Meet Doc Shaun – A Lifetime of Martial Arts Excellence
Head Instructor Shaun Taylor, affectionately known as Doc Shaun, brings a wealth of experience and dedication to his craft. Doc Shaun’s martial arts journey began in his teens with Chito Ryu Karate and boxing. At just 17, he joined the Air Force, where he expanded his training across various martial arts. It was in 1989 that he discovered his passion for Jui-Jitsu under the guidance of Sergeant Michael Kaminiski. After four years of rigorous training, he earned his brown belt and later completed his black belt training at RAAF Butterworth in Malaysia.
Since returning to Australia in 1999, Doc Shaun has been a pillar in the martial arts community, teaching students across Northern NSW, Brisbane, and now the Gold Coast. Over the past two decades, his expertise has benefited a diverse range of individuals, including Royal Australian Army and Air Force personnel, Thai Navy Seals, bodyguards, elite sportspeople, and security professionals both locally and internationally.
Why train at IJJF Gold Coast?

Our classes enhance physical fitness, build mental resilience, and instill core values such as honor, bravery, compassion, honesty, and loyalty. Alongside learning authentic Japanese Jui-Jitsu, students gain essential self-defence skills for real-world scenarios.
