Mark Wiley was the first person to conduct martial art anthropological field research among the indigenous MatigSalog tribe of Mindanao, Philippines. At "The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archeology and Anthropology" he examined, classified and identified a portion of the museum’s collection of nearly 1,000 martial artifacts from the Philippines. He has been nominated to four martial art Halls of Fame, but declined induction, feeling such things are too monetarily or politically motivated. He has appeared on the cover of four international magazines and has given several radio and magazine interviews in the United States, England and the Philippines regarding his research, writing and Integrated Modular Training Methodology.
