About

Since we opened our doors in the East Village, we have been dedicated to changing the lives of people one person at a time—through martial arts, education, and coaching. We strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming atmosphere for all students and family members, and we take pride in creating an environment where individuals can achieve, develop, and succeed in their personal goals.

Ahn's Taekwondo NYC was founded by Grandmaster Anna YS Ahn, a Kukkiwon-Certified 8th Degree Black Belt and the founder of Ahn's Taekwondo Group in the USA. Born in Korea into a family of Taekwondo Grand Masters, she was naturally introduced to the Taekwondo world and has been training for over 40 years. Her passion for teaching guides every class, where character development is valued as highly as physical skill.

Our academy carries on the proud legacy of Grandmaster Jae Yoon Ahn and Grandmaster Jae Ro Ahn, both 9th Degree Black Belts. We strongly believe that martial arts can be for everyone, regardless of age, gender, or experience level. Throughout all of our programs, students not only learn the skills to protect themselves—they develop the discipline, confidence, respect, and focus that empower them to live their best life.
