Within the first day of competition both Storm and Raider took the Black Belt Synchronised Forms title.
after the 3 days of hard competition both raider and storm had taken GOLD in all there events and also got through the preliminaries for the individual World Title grand Championships.
Both members were shattered by the time the evening show of the grand finals took place, but once again both of them entertained the large audience with fantastic forms and weapons display that captured them more World Titles in process.
