Gabrielle Shaw

2rd Degree Black Belt

Gabrielle’s passion for martial arts began in high school when she started her Taekwondo training under Master Rhyne. While she has explored various styles of martial arts over the years, Taekwondo has remained her favorite discipline, thanks to the life lessons and goal-setting ambitions it instilled in her as a youth. These early experiences shaped her into the person she is today and continue to influence her role as a head instructor.


Gabrielle's dedication to Taekwondo has led her to achieve several milestones in her journey. She earned her Kukkiwon-certified 1st Degree in Taekwondo in 2011 and her 2nd Degree in 2024. In addition, she received her 1st Degree in a different martial arts style in 2022. Her extensive experience extends beyond training; Gabrielle has competed in USAT and AAU tournaments and serves as an AAU referee.

Beyond the physical aspects of martial arts, Gabrielle is passionate about the business side, particularly when it comes to introducing new students to Taekwondo. Having seen firsthand how the practice transformed her own life, she is dedicated to giving others the same opportunities for growth and self-improvement.

Gabrielle's current mission is to help others achieve their full potential both physically and mentally on and off the mats. She strives to instill moral values and lessons into her teaching to create well-rounded individuals who are capable of achieving their dreams.
