About Mr. Matthews
Mr. Ben Matthews has a lifelong passion for the Marital Arts. His training began at the age of 8 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Fortunate to train under several talented instructors, Grandmaster Randolph S. Smith and Master Joe LaFrance, Mr. Matthews learned at a young age that hard work breeds success and insight. Growing up in the Martial Arts, he was enthralled with the athletic qualities of the sport and enjoyed competing in many tournaments - achieving success at the national level.
As his training has continued through the years, Mr. Matthews enjoys incorporating the benefits of physical training with the thousands-year-old philosophical underpinning of the art. Ben attributes the lessons he has learned through his years of practice in helping him build personal resilience and confidence to take on life's many challenges. Thus, one of his primary motivators is helping his students also apply their personal lessons, obtained in class, to their everyday lives. He looks forward to remaining a steward of the martial arts knowledge for years to come and helping others derive the same benefits from the art that he has.
