Sifu Matthew is a physical empath. Let us explain: The forty-one-year-old martial arts instructor remembers standing on the judo mat thirty-five years ago feeling a lot more than most six-year-olds. “When my instructor would uproot and throw an opponent, I could feel it acutely in my nervous system, but I didn’t have a vocabulary for it at that time,” says Matthew. At night, he could feel energy running through his body like waves of water or bolts of electricity. Was his body interacting with some extraordinary force?
Applying his method to his own body helped reverse his symptoms. Now, in his West Coast practice (he travels all over), the Martial Arts of Wellness, Matthew is known as the “injury whisperer.”
