Kukkiwon Certified 9th Degree Black Belt

A world-renowned Taekwondo master from Korea, head of the New Jersey chapter of Kukkiwon and an undisputed authority on poomsae forms.

Grandmaster Jae Ro Ahn is a world-renowned and influential Taekwondo master from Korea who recently moved to the United States. Plainsboro is fortunate to have such a prestigious grandmaster in New Jersey. He holds a Kukkiwon Certified 9th Degree Black Belt and comes from a family of Taekwondo grandmasters — an older brother who holds a 9th degree black belt and a younger sister who holds an 8th degree black belt. With over 45 years of martial arts experience, he is an undoubted expert of poomsae forms, having studied and analyzed the movements in extraordinary depth. Grandmaster Ahn holds a bachelor’s degree in Taekwondo from Kyung Hee University and a master’s degree in Taekwondo theory from Korea National Sport University. To keep Taekwondo relevant in the Olympics, he served on the research team that restructured the rules and regulations for modern poomsae competition. His newest chapter is Hongik E-Hwa, an international masters research center where he educates established Taekwondo masters to pass along the ideals and knowledge of authentic Taekwondo.

We look forward to welcoming you and your family to Ahn's Taekwondo. Thank you, Grandmaster Jae Ro Ahn
