Sifu Matthew Cohen is creator and founder of Sacred Energy Arts (SEA), a unique, integrated system of health and self-development drawing from the teachings of qigong, martial arts, and yoga. He has been immersed in the study and application of martial, yogic, and healing arts for more than 40 years.

Matthew began teaching movement for health and fitness at Toyota in 1984. In 1998, a life-altering accident led him to explore alternative therapies, including bodywork, acupuncture, qigong, and energy medicine. Combining his expertise, he began teaching martial arts, qigong, and yoga professionally, alongside his work as a manual therapist.

Inspired by the fusion of these disciplines, he created Sacred Energy Arts (SEA), an integrated approach that blends qigong, martial arts, yoga, healing, poetry, and adventure. He has shared SEA with diverse individuals working in a variety of fields, including CEOs, actors, and professional athletes.
