Established 2003

A New Generation of Kung Fu !! I named this system “Evolved Wing Chun”.

Always with great respect to my past traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Masters Sifu Jim Fung and Sigung Tsui Seung Tin for everything they taught me in Wing Chun Kung Fu. Over the last 15 years, I have developed and created a new system of Kung Fu. At the time, EWC was a perfect name as I was continually evolving the art of Wing Chun. Through many years of practical testing, I created new unique princ

iples to strengthen certain areas of Wing Chun Kung Fu. Over the years of teaching, I could see my students struggle in certain Kung Fu training areas. While teaching and sparring, I witnessed a sense of fear in my students faces. They would struggle to defend themselves against the random attacks I would use sparring against them. This gave me the determination to fix and create a new form of Kung Fu to replace their fear with empowerment. Over the years, I developed practical, unique principles to help students escape from fast, free sparring attacks, strong grips & holds, wall pins, holds on the floor, attacks against knives and multiple attacks. I created a practical tool kit of several moves. Once proficient at these moves, the Kung Fu student would have the tools to work out how to escape and protect themselves against all unlimited types of attacks. I took out the components of strength and speed. Going slow would ensure the student would develop a strong foundation while improving their skill and effectiveness on all moves. (Speed is a component that you can always add in later. The total surrender of muscular strength was necessary for my new system to prevail)

The safety element and the “what if” for every move were also built into my new system. Because of the naturally occurring changes with EWC, a completely new Kung Fu system was created. I now believe it is time to look at a new name for my unique Kung Fu system. I would like to formally announce that EWC is now in completion. From this day forward, EWC will be known as

ADA Kung Fu

Ardito Defence Academy. (Wing Chun Origins)

ADA Kung Fu is a unique practical modern self-defence system that was created to save lives. Ardito Defence Academy's strength lies in its unique Defensive system developed with powerful strikes that have been created for anyone of any anatomy to use, with no limitations. I would like to personally thank all my Kung Fu students, Kung Fu brothers & sisters and followers for their patience and continued support during this time. Regards

A Day to Remember !!

What an incredible day of grading last Saturday!

I was very proud and impressed by every student. Seeing their progress, determination and growing AEGIDŌ skills was a powerful reminder of what can be achieved through discipline, commitment and belief in yourself.

Every step forward matters and last Saturday, I saw so many students take another step towards becoming stronger, more confident and more empowered.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came along to watch, support and encourage our students, and to our incredible Team who attended on the day, Instructor Rob, Head Trainer Hayden, Assistant trainers Nikki & Rayden and Admin Mgr Michelle for everything you do behind the scenes.

I couldn’t be more proud of you all.

Congratulations!
To Dennis, who has reached the prestigious Black Sash level. Your unwavering dedication, discipline, and heart for AEGIDŌ have been truly inspiring. This achievement is a powerful reflection of the countless hours, sweat, and spirit you’ve poured into your journey.

And to Instructor Rob, who has earned his Black Sash / First Degree. As a closed-door student of mine, you have consistently shown extraordinary skill and a natural gift for the AEGIDŌ system. Your passion for mastering the skills and forms, combined with your remarkable ability to teach and uplift so many students, is nothing short of amazing.
Congratulations to you both. I am incredibly proud of you and look forward with great anticipation to the next chapter of your AEGIDŌ journey.
With deep respect,
