Atado Ju Jitsu Club Oxford
Martial Arts Club in Oxford, Oxfordshire
Though training discipline is essential for safety, there is no overly regimental approach to learning and no one is expected to perform beyond their capabilities. Our style can be adapted to meet any size or age (over 16 yrs) and female and male students train together and grade together to ensure a realistic application of techniques. There is no reliance on strength or body size. You'll get fitter whilst developing a practical and useful skill through training. You will learn defences to and escapes from aggressive holds, strikes, kicks, and attacks with a range of weapons.

Club History
read moreOur club's roots are in Kung Fu as was practised in China and Mongolia. The earliest form was based on instinctive reactions of self-defence, relied on muscle power and was called 'Go Ti' meaning 'horn gore' as early practitioners tied horns to their heads and charged at each other. The Japanese interpretation for Go Ti is now the familiar form known as 'SUMO'. The first recorded date for Go Ti is 2865BC. Our 'WHITE TIGER' martial art style of Ao Tai Tao (ATADO) was created in the 1950s by Malayan born Grand Master 'Edward' Leong Fu (1932 - 1991).
Training
read moreTraining is preceded by a warm up session - essentially to relax the muscles to prevent strains. This may involve a selection of movements around the mat, press-ups, sit-ups, rotation exercises, limb stretching etc. The degree of exercise is proportionate to the level of the trainee, so your fitness will progressively improve. You will never be asked to do more than you feel capable of. You will learn how to avoid confrontation, how to break the balance of an attacker, to restrain them and disarm them - whether standing or by taking them to the floor.
