Kristian Kinnon Talks Taekwondo - 'A Way of Life'

Kristian was hard at work in Graphic Communication when we interrupted him and asked him to answer few questions about Taekwondo. Kristian came out of class with a smile on his face and seemed happy to talk to us about his sport.  Once we finished with the introductions we got on with the questions.
