Sifu Robert Rinas

Head Instructor

Wing Chun Level 10

​

Sifu has been practicing martial arts for over 25 years. He began his Wing Chun training in his hometown of Kelowna, BC at Great Way Martial Arts. From his first class he knew Wing Chun was a unique martial art that anyone and everyone could benifit from. After training and teaching in Kelowna for years he relocated to Ontario where he opened and ran a successful martial arts school in Kitchener. After the birth of his daughter Eden, he and his wife Judy returned to the Okanagan and opened Breakthrough Martial Arts Vernon. Sifu still oversees the Kitchener school and travels there regularly for gradings, belt tests, and to work with the students and instructors. While in Ontario Sifu also trained in other styles of martial arts including Japanese & Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Judo.

"My passion for the martial arts stems from the many success stories I hear from students and parents of students who's lives have positivly changed through training. Kung Fu to me is not about the punching and kicking, the yelling and jumping, it's about the increased self confidence and belief that is a natural byproduct of regular training. I look forward to meeting and training with you!"
