WEAPONS Brian "Seraiah" Wood was intrigued by Bruce Lee and kung fu films at an early age and began experimenting with num chucks and movements. He soon realized that regardless of weapon the body moved in certain ways to accommodate specific movements and these movements were similar with interchangeable weapons in use.
Then in 2006 he met Guro Stephen Joffe (Boulder - MartialWorks.com) and began studying the advanced Pekiti Tirsia Kali Close Quarters Bladefighting System from the Philippines. The system is deep in wisdom and proven effectiveness as it is the weapons system of choice for the Philippines Military.
Recently in 2009 he began studying Shaolin Weapons under World Champion Gold Medalist, Master Christophe Clark. (MasterClarke.com). The . Short and Long Staff along with the Broadsword. are the weapons currently being learned and the focus is Championship Performance and Choreography dedicated to honoring . Authentic Chinese Martial Arts. .

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."
