Shawn Mozen
Shawn Mozen began studying the
martial arts at the age of seven with the art of Judo. At
twelve he was encouraged by a friend to try karate, an art he
subsequently spent fifteen years studying. As a result of his
Karate Sensei's diverse martial arts background Shawn's
training was not typical of most traditional schools. Boxing,
grappling and reality close-quarters fighting were regular
elements in those classes and the lessons he learned there
would shape his views and dedication to reality training.
To improve as an instructor he participated in coaching
development programs and has been recognized as a coach by the
Federation Quebecoise de Boxe Olympique and under the Canadian
National Coaching Certification Program. Shawn is a 3rd Dan
Black Belt in Shito Ryu Itosukai Karate, a Blue Belt in
Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a Certified Commando Krav Maga
Instructor. In addition Shawn has trained with some of the top
martial artists and fitness trainers in the world. He was
one of the first people in
Canada to be RKC(Kettlebell) Certified by Pavel Tsatsouline
and
conducts Kettlebell Instructor
Certifications worldwide.
Shawn can be heard offering color commentary for TKO (Canada's
top Mixed Martial Arts event). He has lent his voice and
insight into MMA fighting since TKO 17 and can be heard on the
recent release Best of TKO dvd.
Shawn has authored three Kettlebell instructional DVDs
and written the only Canadian workbook on the subject.
He has
taught everyone from law enforcement to professional athletes
and continues to share his
knowledge about fitness and martial
arts through
seminars across Canada and the U.S
mission
