medal going.

All of the nine Korean martial art students from Kuk Sool Won Glasgow School won a prize at the Scottish Championships in Inverness.

That was despite the fact some of the team have only been learning the discipline for a few weeks.

They scooped an impressive 25 medals out of a possible 32 and cheered their instructor, Scott McLaughlin, on to win the sport's top accolade.

As well as bagging seven medals, Scott was awarded his third Grand Champion Title.

Scott kept the celebration in the family as his wife Claire, 25, was one of his winning students.

Scott, 26, from Paisley said: "My main focus was getting the students ready, I didn't expect to do so well. But I could hear their cheers through the crowd, that was an unbelievable experience.

"I was ecstatic seeing all of my students winning a medal. They've put a lot of work into this. Two of them have only had five weeks' training but they took to it like a duck to water."

The adult martial arts classes have been running since last February at the Palace of Art in Bellahouston Park.

Scott is now set on taking his proteges to the British Championships in Birmingham in November.

Then he hopes they can compete in the World Championships in Houston, Texas, next year.

He's also looking for young recruits aged six and over for a new kids class starting in August.
