My main hobby is performing the Korean martial art Taekwondo. I am a 3rd Dan degree black belt and have been appointed the instructor of the SMHI-IF self-defence club since November 2012. I have been also acting as the instructor for SMHI’s boxing club since January 2015. In addition, I had been appointed as the team captain and assistant instructor at Imperial College Union Taekwondo Club (2006-2009) and Victoria University of Wellington Taekwondo Club (2009-2011).
Other interests include Aikido, Kung Fu, boxing, football, volleyball, swimming, squash, running, basketball, table tennis salsa and Greek traditional dancing. Finally, I have been studying traditional Greek Byzantine music between 2006 and 2009.
