=== 1969: ATA/Songahm-style Taekwondo ===
In 1969, [[Haeng Ung Lee]], a former Taekwondo instructor in the South Korean military, relocated to Omaha, Nebraska and established a chain of martial arts schools in the United States under the banner of the [[American Taekwondo Association]] (ATA). Like Jhoon Rhee Taekwondo, ATA Taekwondo has its roots in traditional taekwondo. The style of Taekwondo practised by the ATA is called ''Songahm Taekwondo''. The ATA went on to become one of the largest chains of Taekwondo schools in the United States.<ref>{{cite web|url = http://www.ataonline.com/taekwondo/history.asp|title = ATA History|access-date = September 7, 2014|website = Ataon;ine.com|url-status = dead|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140928165114/http://ataonline.com/taekwondo/history.asp|archive-date = September 28, 2014}}</ref>

The ATA established international spin-offs called the [[Songahm Taekwondo Federation]] (STF) and the [[World Traditional Taekwondo Union]] (WTTU) to promote the practice of Songahm Taekwondo internationally. In 2015, all the spin-offs were reunited under the umbrella of ATA International.{{citation needed|date=August 2023}}
