Master Anna YS Ahn, the Founder of Ahn's Taekwondo Group in the USA and Owner of Ahn's Taekwondo with locations in Montgomery/Princeton, Lawrenceville, Plainsboro, NJ, and NYC, NY, is a Kukkiwon-Certified 8th Degree Black Belt holder.

Born in Korea and into a family of Taekwondo Grand Masters, she was naturally introduced to the Taekwondo world and has been training for over 40 years. Gender did not stop her from being a pioneer as a woman in Taekwondo. She endured and persevered the rough and tough world of the male dominated sport by competing and training alongside the male counterparts. Through the persistence of the demanding and rigorous environment that she experienced, she was instilled with a unique, special, resilient, and indomitable spirit of Taekwondo — and when the women's division formed, it was no surprise that she was awarded First Place for sparring at the Korean National Women's Championship in 1984.

When Master Anna YS Ahn's college aspirations led her to Paris, France, her dedication to teaching and training Taekwondo continued. She was determined to pass on the passion, spirit, and the genuine ideas of Taekwondo to the next generation. When she finally came to the US, with the skills and knowledge she accumulated from France as well as at the two schools she managed in Indiana, she challenged herself with her own school in Raritan, NJ before she started the school in Montgomery, where she is now fully committed.

Master Anna YS Ahn is also earnest in sharing with her community — she supports local causes and her demo team participates and performs at local charity events as much as possible. Beyond the local causes, she serves on the board for many Taekwondo associations across the United States. Her efforts were noticed when she was among the select few invited to be a VIP Delegate to the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2016.

At Ahn's Taekwondo, we are 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.
