Robert Cinco

Welcome to VAC

VAC (Visayan Athletic Club) is a Filipino Martial Arts School located in the Toronto area. Master instructor Robert Cinco leads the club with over 20 years of experience teaching in Asia and North America.

VAC is based on three major systems - Balintawak, Tat Kun Tou and Gokosha. All systems are taught as individual arts in a classical format (basic to advanced levels) just as it was taught to Robert. All are practiced as a two man set with a senior student personally supervised by Robert.

As a student progresses, he or she are able to adapt in a realistic situations especially at close range. Robert’s techniques eliminate panic and the instructions are designed to defend oneself with confidence with or without weapon(s) used by the aggressor.

If you are interested in joining VAC, contact us to make an appointment. Robert will be happy to accommodate your request.

TESTIMONIALS

“As a long time student of Kali, Arnis & Eskrima at a sport level, Balintawak gave me an insight and understanding of the 'what ifs... situations' in a more realistic manner. I highly recommend it.”

Rolando Lampitoc - student

“I have been a student of various martial art disciplines for many years. Robert Cinco's teaching style is one of the easiest to understand. With only a few months of Balintawak training, it's easy to understand how one can get lost in the maze of techniques and special moves that this style has to offer.

Robert's way of teaching is very effective in elevating you to a competent level in a very short period of time. I have rarely seen a style of Martial Art taught in such an organized and effective way.”

“Master Robert Cinco is knowledgeable, polite, courteous and an extremely patient individual. His instructions are easy to follow and understand, an outstanding teacher.

Balintawak has opened my eyes to many aspects and scenarios in relation to combat. His direct, no nonsense, and right to the point approach to this style of stick fighting is effective. A must for anyone wanting to learn a weapon art.”

“I studied with Master Robert Cinco for quite a few years and have to say he embodies everything that is noble about the martial arts. He is gifted, passionate about his art, and humble. He effortlessly commands great respect from all his students. He always makes an effort to explain all manner of questions with great patience and a smile. For dedicated students who are willing to work hard he has plenty to teach.

The styles are rare and powerful yet simple enough to apply immediately. The two man set allows for intense application. All techniques becomes instinctive.

I have the utmost respect for Robert's system and his teachers.”

“Robert's strict attitude towards his art means nothing is diluted. All strikes, defense and counter strikes must be clear and precise. It forces me to think and be aware of all situations.”

“There are small subtle movements often missed by other instructors. Robert explains why all these movements are important, from a small movement of your feet to a simple leaning forward or backward. They all have purposes.”

Kevin - student
