Combined Fighting Systems

“Shawn came and taught a self defense class for our library and it was FANTASTIC! Excellent written materials, excellent demonstration and teaching of how to practice self defense moves. Shawn gave realistic expectations of what a one time class would offer and things that one could practice in order to improve.”

“Had the opportunity to take a private self defense class with Shawn and it went great! He provides a very comfortable, judge-free zone. I learned lifelong skills in just one class and I can’t wait to keep practicing! Would 100% recommend.

“I had a private lesson with Shawn and learned so much more than I could have imagined. He is incredibly intelligent and teaches in a way you will not just remember but understand. He brings knowledge from different experiences so you can relate to and apply the content. If you are looking for someone honest, down to earth, authentic and to learn at your own pace – I HIGHLY recommend calling Combined Fighting Systems.”

Not only is Shawn one of my closest friends but one of the best martial arts instructors I know. My wife Cindy and I cannot thank him enough for teaching and coaching our children to be some of the top rated fighters in the country. He would not accept nothing but perfection from our children which in doing so enabled them to be ranked highly and at times feared by their opponent. I would highly recommend anyone to allow Shawn to train you as you will get the best there is.

Thank You Shawn,
Dave & Cindy Savage

I have been training with Shawn for 3 years. He is an amazing instructor, with boundless knowledge of the fighting skills he teaches and the history behind the many arts he has combined into one very effective system.

I’ve been a wrestler and coach for about 50 years and have also taken different martial arts training, so have been exposed to many coaching and teaching styles. Shawn combines vast fighting knowledge and experience with excellent teaching skills, even for old guys like me! His approach is also very practical and useful. All substance and no wasted motion or fancy tactics that won’t be used in a fight, or brawl, which usually takes place in reality. You will be prepared to defend yourself!
