Since the first student walked into an ATA classroom in 1969, the ATA has been changing lives through Songahm Taekwondo. Now, the ATA is close to reaching the unthinkable, "Changing One Million Lives!" Our founder, Eternal Grand Master H.U. Lee wanted everyone to experience Songahm, and now as a tribute to him, we are working even harder to spread his vision. How can you take part? Treat everyday like Buddy Day and bring friends and family and anyone you know to your Taekwondo class and share with them the spirit of Songahm.
The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) is the premier North American organization dedicated to the martial arts discipline of taekwondo, and is the founding organization of other international affiliates that include the World Traditional Taekwondo Union(WTTU) and the Songham Taekwondo Federation (STF). Counting both the U.S. and worldwide, our organizations oversee over 2,500schools and clubs.and we are beginning to register over 900,000 members.
Since the first class was taught many years ago, the focus of our program has remained the same: to provide students the highest quality martial arts instruction available in a safe and positive learning environment that people of all ages can enjoy. Our instructors combine excellent student instructor ratios with state of the art training facilities. This has helped establish ATA schools and clubs as the leaders in the martial arts industry. Each instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that represents more than thirty years of research and development. He or she will be with you every step of the way to help you reach your individual goals (and maybe even reach some new goals you never before thought possible).
