Owners Esmeralda and Sifu James Heinrich have owned and operated Great Way Martial Arts for over 25 years. The 7000 square foot studio is located at 2243A Leckie Rd Kelowna, BC V1X 6Y5. Sifu James has been training in the Martial Arts beginning with Kung Fu, Kickboxing and Shaolin Kung Fu before commencing his journey in Wing Chun in 1990.


“Studies show that young women who know how to defend themselves often don’t have to because of how they carry themselves more confidently, and confidence alone is a deterrent to bullies.” says Esmeralda.


For parents concerned with their daughters’ safety when they go away to college or university or starting to work in the job force this is an excellent way to equipment them with skills to be more aware and protect themselves. It is also a great way to spend one on one time for mothers and daughters.
