The best way to describe Shawn is as a "Technical Savage". He is an extremely seasoned competitor on the international jiu jitsu stage with a silver medal from the 2021 IBJJF No-Gi European games. His style focuses on wrestling to the top then generating relentless pressure which forces opponents to make mistakes - a rare skillset for a 160lbs competitor. Shawn, perhaps more than any other competitor in the northwest, has proven his ability to perform jiu jitsu at an international, elite level.
Shawn has competition wins over some of the largest names in competition Jiu Jitsu:
He is also the head wrestling coach at Newport High School in Bellevue, WA - which means that not only can he do jiu jitsu, but he can also teach it.
Shawn's favorite submission is a Rear Naked Choke.
