Meet Master Mary

Master Mary’s style of teaching has proven effective in reducing outbursts, improving focus, self-esteem and reducing the risks associated with childhood obesity. 

Since its inception Master Mary’s Taekwondo based program has expanded to be inclusive of children with a wider range of physical and developmental disorders including: A.D.H.D., Autism spectrum disorder (ASD), temporary and permanent hearing loss, Tourette Syndrome (TS) and Spina Bifida. Master Mary regularly updates programming to suit the needs of incoming students and welcomes inquiries from prospective families looking for programming for a child with special needs.
