#shawntompkins

I met #shawntompkins in 1997.He came to a #shootfight seminar at my school in Burlington. That year he invited me to teach at his small school in #tillsonburgontario which I didn’t even know existed. I never could have imagined that this young man would grow into the #mmacoach and #mmapioneer that would happen years later . I still have the seminar I taught on VHS . @ldubmma was my assistant helping me teach his crew. It was amazing watching him grow and network and finally see him in #lasvegas with his team! Those were the days🙏 #ripshawntompkins #adrenalinemma #mma #kickboxing #ufccoach #ufchistory #tbt #throwbackthursday (at Tillsonburg, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1MRY-gndKX/?igshid=1kqo85k7g8c3d
