Atlantic-Pacific Tang Soo Do Federation
Mexico City Clinic

On November 19, 2007, Senior Master Antonio Rivera, the Chairman of the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) for the Atlantic Pacific Tang Soo Do Federation, was dispatched by Kwan Jang Nim J. John St. James for the Federation's first ever delegation trip to Mexico.

Master Rivera arrived at the International Airport in Mexico City and was met by Professor Omar Reyna, Cho Dan, who is the owner of the Korean Martial Arts Academy Dojang Tecamac. From the airport, the two traveled by taxi and bus to their final destination - the hotel Sol y Luna. Later that evening, Master Rivera conducted a clinic in the town of Tecamac at the central dojang. Students ranging from 5 years of age and older were in attendance. Professor Reyna, his students, and their parents were very excited to have Master Rivera teaching in their dojang.
 

The next morning, Master Rivera and Professor Reyna traveled to the city of Teotihuacan to see the third largest pyramid
in the world. The pyramid is called the pyramid of the Sun and next to it is it’s sister pyramid the pyramid of the Moon. In order to get there, one has to hike down the Calle de los Muertos – which means the Street of the Dead. That evening, Master Rivera conducted a workshop on Basic Bong (staff) and Ho Sin Sul techniques. Afterwards, everyone gathered for a group picture. The invincible spirit of Tang Soo Do is definitely alive and well in the Korean Martial Arts Academy Dojang Tecamac.
 

On Wednesday morning, Master Rivera was a special guest at an outdoor activity where students from kindergarten to 8th grade demonstrated Tang Soo Do and other sports activities to their parents. Afterward they competed against each other - including the parents.
