Foreign and Diaspora Affairs Cabinet Secretary (CS) Dr. Alfred Mutua has excited Kenyans online after posting a video and photos of himself partaking in a martial arts demonstration at the World Headquarters of Taekwondo in Seoul, South Korea.

Mutua had travelled to the Yoon Suk Yeol-led nation on an official State visit earlier this week to hold bilateral discussions with his South Korean counterpart Park Jin.

In a series of tweets on Saturday, the CS posted a video and pictures of himself, clad in a dobok, practicing kicking and punching techniques as Jin and other practitioners of the martial arts discipline looked on.

The CS, who is surprisingly nimble, was made an honorary 6th Dan Black Belt.

"It was fun to participate in a few polite Taekwondo demonstrations at the home of the art. Thank you the great people of Korea for this gift to the world," said Mutua.

In subsequent tweets, Mutua revealed that he was once a practitioner of the self defense discipline before jumping ship to Temple Kung Fu.

He is however looking to make a comeback to the martial arts discipline in future.

"In my late teens and early 20’s I practiced Taekwondo before picking up Temple Kungfu. I need to get back to the sport. I’m getting rusty," said the CS.  

"As they say, like father like son, I am proud of the fact that my 1st born son, 2 weeks ago, qualified as a black belt holder in Taekwondo."
