Dedicated Martial Arts Master
Master Garry Shaw
VII Degree Black Belt
I started TaeKwon-Do in August 1990 with the T.A.G.B after trying Judo & Karate. I was very impressed with TaeKwon-Do on the effectiveness of the techniques, how they are delivered, and the power that we have within ourselves that makes this an incredible art.
I moved to ITF ( International Taekwon-Do Federation) not long after, and have enjoyed my journey travelling around the world for competitions, grading’s, International Instructors Courses (IIC’s), and seminars with many students, Masters, and Grandmasters.
I currently run TaeKwon-Do & Korean Kickboxing classes in the Central Belt of Scotland, and am the only Fully Qualified Tigers LSE Instructor for the Falkirk, Larbert, & Denny areas.
Having competed for 18 years, I have now retired from competitions having won several titles including the Scottish, British, European, and Welsh Champion, and retired winning silver at the P.U.M.A. Welsh Championships in 2008. I now concentrate on teaching and coaching, passing on my knowledge to others, preparing my students for their own competitions and running specific squad training sessions for all who wish to compete.
We look forward to welcoming you to our GSMA family!!
