Welcome to the American Taekwondo Association (ATA). Our ATA family includes more than 900,000 men, women and children training in Songahm Taekwondo at more than 2000 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 ranches include some 16 countries, offering instruction to more than 30,000 students.

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 students instructor ratios with sate of the art training facilities. This has helped establish ATA schools and clubs as the leaders in martial arts industry.
