The group formed in the 1970s as the AAU National Taekwondo Association, but later broke away from the AAU and created the United States Taekwondo Union (USTU). In 2005, its name changed again to USA Taekwondo after the USOC took over the governance of the USTU in 2004. In 2006, the first USAT Board of Directors was elected by the membership.[5]
The headquarters of USAT is located in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[1]
During its history many athletes representing the USAT at the Olympics have been successful at obtaining medals.
