Shawn Rafferty

In 1979 Shawn first started his martial arts training in Shorin Ryu Karate. Since then, Shawn

has studied in various other systems like Boxing, Muay Thai, Judo, Jiu Jitsu, Stick Fighting,

and now CKM. Since 1991 Shawn has served in the United States Marine Corps, worked as a Corrections Officer, a Police Officer and most recently a High Threat Personal Security

Specialist in Iraq.
Shawn’s experience in various dangerous occupations has led him to believe that CKM is the most practical and efficient self defense system he has encountered. Shawn feels that to be

fully prepared for any confrontation one has to train realistically both physically and psychologically and CKM truly addresses these important aspects.
