Private Training Room
Our private training room is a quiet, low‑distraction space designed for clients who benefit from a calm, predictable environment. It’s a miniature replica of our main dojo, offering the same layout and essential equipment without visual or auditory clutter. By minimizing sensory intrusions, this room supports improved focus, emotional regulation, and steady skill-building, allowing clients to progress comfortably at their own pace.

Classes focus on participation, motivation, and confidence through simple routines, choice-based activities, and upbeat coaching. Sessions deliver safe, enjoyable exercise, social connection, and skill-building for adults of all abilities and disability types, with adaptable drills and pacing to meet each participant where they are.
Medical Academy of Pediatric Special Needs (MAPS) Trained
informed doctor oversees Sensory Taekwondo, uniting biomedical insight with brain-based movement. The staff assess reflexes, balance, eye/vestibular function, and sensory thresholds; design safe, sensory-smart progressions; individualize sessions for attention, regulation, and motor planning; coordinate with families and providers; offer lifestyle and nutrition guidance within scope; and track outcomes to adjust plans for consistent, measurable progress.

Therapeutic Services
Our therapeutic services support children and adults with a wide range of learning styles and neurological needs. Services may include Functional Neurology Exams, Therapeutic Bodywork, Interactive Metronome (Metronome TKD), Neuro Adjustment Therapy, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Biomedical Interventions, and other individualized therapies. These services are offered upon request or recommendation and are thoughtfully integrated to support focus, coordination, regulation, and overall well-being.
Interactive Metronome
Interactive Metronome is a auditory/visual motor rhythmic training exercise that is proven to improve cognition, attention, focus, memory, speech/language, executive functioning, comprehension, as well as motor and sensory skills. Sensory Taekwondo has uniquely amplified the training intensity with martial arts training drills. The most advanced application ever devised for this intervention.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or photobiomodulation, is a non-invasive, painless treatment using red/near-infrared light to reduce irritability, hyperactivity, and social withdrawal in autistic children. It stimulates cellular energy (ATP) production, reduces neuroinflammation, and improves brain-gut communication. Studies show significant improvements in behavioral symptoms, with effects lasting up to 12 months.
In-School Classes
Residency Neuroscience Martial Arts for Special Needs
Sensory Taekwon-Do’s neuroscience-based martial arts program for in-school training has proven to be a game changer for students, teachers, and support staff. Our instructors bring thousands of hours of experience translating evidence-based therapeutic interventions into engaging martial arts activities that help remediate and alleviate challenging behaviors and emotional regulation issues in real time.
By implementing methods that align with each student’s perception and level of consciousness (neurophenomenon), we increase motivation, engagement, and the ability to learn. Surveys of more than 80 educators and aides reported overwhelmingly positive outcomes, including improvements in emotional regulation, mood, attention, following instruction, impulse control, school motivation, transitions, academic participation, and overall achievement. Over seven years of observation, our elementary school outreach program has shown Sensory TKD to be an exceptional fit for special needs academic environments, giving children something to look forward to and motivating school attendance.
