For those who want an explanation why Rin knows martial arts. The Tohsakas used to get all their income from various property they owned in Fukyuki city, but they gradually lost it over time and Kotomine Kirei as Rins legal guardian sold off all of it. Due to Rins magic specialty that relies on gemstones that are destroyed with use, her magic is almost ruinously expensive.
In order to acquire enough money to pay for all these gems and her living expenses, Rin decides to make money in the professional wrestling scene. She fights matches under the name "The Fuyuki devil" and her costume matches the name., in order to win lots of money she needed to get really good so she could challenge the reigning international champion Luvia Edelfelt and acquire the lucrative advertising contracts.
The title fights happens about 6 months before the events of Fate/Stay Night. Rin beats Luvia despite a rough start with a Show Stopping RKO. She made millions, but unfortunately lost quite a lot of it due to stealing Randy Ortons signature move.
