Don "The Dragon" Wilson (born September 10, 1954 in Illinois) is an American champion kickboxer and actor. He is most famous for his acting roles in action-adventure films; including nine titles in Roger Corman 's Bloodfist series. His first film was Cormans "Killer Instinct".
Wilson had a long and successful career in the ring. He was perhaps the best known and most successful kickboxer of his era. He was one of the very few American kickboxers of the time (the 1980s) to travel to Thailand and compete in Muay Thay under local rules. These rules differed from the kickboxing rules prevalent in the West at the time, in that American kickboxing generally allowed only kickboxing above the waist, together with boxing techniques. Muay Thai, on the other hand, allowed then as now leg kicks, elbows and knees (delivered usually during a clinch).
Often Western kickboxing of the era was undertaken with leg guards, forbidden in Thailand where the fighters would have had a lifetime of conditioning their shins. As a result, most Westerners facing Thais were defeated by unfamiliarity with Thai leg-checking techniques and by the superior conditioning of the Thais. Seen in that context, Wilson's record of two defeats in Thailand on points is more credable, as is his decision to fight in Thailand in the first place.
