TESTIMONIALS

As it turns out, Shawn has been in my life for over 10 years now. During this time we have both grown and leaned on one another. I've always been a tough one, walking alone and handling things on my own, but there came many times in my life when I realized I couldn't do everything alone. So who did I turn to? The one I trust the most; Shawn Zemba. Through out my life he has not only helped me with my physical training for when I was going into the Navy SEALS but again when I had pain in my shoulder from dislocating it, and yet again when I injured my ITB in the military.

These are just a few out of the many times he has helped me, but he's also helped me not just with physical understanding and recovery, but also mental. Several times in my life I fell victim to the many downers life throws at you. Each time when ever it became too much to handle on my own and I needed an outside perspective; the first person I would think of is Shawn. I know he truly understands me because he has been threw many of the same things, but he has interests in life that allow him to seek out better ways to deal with these situations. So I turned to him for advice and clarity. With anything; it is what you put into it, but having someone I knew I could trust who wouldn't ridicule me or look down on me due to the issues I was going threw. I knew he had my best interests at heart and I knew I could count on him, as I always can and will continue to any time I may need to.

Like anyone else, Shawn is only human at heart and is suseptable as we all are to the world and emotions, but he certainly has grown a ton since high school and is very well equipped to handle anything life throws at us. It's great to know I always have a true friend around in my life. Enough said.

If you are reading this is because you want to know who Shawn is, whether he is worth your trust and whether you are going to learn something from him. I found that Shawn works a lot like a mirror: you look at yourself following his teachings. So the true questions are: who are you, are you worth your investigation to discover yourself and what can you learn from yourself?

Everything Shawn taught me with patience, clarity and fun was focused on realizing that I have my own life in my hands: now I can really decide what to do about it, because I know I am in charge. So, if you really want to improve your life, drop Shawn a line. If you are too scared to change deeply, stay far away from him!

Thank you Shawn...

I had the fortune to be introduced to Shawn by Maha in August 2010 and I have benefited greatly from that occurrence. Shawn encourages spiritual and psychological growth through his uncanny wisdom, patience, and humour. He compels one to reflect on oneself and evolve a fresh perspective on life. I highly recommend Shawn as a guide to a richer quality of experience.

Shawn Zemba has been a good friend to me all these years. I've had some issues with self esteem and anxiety for years and Shawn has always been the voice of reason when I thought there was nothing left to hang on to. He has helped me through several hard times and has changed my perspective on life into something more positive and fulfilling. I owe him a great debt and could not thank him enough for being there for me all these years. Whether it was listening to me vent, or providing sincere and beneficial advice, Shawn has been an invaluable friend I would not want to lose.

After only a few hours of meeting Shawn, I trusted him enough to share with him about a very personal, painful experience. He was compassionate and non-judgmental, and helped me see the experience in a spiritual light. He is a wise and generous teacher, and I'm grateful to call him my friend.

There's a lot I could say about Shawn, I've trained with him very much. He got me back into it, after stopping when I got out of school, and consequently gaining about 60 pounds. It started with him pushing me to go through Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning, and ended with sessions of 250 hindu pushups and 500 hindu squats, or, on the flip side, him teaching me techniques of Classical Jui-jutsu step by step. He has an incredible knack for teaching, he expresses himself very well and almost effortlessly at times, which resulted in me learning very much about martial arts, health, and conditioning from him. I now train at a pro-level MMA gym, and my progress was jump-started heavily because of him. I really appreciate everything Shawn's ever done for me.

As a spiritual seeker we see opportunities and teachers in everyone. Because of this base, I was able to learn from Shawn without the traditional teacher-student relationship. Shawn is skilled and direct. You will have to develop fearlessness to communicate with him. Later I found compassion in this fearlessness but it was not easy. If you truly feel that your evolution is important, then Shawn can teach you. If you are willing to swallow your pride and challenge every assumption and limitation in place then you can learn from him. If you think you know him and what to expect next, you have fooled only yourself. Leave your expectations and attachments behind, you won't need them anymore! Bring your humility, gratitude and faith in self...oh and your notes!

I credit Shawn with nothing less than aiding my 'awakening'. I'd been drawn towards the supernatural all my life, but had always found myself unable to communicate with and explore it effectively, even after having read several books on contemporary Shamanism. Shawn pretty much showed me how; first by helping me to interpret my experiences and then by showing me how to do it all alone. The most significant period of spiritual growth in my life owes a great deal to Shawn's guidance.

Shawn Zemba is a master of conditioning. He kept every workout fun and super intense. He always changed up the routine from one workout to the next, so I never knew exactly what to expect. While I was training with Shawn, I simply could not get tired when wrestling or doing ju-jitsu. In fact, years later I still use some of his drills to keep myself in peak condition.
