Kickboxing and Boxing can be for everyone. no intimidation or egos. Contact always optional.
Shaun teaches several classes

Shaun has been training for 31 years. He started at the age of 9 in Freestyle Taekwondo gaining his first Black Belt at the age of 11. He always wanted to do karate from watching endless Bruce Lee movies and kept begging his mother to let him go, eventually she let him after a few years of nagging!

At the age of 18 Shaun moved into Kickboxing and was awarded the black belt at 20 by my his instructor and 5-time world champion, Trevor Ambrose.

Shaun started fighting full-contact Kickboxing almost immediately after moving into the sport. He went on to win the British Kickboxing title of the Super Welterweight class which was a big highlight of his fighting career. Shaun also fought at the European level and featured on Sky Sports. Shaun has had professional fights in the UK, Ireland, Spain and Norway. During his fighting career, he also had several boxing fights.

Shaun first start teaching 20 years ago and has always been something he loved to do - being able to pass his knowledge to others. His teaching style is very friendly to everyone and Shaun understands that not everyone wants to fight or have full-contact for that matter. However he still trains them the same way, just leaving out the contact. Training like a pro without the blows!
