About Us
Welcome to Tai Chi Kung Fu Tao, or "the way of supreme, ultimate skill acquired through hard work and practice."
Sihing Brian Weaver began his study of traditional Chinese martial arts under Sifu Chris Goodbar at Laughing Dragon Kung Fu in Charlottesville, Virginia. There he studied the Jow Ga and Mizong styles of Kung Fu and assisted with the instruction of children's classes. While in Charlottesville he gained additional teaching experience at the University of Virginia where he earned his PhD.
After moving to Olympia, Washington he continued his studies at China Tai Chi Kung Fu under Grandmaster Zhu Bi-Sheng, Sifu Wes Letioa, and Sifu Alan Byar in Hung Gar and Northern Long Fist Kung Fu as well as a variety of internal arts including Yang style Tai Chi, Chen style Tai Chi, Liu He Ba Fa, Wudang Sword, Bagua, Qigong, and other contemporary arts. Brian taught Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Qigong, and balance/mobility classes in Washington from 2019 to 2023 at multiple martial arts schools, fitness studios, senior organizations and communities, and the South Sound Behavioral Hospital.
In addition to regular classes and private lessons, Brian has also taught seminars at Evergreen State College and Providence St. Peter Family Medicine. After moving back to Virginia in 2023, Brian is excited to now offer regular classes in the City of Staunton with the goals of helping students improve their health and fitness with traditional martial arts training, developing practical self-defense skills through modern application, and having fun while learning the history and culture of these interesting and enriching arts.

There is always more to learn in both martial arts and in life. We are forever students.
