When he's out and about, Mark enjoys cycling, skateboarding, and taking the horse out for a ride.

Shaun Clark

Originally starting with Fear Knot as a Little Ninja in 2005, Shaun had spent several years away training and fighting internationally. Ranked in the top 5 nationally and top 100 internationally in Taekwondo (Olympic) fighting, he returned to Fear Knot because this is where he started, and Taekwondo has been such an integral part of his life. Shaun has always enjoyed working with and being a role model for the students. When he’s not training or teaching, Shaun says he likes to sleep. Don’t we all.

Haylee Alleman
1st Dan
