Sensory Friendly

Big news!!! New Sensory Friendly Class

We have started a new Sensory Friendly class.  This class is taught by Master Willard and Mrs. Willard.  Mrs. Willard is an award winning Special Education teacher with over 20 years teaching in an SXI class room.


We recently started this class as a pilot program, not knowing how successful it could be.  Using techniques used in the SXI classroom we have observed significant improvements.  We are very excited the possibilities this program can offer students that would struggle in another setting.

Aspire Taekwondo: credentials

 Aspire Taekwondo takes pride in the fact that we offer the highest level of Traditional Taekwondo and Sport Taekwondo. We have World ChangMooKwan certified International Instructors. We study Traditional Taekwondo through World ChangMooKwan. ChangMooKwan was originally known as YMCA Kwon Bop Bu before its founder Byung In Yoon's disappearance. In 1953, Lee Nam Suk became the leader of the Kwon and renamed it, ChangMooKwan. In 1961, ChangMooKwan joined the Korean Taekwondo Association (KTA) and Lee Nam Suk was named the General Director. The Kukkiwon was founded as the Central Dojang of the KTA in 1972. The current leader of World ChangMooKwan is Kim Joong Young. Grand Master Kim is a committee member for the High Dan Promotion Committee for the Kukkiwon. Although, the official martial arts curriculum of ChangMooKwan is the Kukkiwon system.  Aspire Taekwondo has chosen to maintain an even higher standard than we are required to by the organizations we are certified through.   Since 2014, this high standard has produced over 40 National Champions in our Sport Taekwondo program.
