There were two dreams that Shawn had as a child, the first being a great martial artist and have his own school, The second was to be a fireman and save lives.
Shawn R. Liskey was born May 5, 1973. Growing up in Elizabethtown Pennsylvania, Shawn became interested with the martial arts when Roger Engle (Step Father) asked Shawn to watch him at full contact Kickboxing training class. From that day, Shawn knew he wanted to follow Roger Engle?s foot steps into the martial arts world. Shawn R. Liskey has been dedicated to the martial arts for more than 20 years and during that time never became inactive. Prior to the age of 9, Shawn was competing at least once a month at local and North East tournaments and achieved over 100 trophies before the age of 13. Shawn achieved the level of Black Belt at the age of 12.
1990 became a transitional year for Shawn as Roger Engle was involved in a near fatal motorcycle accident. Shawn took leadership of the school and assumed command as the lead instructor for Engle Karate School at the age of 16, For several months, until Roger Engle was healthy enough to return to class. During this maturing period Shawn realize not only his love for being a practitioner, but also his passion for sharing his knowledge with others. The most important attribute Shawn aquired from Roger Engle, was to lead by example and be a positive role model.
When Shawn reached his 16th birthday, he went down to the Elizabethtown Fire Department and joined as a junior firefighter. Shawn knew that he wanted to continue this endeavor so after high school Shawn decided to join the military as a firefighter. Shawn graduated from Elizabethtown High School in 1991 and joined the United States Airforce as a Fire fighter and fulfilled most of his tour in England.
