Getting Started

Welcome to USA Taekwondo. We are excited that you have found us.

You are about to change your life. For the better. 

We will do it together.

Taekwondo is a total learning activity for all ages, promoting values such as honesty, courtesy, hard work, loyalty and cooperation. 

Whether you are looking to learn self defense, get fit, build self confidence or just meet new people, getting involved in taekwondo is the gateway to all those things and much, much more.

This is the beginning of your very personal journey - where the road takes you is up to you. Competing, coaching, volunteering - anything is possible, and with USA Taekwondo by your side, even Olympic glory could be in your future!

If you are looking to take up the sport yourself, or think that it's something your children may enjoy and benefit from, the USA Taekwondo website will help you learn what taekwondo is all about, discover whether or not it is for you/your child and, perhaps most importantly, how to get involved safely by choosing a USA Taekwondo affiliated club (the best of the best).

We will cover the history of the discipline, provide the latest news and feature articles on established and up-and-coming taekwondo stars, deliver coaching videos, medical and nutritional advice and cover all of the important organizational information that we, as the national governing body for taekwondo in the United States, are responsible for.

You can sign up for tournaments and seminars, watch live coverage of national events and gain coaching qualifications.

Look around the website - it is constantly changing and we have major improvements planned so check back regularly - and if you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us.

We are here to serve you and to make sure your taekwondo experience is as good as it can possibly be. 

Together we can increase participation and standards, and we look forward to helping you make taekwondo a major part of you and your family's lives.
