Very nice interview from our buddy down under - Colin Wee. This interview touches on the history of taekwando, its interactions with Shotokan and tangsoodo, and Colin's experiences in aikijutsu and trying to figure out how the aiki and TKD pieces fit together. Colin's got a good bit of experience and knowledge from sorta going his own way in teaching TKD and we can learn a lot about syllabus construction and teaching methods from interviews like this. Thanks, Colin.
