Robert A. Gott was born on April 8th 1955 in Buffalo, New York. He began his journey in the martial arts in 1971, after a friend, a first degree black belt in Judo, offered to teach him Judo. A few years later, after having moved to Hamburg, New York he began studying Kempo Karate @ American Self Studios. While working at the steel plant a co-worker suggested he meet Master Wong and Sifu Mandarino and for the next 28 years studied Kung Fu under their guidance.

Sifu Gott, having trained under the guidance of Master Ting Fong Wong and Sifu Mandarino is one of only three students to achieve the rank of Third Degree Black Sash and has almost thirty of training and teaching experience. He has, like his teachers, dedicated himself to the marital arts for almost thirty years and continues to devote himself to the teachings, knowledge and legacy that he has been privileged to achieve. Sifu Gott has successfully competed and performed both nationally and internationally and today, Sifu Gott still believes in the traditional training he learned under the guidance of his teachers.
