Sifu Robert Rinas

Head Instructor

Wing Chun Level 10 - Gold Sash

​

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 he and his wife Judy returned to the Okanagan and opened Breakthrough Martial Arts Vernon. Always learning, Sifu has also trained in other styles of martial arts and currently holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

"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!"
