Recently I trained with Mr. Shotwell in South Carolina. He is a great martial artist and teacher. I learned quite a bit with him and enjoyed it too. Would definitely learn from him again.

I have been a student of Sensei Shotwell for the past 5 years. Both in the womens self defense class and as a traditional karate student. Both of my children take classes with him as well. He is very knowledgeable and knows how to reach students of all levels. My knowledge of real life situations, my confidence, and my ability to protect myself have dramatically increased since training with Sensei Shotwell. I highly recommend this school.
