Atado – What’s It All About ?

The Oxford Far Eastern Club, though leaning towards Jui Jitsu has its roots in Chinese Kung Fu and has developed over the years incorporating a wide range of techniques from various other martial arts so as to give a well rounded ability to the student, rather than concentrating on a narrower style which limits the options for self-defence.

The Oxford club combines its original style with techniques from Aikido, Judo, Wing Chun, Karate, Kick Boxing and includes full use of, and range of defences to attacks from knife, gun, staff, sword, chair etc as well as techniques involving multiple attackers.

The Oxford club syllabus includes:

How to avoid and repel attacks;

How to restrain, control and disarm an attacker;

Counter striking, disarming weapons – whether standing or on the ground. Brazilian style groundwork is also incorporated.

Defences from aggressive holds, strikes, kicks, and attacks with a variety of weapons, e.g. knife, gun, sword, staff, chair etc.

Learn to throw people and be thrown;

Practice useful forms or katas, e.g. Tar Fong Khuen Moh Chow and Tai Chi Chuan to improve skill set, breathing and balance.
