Karate Instructor Overcomes Fear To Teach Through Karate
SHARON TAYLOR profiles Andy Watford who turned personal violence into a lifelong karate path. A Halloween attack left him with a lacerated kidney and lasting brain injury but sparked his drive to help others. Now 43, he owns Watford's School of Karate, serves as Kick Drugs Out of America chair, and teaches students from ages 3 to 81 while showcasing techniques at AMBUCS events. He emphasizes mind body and character development and recalls guarding Kenny Rogers in the 1970s.
