He decided to create the new Pan-Am Tang Soo Do Federation for unity, All the members of this Federation will be treated equally, with respect, honesty, loyalty, and courtesy. The most important part of our Federation is that all will receive direct guidance from Grand Master Chong Su Kim. No matter what question you might have, Grand Master Kim and the Federation are here to help you and to promote the one of a kind Pan-Am Tang Soo Do Federation.
