Sifu Matthew Klein is the co-creator of Sober Martial Arts. He is a Kung Fu, Chi Gong, Wellness Recovery Master and Sober Coach, specializing in the recovery of addictions, chronic injuries, conditions, and all imbalances. His unique forms of knowledge involving the electromagnetism of the body, which he mastered through 4 + decades of Martial Arts’ training, has inspired him to lecture, teach and lead intensives globally. His clients include hedge funds, tech companies, execs, physicians, rehab clinics, athletes, celebs and all people with a deep desire to improve their wellness stature.
He is the lead Sifu of MAOW (The Martial Arts of Wellness), a premiere brand and proprietary system dedicated toward revealing the mysteries of wellness through the science of the Martial Arts. He teaches the MAOW principles to strengthen companies, guide individuals, and create new skillsets for teams to access realms of power and sensitivity, imperative for creativity and manifestation.
Although many of his mentors were excellent fighters and he is skilled in the combat arts, his lifetime’s goal, passion, and focus is using the body’s electromagnetism (chi) for wellness in the fields of leadership, addictions and injuries.
His awareness of body mechanics, intention, position, subtle electro-magnetic fields, and the human capacity to interact with them is the fundamental application he uses to help people understand their weaknesses and addictions so they may rise into an un-imaginable state of wellness and lead from purity.
He creates customized wellness programs for wellness centers and corporate teams and in-care, aftercare, and alumni programs for recovery centers. He can discern hidden weaknesses that cause failures and apply precise MAOW programs that generate wellbeing and elevate productivity.
He has published articles and done numerous podcasts and media appearances. He’s lectured, run clinics and programs at The Carillon Hotel in Miami, The Hale Clinic in London, The Arts Club, Soho House, and many other mainstream venues.
He is a Rabbi and carries black belts in Judo and Jiu Jitsu and is a Sifu (Master) under Sifu Alan Goldberg in Lau Wai Wing Chun Kung Fu. He is certified under Sifu Gerald Sharp to teach Bagua and Liangong (internal and external posture and joint repair), Chi Gong (energy healing) and Five Phases of the Swimming Dragon.
He has also studied Judo under Alexander El Maleh Debunks, Ryohei and Rusty Kanokogi, Radomir Korvochevich and Kiyoshi Shiina. He was trained in Budhist & Taoist meditation / cultivation under Bill Bodri (The Meditation Expert), lead disciple of Master Nan Huai Chin.
