Hi, I’m Shaun Takle, founder of B-SMART Martial Arts.

 

For nearly a decade, I had the privilege of coaching martial arts before starting B-SMART in 2015—a school built on my own vision of what training should be.

 

My mission is simple: to teach practical martial arts and self-protection skills that help students stay safe, grow in confidence, and thrive both inside and outside the dojo. Watching students develop not just their physical skills but also their mindset and resilience is what inspires me every day.

 

At B-SMART Martial Arts, our approach is holistic, realistic, and authentic. We focus on more than just techniques—we teach calmness under pressure, problem-solving, and the ability to stay composed when life gets tough.

 

With years of training in Krav Maga, Freestyle Taekwondo, Muay Thai, and Judo, I’ve combined my experience to create a well-rounded program. As a qualified life coach, I also support students on a deeper level, helping them grow into confident individuals and positive members of their community.

 

Community is at the heart of what I do. Alongside running B-SMART, I also volunteer my time running a children’s Play & Learn session and supporting a local elderly lunch club—both opportunities that allow me to give back and stay connected with people of all ages.

 

But B-SMART is more than a martial arts school—it’s a place where people learn, grow, and discover their best selves.

 

Outside the dojo, I treasure time with my partner, my daughter, and my grandchildren. And when I manage to carve out a little quiet time for myself, you’ll often find me relaxing with my classical guitar.
