Adam Willis (aka Adam Williss) is the founder of The Dragon Institute and its online Wing Chun school (wingchunlessons.com). He is a southern California-based martial artist and Wing Chun Kung Fu specialist. Adam Willis has educated, empowered and entertained individuals through his seminars, websites, articles, publications and speaking engagements. He has trained numerous professionals, athletes and corporate executives. A speaker to groups ranging from employees of large corporations to university students, Adam Willis and his work has been featured in several publications both online and in print. His teachings are based on the integration of concepts found within Eastern time-tested methods and Western modern technology. He refers to his approach as Dragon Family Wing Chun. It is a unique, ever-evolving method of self-defense and hand-to-hand combat practiced at The Dragon Institute. It emphasizes maximum threat neutralization in a real life, practical context. It takes self-defense to its most devastating in-fighting range literally putting an opponent on the defense. Dragon Family Wing Chun is not a sport, and there are no competitions. All movements focus on maximum efficiency in realistic conditions. It generally assumes that an attacker will give no quarter. Therefore, responses are intended for use in potentially life threatening situations. Devastating attacks to vulnerable body parts, bareknuckle / empty hand strikes, headbutts, elbows, and other efficient and life-saving attacks are emphasized. Adam's true love is the art of Wing Chun. His unique view of the art is comparable to the view of Taoism - undefinable, elusive and all-encompassing. Adam is an inductee of the United States Martial Arts Hall of Fame, is an Associate Member of the International Kung Fu Federation, State of California Representative for The System Wing Chun Gung Fu, International Combat Martial Arts Unions Association, United States Kuo Shu Federation, Hong Kong Ving Tsun Athletic Association, National Qigong Association and many more. When not hosting seminars, publishing or writing, Adam can be found at his home in southern California working with his local full-time students.
