WOMEN’S CLASSES
The A.D.A women’s program is a unique martial arts system perfectly designed for women who are not physically strong or aggressive by nature. Sadly, many women have lived with the threat or reality of violence. Women’s classes teach tactics for responding to dangerous situations, with a focus on real-life scenarios common in domestic violence and sexual assault.
By training in a safe space, you can find inner strength that doesn’t rely on muscles and build calm, quiet confidence that radiates from the inside out. You’ll learn to remain steady under pressure, knowing you have developed vital skills that can assist you in all situations.
The classes focus on: –
- Calm – To encourage inner peacefulness and tranquillity

AAA CLASSES
Students attending adult A.D.A syllabus classes are eligible to attend Triple A Class (Assess, Alert, Act). Focused on putting curriculum moves into practice, AAA classes move at a faster pace through real world scenarios. You’ll practice staying calm while under attack from multiple opponents or when threatened with knives and other weapons.
By preparing for real life scenarios in a classroom setting you can learn to assess the situation, be alert and act accordingly.
CHI SAU
Chi Sau translates as ‘Sticking Hands’ (also known as ‘rolling’) and is a training drill designed to develop offensive or defensive close range reflex combat skills where there is physical contact between two or more people. A.D.A rolling differs from traditional Wing Chun through the use of the orientated low, medium-high and high guard positions (opposed to the traditional fook sau on one side and tan/bong sau on the other).
Chi Sau classes train you to find or create gaps within your opponent’s defence and strike through safely, while ensuring you don’t leave gaps where your opponent can strike back.
About the School
Our mission is to equip people with an evolved martial arts toolset that will be valuable throughout their lives. No prior knowledge of martial arts is required to train with us. As soon as you join an A.D.A class, you’ll learn unique, effective, practical skills. Our School provides a supportive, family-friendly and encouraging learning environment where students are taught the A.D.A discipline safely; with correct technique. We also teach traditional martial arts values including respect, restraint and self-control. Knowing when and how to walk away, defuse a situation or be able to defend yourself (if there’s no other option) is at the heart of the A.D.A system.

ABOUT A.D.A KUNG FU
A.D.A does not borrow from other martial arts, trying to incorporate them into a patchwork fashion. Such a system would merely be a list of disconnected techniques. Rather, A.D.A is a cohesive whole, developed by advancing and creating new Wing Chun principles, where every move exists in a logical framework, and its purpose and practical application are readily demonstrated.
A.D.A brings increased power to the traditional art of Wing Chun, with biomechanically informed application of torso, elbow, and forearm rotations.
ABOUT MASTER ROBERT
Master Robert Ardito’s Kung Fu training lineage traces back 300 years to the founder of Wing Chun – Ng Mei.
