When I think of martial arts I do not think of someone becoming more social - just the opposite. Get him involved with social organizations that work on building group skills. Try Boy Scouts/Cub Scouts or Campfire Kids - these will get him out of his room and out into the open with others.
You could also try craft/arts groups that will allow him to develop self expression and creativity.
If all else fails have a monthly sleepover and invite his peers from school.
Do not allow him to stay in the gifted self-contained world and have him never learn how to deal with others his age socially.
