“Last Thursday, July 14, my car had a flat tire at the door of the Kogeki dojo when I was on my way to the airport to catch my flight to Madrid. Mr. Santaella saw me and came out of the dojo selflessly to help me. We didn't know each other before. He helped me. and changed the wheel of the car so that I could continue my trip and not miss the flight.Mr. Santaella is a magnificent person who did not hesitate for a second to help me.Thank you thank you thank you!!!“
