Founded in 2011 by the Alschulers, Martial Arts Rocks serves the special needs community through action and advocacy.
Our Story
In 2011, the Alschuler family saw that there was a lack of resources available to young adults with special needs. In response to this, they started a free bag class where people could come to learn martial arts and social skills. Grand Master Tom Bloom, who the Alschulers have now been training with for over 20 years, graciously offered his studio to Martial Arts Rocks, and classes began meeting regularly.
