WHAT IS SONGAHM-STYLE TAEKWONDO?
ATA members practice a style known as Songahm Taekwondo, which is a traditional system of Taekwondo introduced by Grand Master Lee. The Songahm style is distinguished by its integration of traditional values and martial arts techniques with modern training and management methods; by its system of challenging forms, which facilitates learning difficult kicks at an early level; and by the rigor of its instructor training requirements, which ensures highly professional instruction. The term Songahm is interpreted as meaning “pine tree and rock,” which symbolizes continuous growth (the evergreen pine tree) from a solid historical and traditional foundation (the rock).
