He had been coming into his family’s dojo to practice Tae Kwon Do under his father, a former Korean marine and grand master, from age 4, but when Simon An arrived there one late June afternoon, he was ripped from his routine by a terrified scream.

A college student from Katy, Texas, Mr. Simon An, 20, told local station KHOU11 that he has lived and breathed Tae Kwon Do his entire life. That day he and his family—including his father, mother, sister, and brother—were called to use their skills to help a woman in distress, whose scream he heard from a Cricket Wireless retail store next door.
