Welcome to the Asheville Academy Of Taekwondo website. My name is Richard Tener and I am the owner / operator, and chief instructor of our school here in Asheville, North Carolina. After training in Kung Fu in the early '70's, I have earned my 5th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo. I have trained in Taekwondo very actively since 1988. I opened the academy on August 27, 1991.
We are under the auspices of the American Taekwondo Foundation and the World Taekwondo Federation. Grandmaster Yun Sung Chung is the president of the ATF. The ATF National Headquarters is in Montgomery, Alabama. Our school serves as regional headquarters of the ATF and I am the Regional Director.
