Master Eric AH-YUEN, owner of
Winning Circle Martial Arts, founded the club in September 2000. His hopes were to match the vitality of the
Riverside South – Manotick community with a small but viable martial arts club. Under his impulsion, the club grew to a
point where it necessitated a permanent instructor. In September 2002, Master Eric AH-YUEN appointed François R. JOLY
as head instructor of the Winning Circle Manotick Branch Club.

While being a friendly and family
oriented club, Winning Circle Martial Arts Riverside South Community encourages
each of its students to participate in as many tournaments as they can. Competition harnesses skills and provides a
more profound understanding of martial arts in general. As such, patterns and sparring will be
practiced regularly on an extensive basis.
