Pediatric Martial Arts

Del Martial Arts LLC in Westfield, New Jersey, provides a nurturing and inclusive environment specifically designed to support students with diverse needs. The school specializes in tailored Korean martial arts programs for children and adults, with a particular focus on empowering students with language-based learning disabilities and other developmental challenges. Their specialized classes are adapted for higher-functioning special needs students, ensuring meaningful engagement through personalized instruction.

Under the guidance of Master Paul Del Sordo, the school utilizes a multidisciplinary methodology refined since 1995 to foster self-confidence, discipline, and social skills. The program integrates therapeutic elements and developmental support, focusing on personal growth, increased self-awareness, and improved self-esteem. The low student-teacher ratio allows for the individualized attention necessary to meet each student's unique physical and emotional requirements.

The school serves a wide range of ages, from preschool (ages 2-5) through young adulthood (ages 18-22). Beyond the physical studio, Del Martial Arts offers virtual classes and structured programs like "Little Del's" that bring martial arts into school settings. They maintain strong partnerships with families and consult with therapists worldwide to ensure their inclusive approach effectively supports the special needs community.
