SERAIAH MMA BIO
The journey to this point has been a trying and intense experience and Brian "Seraiah" finds himself caught in the middle of a paradox where the spiritual pacifist and the hardcore competitor collide.
Being ranked Top 20 in the United States as Division 1 Wrestler he continues he pursuit of excellence as he now steps into the cage instead of onto the mat. The transition to MMA was easy to make and he has been educating himself on styles and fighting systems and cultivating internal power through Chinese Qigong and Meditation. Undefeated as an amateur fighter he has stepped up the Next Level and had joined the Pro Ranks in the #145 Featherweight Class?
His talents quickly caught the eye of Top Colorado Promoter, Sven Bean, Ring of Fire, and has since then appeared on ROF 31, 32, and 33 as well as Sven's Battlequest 7 event. Having a strong stage presence, charismatic persona and exciting fighting style, he is catching a lot of attention from fans, promoters and sponsors.
As a Rising Pro Prospect he is just beginning his career so keep your eyes out for Brian "Seraiah" Wood as he makes his way into the very competitive world of Mixed Martial Arts.
Brian "Seraiah" Wood has a variety of styles and systems blending harmoniously into one expression. Grappling and submission are his strength but he is focusing a lot of attention on Chinese Shaolin & Wing Chun Kung Fu.
He also spend time working on Muay Thai Kickboxing and the Philippine Bladefighting System, Pekiti Tirsia Kali. With his ground game being the foundation of his fighting style, he has been putting a lot of time working GI in traditional GRACIE Jiu Jitsu trying to tighten up his guard, defense and submissions.
He learns very quickly and tries to take the most proficient and productive techniques and makes them apart of his arsenal instantly. Being a teacher and coach also, he tries to breakdown techniques and makes them better or more effective to his own body type and abilities.
Training 6-7 days a week has always been a part of his life and it is Mixed Martial Arts that has become his newest Professional competitive outlet. MMA is a very personal form of Self-Expression for Seraiah and something he is taking very seriously.

He does an excellent job of demonstrating great technique while also stressing the urgency of taking care of yourself and your opportunities to compete at a high level. This past year, Brian did a wonderful job of adding yoga training to our camp systems. He did a great job of demonstrating the techniques and relaying the importance of yoga in wrestling. I think he did a great job of opening some eyes and made believers out of our campers.
Brian is a great public speaker. His personality and character attract not only the attention of the campers, but the parents as well. Brian Woods practices what he preaches as is evident by his physical and mental stature."
