I haven’t written about the Trumpster in quite some time, but today is one of those days where I’m going to let my hair down (pretending I have some).

If you take a look at Trump’s golf swing, you’ll note that for a man of any age, it’s a work of art, even with a bit of a belly and a decent-sized bee-hind.

No, it’s not the Art of the Deal. It’s the Art of the Donald Trump Swing.

It’s the use of coiling, spiraling energy from the bottoms of your feet through the ankles, knees, hips, spine and torso, all the way to the top of the head, exiting out the hands.

This spiraling movement is the exact opposite of what is done in the weight room to get bigger, stronger and faster. In the weight room you are taught to do exercises that tighten and shorten your muscles, which is a bad idea if you want to maximize the intrinsic power of the spiraling motion.

There is no way that a regimen of deadlifts, squats and bench pressing will translate to a better golf swing, a better baseball swing or the throwing of a ball. You need only look at Tiger Woods, whose golf swing was never better when he was a younger, leaner man. All the bulk he added did not help him drive the ball further. Not only that, I believe it invited a host of unwanted injuries.

In golf you stand perfectly still, consciously or unconsciously drawing energy from the ground as you ready yourself to strike the ball. You go backwards before you go forward… then… WHAMMO. You knock the ball out of sight.

This type of power cannot be amplified or duplicated with push-pull exercises that isolate or combine various muscle groups.

But it most certainly can kick into high gear when you learn to stand perfectly still and make contact with the spiraling tissues of your body.

Yessir, that’s a fact, and it’s what I teach in my Power Postures course.

Want a more forceful golf swing? Want to hit or throw any type of ball (all spiraling motions) harder and further – then take a serious look at what I have to offer.

It will change your life and your game for the BETTER.

Hell yeah!

Kick ass – take names.

Hi Matt,
I’m around 125 kg right now and am interested in getting your Combat Conditioning System, but I have a question. You mentioned that you can lose inches with this program but isn’t the logic that you have to diet in order to lose weight and exercise isnt going to do much? I tried searching online about this but every website has different things to say. I trust your words and ready to listen so say what you already know.

Thanks
Amar

Hi Amar,
Here’s the straight scoop: People can and do lose inches, as well as weight through exercise alone. Sadly, some people don’t. Those who exercise and don’t lose weight are oftentimes the ones following diets. The diet may work temporarily but because it is unsustainable, they eventually gain back the weight that was lost (and then some). Calorie counting and such is a complete waste of time. Your mind and body will always rebel, not at first, but eventually.

Just as your body needs rest to recover from exercise, your internal organs need rest to function at their optimum. I suggest you begin with exercise alone and track your progress for 90 days. Chances are excellent you’ll be pleasantly surprised. If and when you decide to ramp up your results, I’ll have more information for you then.

There are dozens of ways to take a healthy sit. Today, I’ll give you five.

1. Sit on the floor with your legs spread as wide as they will go. Keep your back as straight as possible.

2. Sit on the floor with one leg folded into your crotch and the other straight in front of you.

3. Sit on the floor with the bottoms of your feet together.

4. Sit in a deep squat position.

5. Sit in a deep squat position with both of your hands raised above your head.

If the last two are two difficult for you at this time, you can support yourself against a wall.

Once you’re in each of these positions you can work to double your flexibility and mobility by using the breathing method and the other secrets I reveal in my Combat Stretching course.

​​​​​​​Have at it – and if your sit turns into a run to toilet for a healthy sh-it, don’t blame me.

Contrary to popular mainstream B.S….

Sitting is not worse for you than smoking… much less toking or drinking a fifth of Jackie Daniels. 

Sitting is one of the best things you can do to get your mind and body primed and ready for almost anything. But I’m not talking about sitting in a recliner (although that’s good to do at times, too). 

The kind of sitting I am advocating is on the freaking floor.

Plop your ass on the ground, also known as Mother Earth to the Newly Aged, and feel the nourishment take place as you find all your weaknesses, kinks, knots and uncomfy tight spots. 

