Anna Siepmann began training in the Korean martial art of taekwondo in 2010 at the age of six, originally for self-defence training. She has been part of the German national team since 2018.

At cadet and junior level, Siepmann became German champion seven times, runner-up five times and bronze medallist twice.[6] Since competing as a senior, she has been German champion three times.[3][7] At the 2023 European Championships in Innsbruck, Siepmann competed in the senior pairs event together with Tung-Duong Tim Do.[8] They qualified in third place and finished sixth in the final.[9]
