Master Shawn Burns
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.

Don't take our word for it. Here's what Milton parents and students say after training with us!
Such a phenomenal place to be a part of ! From pee wee’s to Black Belts/ line drills and hyungs/ to our fun and creative games. We all work together to gain knowledge, confidence, and friendship! A great place for sharing and inspiring! TSD!
I’ve been going here for about 8 months now and it’s fantastic! Great people and great training! Good for kids, adults, teens, etc. - all ages. I’ve been doing martial arts for almost 30 years and this is one of the good ones! Great mix of tradition, discipline, techniques, drills, and practical application.
If you're looking for a karate studio, this place is highly recommended. The instructors here are exceptional, great at teaching both kids and adults. It's an excellent spot to learn self-defense, boost your confidence, and improve your self-esteem. Plus, it's a good workout and can turn into a fantastic family activity. Master Burns and Mrs. Burns started training after their daughter, Ms. Burns, began her lessons. Now they all teach together.
Granite State Tang Soo Do is an outstanding martial arts school with a phenomenal instructor and an amazing team of black belts. They create a welcoming environment while teaching discipline, respect, confidence, and valuable self-defense skills. If you’re looking to get in shape, build character, and learn from experienced instructors, this is the place to be. I highly recommend Granite State Tang Soo Do to anyone, regardless of age or experience!
My daughter loves going to class every weekend. Master Burns is great with the kids and they learn very fast. Strongly recommend to anyone with a child interested in martial arts.
Mr. Burns is awesome! My 6 year old goes and loves it. He is having such a good time and learning self control. I will likely start soon myself!
My daughter goes here and we couldn't be happier! She is learning a ton, creating a new sense of self and confidence and the people are amazing.
My sons and I very much enjoy our classes as a family. It's great exercise and a lot of fun while learning valuable life skills. Affordable and a great value.
This Karate studio has given my son the confidence and self esteem booster in self defense. He has been involved for many years and has gained such respect for the art of Tang Soo Do that he's loves it! Instructor is professional and great! Very affordable! Best class around!
