| Desription ......... Though Shawn Tompkins hasn’t competed in the ring lately, as a trainer, he has guided fighters like Dan Henderson and Sam Stout to glory. As a trainer for Randy Couture’s Xtreme Couture, Tompkins trains stars like Henderson, Stout, Chris Horodecki, and Mark Hominick in Muay Thai, submission, and a variety of other martial arts techniques. Tompkins, who has been studying fighting since age 6, and was a three time world karate champion by the age of 16, found his calling at the age of 18, establishing his Team Tompkins Karate Gym at in his hometown of Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada. Ask any fighter, and they’ll tell you it’s tough to leave the ring behind, and Tompkins is no exception – he still dreams of entering the ring. Still, the 28 fighters Tompkins has under his wing may keep him busy for a while. As he told Fighters Only magazine (July 08), “When I have a new fighter that brings me on as their coach, I have one thing in mind and that’s bringing out the highest potential in them.” His stint as a coach for the IFL (International Fight League) Anacondas -- reins he took from friend and mentor Bas Rutten just prior to a March 2007 sweep over the San Jose Razorclaws – is pretty good resume material, as well. |
