Bruce Flanagan, one of Kyle Matheson’s students from Aberdeen took time out from work and studies to travel across the east. Bruce visited Korea where he was met by GM Kong and local students, he then got some valuable instruction from one of the original 12 founding members of TKD. Taekwon-do UK would like to thank GM Kong for taking time out from his busy schedule to meet one of our white belt students and spend time with him and ensure his well being in Korea.
