당수도 Welcome to the dojang
Granite State Tang Soo Do is a family-owned school open to anyone ready to begin their self-defense journey. No matter your age, body type, athletic background or ability — including students with disabilities — you can thrive in this community.
We teach traditional Tang Soo Do step by step, so confidence, self-control and discipline are built the same way a black belt is: one honest class at a time. We train in groups so social skills grow alongside technique, and we hold the line on family-friendly, anti-bullying values in every session.
Group & 1-on-1 attention
Anti-bullying values

Founder & Head Instructor
Shawn started training in Tang Soo Do in 2010, earned his instructor certification in 2015, and opened Granite State Tang Soo Do's doors to Milton in 2016 — not to run a business, but to make a difference in the lives of the people around him.
He's First Aid and CPR certified, sits as a chairperson on a federation self-defense committee, and still teaches nearly every class himself. Ask any parent in the lobby: Master Burns knows every student's name, every student's goal, and exactly what each one needs to hear that day.
Certified instructor — training since 2010