For most, this won’t take long. And you won’t be singing slamalamadingdong

You’ll be aching where most men have ached before, and all these pains will become pleasurable… if you stay on the ground and learn how to turn them into increased mobility and flexibility.

If you spend a lot of time chair sitting, balance out your body by getting a good amount floor time.

It may not be fun at first, but when your kinks and knots turn into springs and slingshots, you’ll thank me.

For more, take a gander at Combat Stretching.

Can you really double your flexibility and mobility in one evening?

Aspiring minds may want to know – and they’re doing it.

“Now way,” you say.

Click here to uncover how they did it.

Inflexible muscles represent an inflexible mind.

You don’t need to be able to do every stretch in existence for your mind to open, but if “everything” is tight, that’s not good.

Your hamstrings are especially important as we tend to store stress, anxiety and so on in those areas.

But when your hamstrings are flexible, you can feel a release in your brain and this release leads to a letting-go feeling of well-being.

When you “let go” you walk taller and run faster – and if you want to kick ass, you do so with far greater ease.

You don’t need to be Johnny or Joni Yogananda to get your hamstrings loose.

And it doesn’t take forever and a day.

You can learn to practically double the flexibility in your hamstrings in one session, IF you follow my methods.

Combat Stretching will show you the way – giving you an unmistakeable swag in your sway.

I did the unthinkable years ago. I got a tattoo of a leprechaun on my shoulder.

’twas taken from a picture in my now out-of-print book, The Martial Art of Wrestling (1996), where there’s a still photo of me shadow-wrestling in the fireman’s carry position.

Turns out that the leprechaun caused me to win the world championships in shuaijiao kung, in Beijing, in 1997. My winning gold had nothing to do with how I trained or how I used my mind. It was all pure luck.

Going further, I added a four-leaf clover to my outer ankle, to reinforce said “luck.” And doing so brought me innumerable gifts and talents, none of which I trained in, worked on or even studied, hehehehehehehe.

Last week three Irish “thugs” showed up at me house. All of them kung fu masters and brick breakers. The main man, Sifu Keith Fanning, sat in my ostentatious abode and told me how the three of them set a world record in Orlando, where they broke 176 bricks in 10 seconds.

After talking for over an hour, Sifu told me how he’s been following me for over 20 years, how he got Combat Conditioning when it first came out, and how most of the people he’s met in Ireland who swear by it, are not martial artists.

How about that?

At this point, John, one of Sifu’s students, says that he warned the head-brick breaker, before they drove up from Miami, “Be careful of meeting your heroes. They usually disappoint.”

“I’m no one’s hero,” I replied.

They laughed.

Then we went outside to do a little fightin’, an Irish pastime, but all of us were a bit disappointed that the fighting failed to commence. Instead, the Sifu and I exchanged ideas for another hour or so, well into the dark of that Hell-o-ween night.

Trick or treaters were in full regalia, going from house to house with mummy and daddy helicoptering. They asked why I don’t have any decorations on the house or in the yard, such as the 12-foot monsters they noted driving into my area.

“I don’t participate. I’m the Grinch of Hell-o-ween,” I said.

After three hours of yakking, we went to a restaurant to eat. As the meal was finished, I was asked, “So when you coming to Dublin?”

In reply I says, “I don’t know. I’ll need to find one helluva an excuse.”

Well, this morning I gets me a message from another Irisher, this one being 43, and female and a former gymnast, and a personal trainer, who no longer lives in Ireland.

She writes, “Hi Matt, I am glad you’re one of the few trainers out there who is spreading the message of the lazy way to workout or easy way to get in shape.

For years being a former Athlete and then getting into personal training I had that problem too where it was ingrained at the back of my head that u need to push beyond failure or till failure, if there’s no pain, so there’s no gain, and pain is weakness leaving the body. But when I switched to leaving few reps in the bank, starting small but being consistent and doing the same for my clients it’s helped tremendously. There needs to be more people like u in this world, especially those who are promoting calisthenics for strength and endurance.”

