Just had an amazing class with Mr. Mindful Martial Arts himself Shawn Desjardins. He's truly a brilliant teacher as well as epic fighter. I highly recommend checking out his classes and teachings. There's no doubt that I'm now going to make his classes a regular part of my flow. Thanks again brother, excited to learn more from you!

I am so grateful that this was my introduction to martial arts. Having now experienced another gym as well, I am increasingly appreciative of Shawn's attention to detail, truly effective teaching techniques and style, and the focus on presence, awareness, and mindfulness. Whether you have a martial arts background or are a complete beginner, I truly cannot recommend these classes enough. Much gratitude, Shawn!

Shawn is a wonderful instructor. Very knowledgable and patient. If you are a beginner and want to try martial arts without having to go through the formalities or 'beginners shame'. I would highly recommend this.
