Shawn Tompkins - Kickboxing Basics Part 1: Warmup

Warm up and Wind down for the lesson.

This was Shawn's first basic introductory course that he taught for kickboxing.We shot this at Family Martial Arts in London for an idea that I had for an instructional cd-rom on the martial arts. I knew Shawn through his brother, Fred and when I contacted him about the project he was enthused and readily made the time for me, what a guy !
I was attending Fanshawe College at the time and though I finished the cd-rom and got 98% (Thanks Shawn !) ..it was never mass produced.. Shawn and I talked about it but both of us got busy with other things..

Was sad to hear of his recent passing, he was a really cool guy and a good teacher and great in front of the camera.

I managed to find about 14-15 parts of his class we shot from warming up/down to stance basics as well as defensive tactics, different style of kicks, punches and combos.

From 2001.. RIP Shawn.

Thanks again
