Life Coach, Ancient Medical Qi Gong Master
Matt Cavender
Matt Cavender has studied and practiced Chinese martial arts for over 43 years. At the age of 12, he learned Chinese Kempo Karate to safeguard himself from bullies. It was an effective defensive system that he studied, practiced, and later taught.
​
In his thirties, Matt discerned that martial arts was actually about moving the circulating life force (Chi) and finding the path of least resistance. This inspired the study of Northern Shaolin Long Fist, which Matt practiced and taught for many years, witnessing the benefits in his own life and his students' lives. Seeing the connection between well-being and martial arts, Matt focused on transferring these philosophies into skills for life.
​
It was at this time his greatest teacher appeared. (Sifu was a highly advanced teacher of the Middle Way and a Chi system that dated back over 5000 years, where the very roots of martial arts were born.) Matt immersed himself into these ancient principles. When Matt saw how his life transformed, Matt developed the concepts into a practice called (Chi Gong). It has a unique application of all ages, especially for people between the ages of 60 and 110.