Emily continuing by asking the question everyone wants to know: “Do you still do Hindu squats and pushups?”

Here my answer: “I can still do Hindu this and that, and bridge and so on, but the majority of my training is in the Power Postures course and the martial arts training I do.”

I might add, I can still do the exercises in Combat Conditioning, and better than ever before, even though I don’t work on them much, and usually only do them when I demonstrate. I also do a fair amount of other exercises on the mat, similar but different from what I teach in Combat Stretching.

Emily then raved about the Power Postures course, which made my day.

So there you have it, the Lucky Leprechaun Fitness Secret.

What is it?

Getting more from doing less in an intelligent and strategic way.

P.S. Here’s the link – PowerPostures.com 

Several years ago I read the writings of a great author who claims (and recommends to others) a muse to inspire him and give him ideas.

I found the notion of having a muse quite amusing.

I don’t have one and don’t want one because I am in contact with leprechauns and such, who whisper secrets to me day and night.

Heh!

Well, yesterday I got an email from Musa – who is not a muse. And this man of 23 years, wrote me the following:

“I was a little skeptical of Power Postures, but its pretty legit. The weird thing I didn’t realize but my recovery feels better.

My body feels more solid and my body is recovering faster from workouts.”

Here’s my answer: Musa, Keep in mind you’ve had the program for only a week. The positive results accumulate. As you do the training, you will notice yourself getting looser throughout all your joints, as well as stronger in ways you’ve never experienced before. 

Another question came from India, where a man with the name, Kumar, asked about the breathing in the program:

“I enjoy your Power Postures. I want to know if you inhale through nose and exhale nose, the way we do in Yoga.”

Kumar,

 You inhale through nose and exhale out mouth. This allows for you to relax away unnecessary tension. If you prefer your way, then do it the way you want. But when you’re doing the fast-twitch explosive exercises, I would encourage you to exhale out the mouth. That’s important. 

And then I got another email, this one from outerspace:

“Matt, this is Yu Ef Oh. Do you think the earth is flat? I’m up here and I cannot see the round ball so well.”

Answer: “I don’t care if it’s flat or if it’s round. I just wish the darn thing would produce more balanced people with stillness of mind.”

This concludes today’s Q&A section.

Yesterday a man sent me a message that would’ve gotten me banned not that long ago. See below. My comments will follow:

Hey Matt good afternoon. Just wanted to shoot you a line about my experience with Power Postures.

As I mentioned last time we communicated I was looking to find access to Chinese Long Life course due to the energizing drug like effect it had on me. It pumped me up so much that I made sure that I hit the routine every time before a major competition when I competed.

So anyways fast forward to a couple days ago. I was a few days in of going through a bout of Corona virus. Feeling like crap I decided to take action on your course.

Being highly motivated I worked through all the exercises and even did mini routines of them throughout the day. And low and behold that same type of energy I felt from Chinese Long Life was felt. I actually felt better than I had in awhile regardless if I was sick or healthy.

I just want to thank you for always putting out great work. You do an excellent job at distilling profound information in a down to earth style that gets to the point and produces results💪

Shane B.

Shane, that is truly awesome. So glad you found this program doing for you what the former one did.

Truth is, the Power Postures course will take you much further. I debated with myself for years before releasing this information as the exercises are that incredible. I say, “They make sheeple into people and people into powerhouses.”

And it is such a simple method that most people will overlook it or scoff at it. That’s fine by me. We don’t want everyone to be an ass-kicker now, do we? If everyone knew and practiced this stuff, it would make it harder to bring home the gold so often, hehe.

Continued success to you, my friend.

Alrighty then. Watcha gonna do?

If I were you, I’d go to Power Postures and get this program NOW – but that’s just me. And Shane. And all the other butt-kickers.
