"America's Leader in the
Martial Arts"
Welcome to the American Taekwondo Association
(ATA). Our ATA family includes more than 250,000 men, women
and children training in Songahm Taekwondo at more than 900
schools and clubs across the United States. The ATA was
originally established in 1969 in Omaha, Nebraska. Today
National and International operations are directed from our
headquarters in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The ATA is the founding organization of other international
affiliates that include the World Traditional Taekwondo Union
(WTTU) and the Songahm Taekwondo Federation (STF). These
branches include some 16 countries, offering instruction to
more than 30,000 students.
We offer what we believe is the best martial art in the
world. Taekwondo is an exciting and powerful martial art known
for its dynamic kicking and hand techniques. Although these
martial art techniques are centuries old, our programs are
always evolving to keep pace with the rapidly changing world.
We realize that each student possesses different physical
abilities. Size and strength vary with each individual. Once
you have acquired a strong foundation in the basics, our
program will enhance your physical capabilities and maximize
your self-defense skills. You will understand exactly what it
takes, mentally and physically, to defend yourself or your
loved ones should the need ever arise.
At the ATA Black Belt Academy, we are not interested in
just teaching self-defense, we are interested in the complete
personal development of each student. Individual attention is
a feature of each and every class, allowing all students to
progress quickly and confidently toward their personal goals.
Our instructors take their responsibility seriously as role
models for younger students, teaching them the importance of
strong character, leadership and good values.
The teaching curriculum at the ATA Black Belt Academy is
based on two concepts: "positive mental attitude" and "high
goal setting." We feel so positive about this program that we
promise to give you and your family the most professional,
well supervised and the highest quality classes available in
any sport or art.
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. Your
instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that
represents more than 30 years of research and development. He
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).
"I want to thank you for choosing the ATA and
for making SONGAHM Taekwondo a part of your life. Remember,
:today not possible, tomorrow possible."
Sincerely,
Eternal Grand Master H.U.
