ATA Oregon

Ireland’s ATA Black Belt Academy is a local, family-owned and operated business dedicated to developing the whole person—mind AND body—through Songahm Taekwondo. Our curriculum is based on the concepts of positive mental attitude and high goal setting. Our programs provide great physical benefits, teach life skills, and are fun for the entire family! Ireland’s ATA Black Belt Academy is a member of the American Taekwondo Association (ATA). ATA is the largest martial arts association in the world. We adhere to the strict guidelines of ATA’s founder Grand Master H.U. Lee: Honor, Integrity, Discipline, and Victory. The American Taekwondo Association (ATA) is the premier North American organization dedicated to the martial arts discipline of taekwondo, and is the founding organization of other international affiliates that include the World Traditional Taekwondo Union (WTTU) and the Songahm Taekwondo Federation (STF). Counting both the U.S. and worldwide, our organizations oversee over 1,500 schools and clubs, and we are beginning to register over 300,000 members. 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 student instructor ratios with state of the art training facilities. This has helped establish ATA schools and clubs as the leaders in the martial arts industry. Each instructor is a graduate of an instructor program that represents more than thirty years of research and development. He or she will be with you every step of the way to help you reach your individual goals (and maybe even reach some new goals you never before thought possible). Ireland’s ATA Black Belt Academy has constantly been rated among the best ATA schools in the nation and #1 in Oregon. Our instructors are required to receive continual training in all aspects of Songahm Taekwondo.
