Our Story
Art of Taekwondo began with a simple belief: Taekwondo can change lives.
For Master Sungju An, Taekwondo has never been just a sport or discipline. It has been a lifelong journey of growth, resilience, and meaningful connection.
After more than 20 years as an elite Taekwondo athlete in South Korea—including earning a full university scholarship and winning multiple National Championship titles—followed by many years teaching at leading Taekwondo organizations across the United States, he discovered what matters most: Helping each student build confidence, find joy, and purpose through every step of their journey.
Art of Taekwondo is built on that belief—a place where students of all backgrounds grow together, take pride in their progress, and build a community where they truly belong.
Our Philosophy
At AOT, we believe students learn best in a safe and supportive environment rooted in hard work and consistency.
We work with each student to guide, encourage, and challenge them with care, intention, and purpose.
Along the way, we celebrate small victories and larger milestones while building lasting relationships. Here, growth goes far beyond technique.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum is based on the standards of Kukkiwon (World Taekwondo Headquarters) and consists of five core components: Kicking, Poomsae (Forms), Olympic-style Sparring, Board Breaking, and Practical Self-Defense. Each area cultivates unique physical and mental attributes, ensuring a well-rounded martial arts education.
We prioritize mastery over speed. Students progress at their own pace, moving through the curriculum based on their individual readiness and understanding rather than being rushed through the ranks.
