The leaders of Irish Taekwon-Do Association came up with an interesting idea to carry out the interviews with all the Masters in Ireland.
Stephen Ryan, Secretary General of Irish Taekwon-Do Association said
"Our plan is that we will publish one interview per month from masters, instructors, coaches and competitors in our group. The idea is that we will be able to get an insight into their background and history in Taekwon-Do, their experiences in their training, their memories of Taekwon-Do througout the years in Ireland, their experiences in the ITF at events such as championships, IICs etc, their goals for the future. We feel that this will be an interesting and worthwhile project and we wish to share it with the wider ITF community through the AETF website. The interviews will be conducted by ITA PR officers Mr. Carl Smullen III Dan and Mr. Philip McAuliffe II Dan".
One of the first people interviewed was Master Kenneth Wheatley, 7th Degree, President of ITA.
