Ardito Defence Academy Ardito Defence Academy (A.D.A) Master Robert Ardito Shiu Lung Kung Fu
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

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.

Almost 24 years ago, I lost mum… yet not a single day passes where I don’t think of her.

I still remember you smiling as you told me how I never wanted to take off my little blue & white sailor suit.(see below picture).

No matter where we went, I wore it proudly because to me, being beside you was the safest, happiest place in the world.

As the years pass, memories become more precious than words can explain. I would give anything just to hear your voice one more time, to see your smile, or feel your hand in mine again.

People say time heals, but some losses simply become part of your soul.

Happy Mothers Day 💐,
Loved forever
Forgotten never
RIP Ada (Gallo) Ardito ❤️

AEGIDŌ — The 4D Martial Art System
3D Structure, 4D Control, The Path of the Shield

AEGIDŌ (Ay‑jee‑doh), taught exclusively at A.D.A. Martial Arts, is a revolutionary martial art where defence becomes unstoppable offence. Built around the unique 3D vortex guard, your arms and legs form a living shield, constantly spinning, resetting, and advancing, absorbing pressure, breaking attacks, and dominating space effortlessly. Through the exclusive 4DA system, practitioners control distance, rhythm, reaction windows, and opponent intent, neutralising threats before impact. Created by Master Robert Ardito, decades in the making, AEGIDŌ is a fully original, real-world proven system designed to work against all styles, with unique biomechanics tested through strong resistance to break locks and holds. Train smarter, Move with certainty, Become the shield

The Meaning Behind the new AEGIDŌ Logo

The AEGIDŌ logo is more than a symbol, it’s a global emblem of ultimate martial mastery. Inspired by the legendary Shiu Lung (Bruce Lee’s nickname) Kung Fu dragon and rooted in the ancient Aegis shield, it represents supreme protection, authority, and control. Every element embodies AEGIDŌ’s unique principles and biomechanical mastery, vortex guard, 3D structural alignment, 4D timing, and the precision of the AEGIDŌ Swords, designed to capture, redirect, and dominate traditional weapons. Rising like a phoenix, it symbolizes resilience, precision, and the evolution of martial skill for warriors worldwide, uniting shield, sword, and mastery into a single, unforgettable emblem

I am your middle child, Robbie the cheeky one,
as you always called me !

I miss you in the quiet moments,
your cooking,
jam and cream on warm, baked scones.
Even as the world moves on, your love remains.
Everything you taught me
lives gently in my heart.

In my lifetime,
I will always find the time to remember you,
honour you,
and celebrate your life.

Thank you for being my mum.

Love your son,
Robert
