Master Michael Andrews From Brazil Visits Kim's Karate

Master Michael Andrews who is interested in joining the Pan-Am Tang Soo Do Federation, traveled to America from Brazil to meet with Grandmaster Kim. He showed great dedication when Grandmaster Kim got an unexpected phone call from Master Andrews saying "I'm at the bus station in York", without ever telling anyone he was coming. He is the kind of outgoing and disciplined person that Kim's Karate would be proud to have as part of the Pan-Am Tang Soo Do Federation!
