Adam Lurie

Instructor

Adam became fascinated with martial arts as a boy watching reruns of the old T.V. series Kung Fu. He first studied Shotokan Karate and later Aikido, but it wasn’t until he was introduced to Tai Chi Chuan and the Tao Te Ching during college that he began to see the deep and beneficial connection between training the mind and the body through practicing martial arts. Searching for that connection, Adam came to The Chinese Martial Arts School in 2001. Adam studied both Praying Mantis Kung Fu and Wu Tai Chi Chuan with Sifu Torres on and off for many years, finally buckling down and achieving recognition as a Man of Arrival in 2014. During that time Adam also earned a Master of Arts in Teaching, and he now teaches at a neighborhood CPS elementary school in addition to assisting with instruction at The Chinese Martial Arts school.
