After many years of self-defense training, Mr. Joseph Dunlap founded the North American Family Taekwondo Association, Inc. on November 8, 1988 to incorporate traditional American values with the Korean style of self-defense using Taekwondo. After thirteen years of improving the Taekwondo program, Grand Master Joseph J. Dunlap completed the martial arts program, "Advanced Taekwondo for the 21st Century". Advanced Taekwondo for the 21st Century is a martial arts program, which improves the mind and body using Taekwondo. Taekwondo is the way of hand and foot for self-defense using control, combination and technique in order to develop power.

Our Program: Advanced Taekwondo for the 21st Century is an outstanding program that sets high standards for its students and instructors in which rank and position must be earned. A student can earn black belt in 30 months if they test each time and pass each test.

Our Goal: At the North American Family Taekwondo Association, Inc., our goal is to help everyone to improve self-esteem and to be mentally and physically fit in order to excel in life.

Our Philosphy: The most important philosophy that North American Family Taekwondo Association, Inc. teaches instructors is that the student is the most important person in class. Without students, one can't be an instructor. By helping students improve mentally and physically, an instructor actually improves himself by becoming a better person living a more complete life. The instructor must set the example of how one should live life in and out of class.

Our Instructors: The instructors in the program teach the most important values in life are Family, Education, Say No To Drugs, Loyalty,Self-Respect, Respect for Others, Self-Confidence, Self-Control, Discipline and Self-defense.

The North American Family Taekwondo Association, Inc. training program, with new forms and one-steps, has moved the art of Taekwondo forward into the new generation of self-defense training.

We at the North American Family Taekwondo Association, Inc. invite anyone into our house so they too can rise to a higher level in life and martial arts.
