I've been training with Sifu Adam Williss & his senior student Derrick Mansell for about a year now.
The dedication & compassion that goes into thier Wing Chun Kung Fu teachings surpasses the physical (fighting) aspects of the self-defense martial art, but does not neglect it. Adam encourages building character & a calm spirit through physical meditation & consistent training/sparring. Attention to detail & hard work are prerequisites if you really want to excel, luckily those disciplines can be learned here as well. Efficiency is the goal; This isn't your flashy Bruce Lee spinkick Kung Fu school. Here you will be taught practical self-defense that is geared towards defending real world dangerous encounters.
Most of all, Adam cares more about his students than any teacher I've ever had, be it grade school or martial arts. He truly believes anyone can overcome every hardship through Wing Chun, & that philosophy shows in his method.
Adam & Derrick provide the proper tools for success if you provide the proper enthusiasm...
Read moreThe Dragon Institute,....there are so many great things about this school...far too many to be able to mention all of them here. What I can say is that this is truly a place of "higher learning"......
If you want to learn superior self-defense that works in "real-life" situations, and allows you to protect yourself and your loved ones, the Dragon is the school for you.
But while I have learned unquestionably effective self-defense, Adam and Derrick teach you so much more. They have taught me some valuable core principles. Through these core values, I continue to grow, ..as a student, a father, and a friend. The Dragon has changed my life in a most positive way, since I walked into the school almost 4 years ago. After the first class, I went home and said, "I'm going to do this for the rest of my life!"
I could not recommend a better school for self-defense, and life improvement for you and your family, than the Dragon Institute.
You truly owe it to yourself to check it out!
Thank you Adam, Derrick,...
Read moreIn the few months that I've been doing Wing Chun, I've been taught multiple lessons that have carried over into every aspect of my life. One of the simplest things Sifu Willis taught me (the importance of keeping the tip of the tongue to the roof of the mouth) has affected how I breath and walk every single day. The principles of form that Wing Chun teaches have carried over into every action I take. It's simple, core lessons like these that are applicable to every day life that have honestly changed how I live. Sifu Adam Willis is a beast and I'm pretty sure he could give Goku a run for his money, which is not something I say lightly. It has numerous health benefits for the physical body as well as the mind, great instructors and friends, and people that will come at you as hard as you want them to or as soft as you want them to. I'm extremely happy to have the new Irvine location so close to me and can't wait to have many, many more rounds of sparring...
