Sifu Shawn Meyer Hello, My name is Shawn Meyer and I am a student and Certified Instructor under Guro Dan Inosanto. I have been training under Sifu Reed since 1993 in Jeet Kune Do and have been an instructor for him since 1996. I have had the opportunity to experience many types of martial arts in class and at seminars held at the Reed Academy of Martial Arts. Some of these arts include Wing Chun, Muay Thai, Bando, Savate, Silate, Chinese Boxing, Kali, Lameco Eskrima, Kenpo, Jiu-Jitsu, Shoot Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Jun Fan Kickboxing, and Western Style Boxing. I have also had the honor of meeting some of the top instructors from around the world at the Reed Academy including Guro Dan Inosanto, Professor Salem Assli, Jean Jacques Machado, Punong Guro Edgar Sulite, Dr. G, founder of Bondo, and Siya Dave Osbourne, an instructor under Dr. G. The Reed Academy of Martial Arts has been an excellent place to train. I have experienced many things to help me practically defend myself and my loved ones. The most important thing that the Reed Academy has given me is life skills and how to be open to everything I am exposed to in daily life. I have learned that there is much more to martial arts than fighting. Sifu Reed has helped bring out the best in myself and has helped make me a more confident individual. I would like to thank Guro Dan Inosanto for giving Sifu Charles Reed guidance in Jeet Kune Do and in Mr. Reed's personal life. You have helped develop a great individual who has changed my life forever. I am forever grateful to the Reed Academy of Martial Arts and to Guro Dan Inosanto. Lastly, I would like to thank Simo Paula Inosanto for all of her hard work and always being there.

My proudest moment in martial arts was in 1999 when I became certified in Jun Fan Gung Fu and the Filipino Martial Arts under the most heart warming and humble man I know, Sifu/Guro Dan Inosanto. There are no words that can describe the appreciation I have for this gentleman! I also hold the rank of yellow glove in Boxe Francaise Savate under Professor Salem Assli. I would like to thank my friend Sifu/Guro Charles Reed for all that you have done for me. Without your friendship, guidance and your love for martial arts, who knows where I would be! The academy that you provide to all of us has been such a positive influence on my life and I thank you!. Thanks to all the seminars that the RAMA host and the seminar circuit outside the school, I have had the opportunity to train with the following instructors (in no particular order):
Sifu/Guro
Dan
Inosanto (Jun Fan Gung Fu/JKD Concepts, Filipino Martial Arts, Muay
Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Silat, Bando, Wing Chun, Shoot Wrestling....)
