Just when you thought it was safe....you got Shlawlered .

Shaun Lawler began training in martial arts back in 1984 with the American Karate Association. In 1986, he won his first kickboxing championship and held the title for the next three years before leaving the sport in 1989. Mr. Lawler began training at Jade Mountain in 2004, and currently holds a green sash in mantis kung fu and Chen taiji. In addition to his kung fu training, Mr. Lawler has had the privilege of training with Larry Escher of Texas Krav Maga, Brandon Quick of Trinity Combat Academy, Royce Gracie of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, Superfoot Bill Wallace, and Tom Dinklage.

Never selfish with technique, Shaun Lawler is a patient and enthusiastic instructor who never stops experimenting, learning, and exploring.

As a member of Jade Mountain , he has internalized the movements of Chen and Mantis, and incorporated those styles into his formidable grappling technique. We are thrilled to have him as part of our team.
