History

Established in 2006.

Anatolia Family Taekwondo was originally created and run out of the clubhouse in the Anatolia neighborhood. Classes started in 2006 and were only offered 2 times per week. Within 3 months, a third class was added to help the students gage additional knowledge. After only 1 year of teaching classes, the student count had grown tremendously and the class schedule split up into 5 days a week to help accommodate everyone. Anatolia Family Taekwondo continued to teach classes at this facility with a growing student base until 2012. In May 2012, Anatolia Family Taekwondo opened up their first retail location and their classes became open to residents outside of the Anatolia community. After 1 short year again, Anatolia Family Taekwondo had outgrown their space and moved into a 5k square foot facility down the street.
