ABOUT US

GET TO KNOW US

Creating a community of respect and inclusiveness.

My name is Shawn Crampton, and I am a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Professor Jason Burnworth, a black belt under Professor Bruno Carvalho. I believe that Jiu-Jitsu is much more than a martial art. Jiu-Jitsu is a community rarely found in other activities and has fostered lifelong relationships for my students and me. There is something special about sharing the mats with people from all walks of life. I have met people from all over the world, some of which did not speak the same language yet made deep and meaningful connections through Jiu-Jitsu. I want to share Jiu-Jitsu with anyone willing to walk through the door. Here at Tribal Society Jiu-Jitsu, I believe everyone deserves to be treated with gratitude and respect.

Shawn Crampton

OWNER/HEAD INSTRUCTOR

I started my jiu-jitsu journey in 2008 under Professor Mauricio Zingano and Professor Matt Simms. I trained jiu-jitsu, MMA, and muay thai with the pro team at Zingano's. I have helped coach fighters and competitors as well as been a partner in a jiu-jitsu school in Denver. I moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in 2018 and continued to train and teach jiu jitsu to those interested. I am a family man first and foremost and enjoy everything the valley has to offer. When I am not on the mats, I can be found on the slopes on my snowboard, trails on a mountain bike or dirt bike, and spending time with my family.

Travis Carter

KIDS COACH

Travis started jiu-jitsu on Maui at Aloha Roll Academy in 2018. After having taken some time off due to relocation and COVID shutdowns, he began training with Shawn at Tribal Society Jiu-Jitsu in 2021. Travis enjoys no-gi training the most, but doesn't shy away from training in the gi. He has been helping teach the kids classes for almost a year and is an integral part of the Tribal Society team. When Travis is not on the mats, he can be found living the family life and running his organic farm which provides food to many of the restaurants and shops here in the Roaring Fork Valley.

HEAR WHAT OUR MEMBERS HAVE TO SAY:

Shawn is a great teacher and Tribal Society is a great place to learn whether you’re a beginner or have been training for years. Shawn has created a collaborative effort at the school where everyone is excited to learn and improve together. Great focus on class techniques as well as individual instruction. If you’re looking to try BJJ, Tribal Society is the place! Shawn also comes up with a new joke every couple weeks. Can’t recommend Tribal Society enough.

~ John Sittler

Tribal Society BJJ has been amazing for both of my sons. The discipline and the skills that they learn are of great use in every aspect of their lives. Shawn makes the classes interesting and gives real life lessons. The classes are well run and the kids are receptive to the way Shawn instructs. I highly recommend every child, both male and female, take BJJ from Tribal Society.
