"Ritchie's vast experience in martial arts is evident. His attitude and passion for what he does makes everyone attending feel very much at ease. The classes are not intimidating and he has a knack for making everyone feel welcome and capable of doing the "butt whoopin" exercises! It's truly the friendly atmosphere he creates that makes you want to continue. I would recommend the group classes to people of any fitness level! Who thought exercising could be fun..."

"Ritchie Yip provides corporate classes at two of our Vancouver locations. In watching Ritchie in action, he demonstrates tremendous skill and motivation as an educator.

Students consistently cite tremendous benefits in the fields of cardiovascular fitness, hand-eye coordination, self-defense and, lest we forget, the fun factor.
Words often fall short when describing that personality blend that spells success. Seeing is believing. You shall never regret time spent with Ritchie Yip."

"I have been kickboxing and boxing for 12 years and have trained with many instructors. I truly feel that Ritchie Yip is the most talented, patient, motivating martial artist I have ever worked with. I appreciate his genuine interest in my learning and his ability to work with my limitations and goals.

Ritchie’s passion for his art is infectious. Because of him, I find myself practicing more on my own – skipping and shadow boxing. I am always trying to improve my skills to show how much respect I have for his coaching.

As an owner of a Personal Training Company I believe that one-on-one fitness can benefit everyone. I am very picky about who I choose to train with – I only work with the best. Ritchie Yip is the best."

"I have trained with Ritchie Yip for over a year now, and in that time I have noticed a tremendous improvement in my strength, co-ordination, and overall fitness. We have practiced boxing, jujitsu, and kali together, and I feel that my skills have developed rapidly. Under Ritchie's tutelage, I have come to understand the underlying principles of martial arts, and how they relate to each discipline. In addition to his encyclopaedic knowledge of the arts, Ritchie brings his invariably positive and enthusiastic attitude to every class. I especially enjoy the team spirit and friendly atmosphere that he has cultivated at Infighting. Anyone who is looking for both a great workout and superior technical instruction need look no further than Ritchie Yip. I look forward to training with Ritchie for years to come!"

"This class is the best workout I have ever had! It combines strength and fitness exercises with boxing techniques for all fitness levels in a fun atmosphere. Keep it up, Ritchie!"

"Infighting has given me skills I never thought I would have, and a level of confidence I can take into other areas of life. But much more important than any of that, it's given me many hours of fun."

"I have been taking Jeet Kune Do lessons from Ritchie for about a year and have made notable improvements in my timing, coordination, flexibility and conditioning.  Ritchie has a great sense of humour, is an outstanding communicator and is a wonderful teacher.  As someone who had never studied a martial art before, I found that Ritchie has an uncanny ability to translate technical concepts into every day language.  Ritchie is a pleasure to work with, dedicated and driven.  I have had the good fortune to work with a significant number of talented people and can say Ritchie is one of the stronger people I have ever worked with." 

"Ritchie's knowledge of martial arts, combined with his expertise in physical fitness training is invaluable. With Ritchie your fitness training moves away from standard, monotonous, regimented routines and into dynamic, useful, core body exercises that keep your mind active and your body energized. I have trained with Ritchie for over 2 years now and have found my balance, strength, stamina and overall fitness to exceed any other period of my life. With Ritchie, exercise becomes fun rather than work."

"The first time I really met Ritchie was when I dropped into a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu group class that he was teaching. What struck me was how welcome he made me feel. Recently, I started taking private BBJ lessons from him. Now, since I have been training with Ritchie, I have seen significant improvements in my ground game. Ritchie's enthusiasm for training and teaching is infectious, he takes the time to learn "where you are at" and customize the lesson to your learning needs. Each lesson is like a link in a chain, connecting and reinforcing what came before. Ritchie's approach is friendly, motivational and giving. His own quest for perfection, through marital arts, is reflected in his sincere desire to see those who train with him improve and grow."

"I have found Ritchie's patient teaching style is a perfect compliment to his innovative curriculum. Since I have been training with Ritchie, I have been able to develop my martial arts skills to a level that I never thought I could reach."

"Ritchie Yip is a multi-faceted martial artist who delivers the highest level of MMA coaching. I value Ritchie as a training partner and a friend, and highly recommend him for martial arts and fitness training."

"I highly recommend Ritchie as an instructor. He is a great teacher and we have a lot of fun together when we train."

"Working with Ritchie has greatly added to both my physical fitness and my skill level in the martial arts. My background solely comes from stand up fighting. I boxed amateur in Ontario for several years and currently teach it. Ritchie has given me the ability to feel more comfortable in ground fighting through the use of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Greco Roman Wrestling. Previous to my training with Ritchie I had zero training in these disciplines. Everyday we train together I feel more and more confident that I am becoming an overall well rounded fighter. Ritchie's teaching style is very methodical and his curriculum based teaching allows a natural progression from beginners to more advanced levels, all the while keeping it incredibly fun and interesting.

"Ritchie incorporates several fighting styles in his training methods, identifying the strengths and flaws in each style. His teaching methods stress simplicity, effectiveness and efficiency. His goal (as he will tell you) is to make you good quickly. I would highly recommend Ritchie as an instructor."

"Ritchie is a fantastic teacher. He listens carefully to any questions and keenly observes his students providing excellent feed back while training. He is able to provide an enjoyable atmosphere to both learn martial art skills and stay in great shape. He provides an incredibly varied curriculum with boxing, weapons training and jujitsu among other arts. I recommended him with out reservation."

"Ritchie is very student-centered in his teaching approach. He has this ability to zero in on just where I'm at in my training - and he works from there. Some of the Martial Arts techniques we're working on are quite technical, but the challenge is offset by how positive and encouraging Ritchie is. This also builds my confidence as we train. The learning process with Ritchie is really fun as well."
