Last night I had one of the best conversations of all times… in a dream.

In my dream I was talking with Dr. Strong.

The two of us discussed what we are calling “the Deep State Workout.”

Here’s how it works:

1. After you get out of bed in the morning, you remain on your feet until at least noon. At no time do you sit, other than to defecate (quickly – with no reading while you do so).

2. Whenever you have the urge to sit in a chair or upon a sofa, you opt-out and sit in the deep squat position instead. Dr. Strong says this breaks up your training and makes you vigorously healthy.

3. All the exercises you do must engage your feet. This includes walking, jumping, running, squatting, pushups, joint rotations, calisthenics, isometrics, stretching and so on.

4. Seated meditation of any form is not allowed. If you want to meditate, you do so while standing in place or while moving (Dao Zou is an excellent example of an exercise that puts you into a deep  state of bliss without even trying).

5. Keep in mind that standing and moving are the keys to increased energy, health, strength, power and vitality throughout the body. Sitting makes you unhealthy, irritable and weak. Dr. Strong says that staying on your feet all day will turn you into a fat-burning machine.

6. Train your mind-body to do all tasks as you stand on your feet. Respond to emails, talk on the phone, read, watch videos, listen to audios and so on, while standing and/or walking.

In regard to walking, the slower the better. Remember, your objective is to remain on your feet until at least noon (preferably much longer). If you go for a walk then come home to sit, you are doing your body far less good than if you stood in place until noon.

In Dao Zou, two of the many objectives are moving at a super-slow pace to still the mind and gain control over your emotions. One to two miles per hour is ideal. Faster is not better.

Remember: Slowliness is holiness – or in this case, slowliness leads you into a “deep state.”

Your mindset shifts from “getting in shape” to staying on your feet. If you stay on your feet, getting fit will take care of itself.

When you sit, even if it is to “meditate,” you will gradually turn into a blob, and chances are you will also turn into a cantankerous, crotchety old person, long before your time.

For assistance in this program, make sure you invest in Dao Zou. If you already have it, then become a member of the Matt Furey Inner Circle – so I can give you on-going encouragement and advice.

I’ll be posting more videos for you in the Matt Furey Inner Circle on “The Deep State Workout.” These videos will help you activate the latent power within your body-mind and make you a proud patient of Dr. Strong.

In today’s upside-down world, courage is frowned upon while fear is celebrated.

Yet, as is always the case, fear is selectively chosen.

Don’t be afraid to shop at Walmart or Home Depot, but be terrified of going to church, the parks and the beach.

Listen to “scientists,” vaccine-pushers and doctors, but don’t listen to anything POTUS says because he is “dangerous.”

Months of misinformation go by, meanwhile the drug that was touted as “anecdotal” by scientists turns out to be a “game-changer.”

Hmmmm. How about that? Just as el Furecat told you. My fore-casting abilities are uh-mazing.

HCQ to the Rescue.

Taken with some zinc and azithromycin, your chances of crushing this dis-ease with HCQ “may be” much higher… and far, far faster than any other method. And at a far better price.

Don’t know about you, but it makes me wonder why the truth about a drug that’s been used successfully for 70 years, was suppressed. On second thought, it doesn’t make me wonder at all.

Trump knew about HCQ back in March, and said so, but ill-meaning malcontents repositioned this information.

Imagine this: If we mass produce HCQ and make it readily available, perhaps “the only thing we have to fear is fear (and the vaccine) itself.”

HCQ to the Rescue.

Kick ass-take names!

By the way, many of my products, such as Combat Conditioning, Gama Fitness, Primate Power and Dao Zou are now in digital format and available for immediate download.

You have deep connections to your brain that run through your buttocks – and I’m guessing you probably never thought about such a thing.

These deep connections begin in your feet and connect all the way up to your noggin.

Yet, hardly anyone teaches you how to exercise your feet in a way that increases physical and mental prowess. Hardly anyone teaches you that your toes have acupressure points leading directly to your brain.

We have sayings about mental alertness…  about being “on your toes,” in a state of deep concentration and focus, yet we never consider the how and the why behind these sayings coming into being.

“On your toes” also means you are open to learning new concepts and ideas. We tend to admire those who keep us in suspense.

When it comes to pain and injury in the body, much of it begins in the feet. The feet are made comfortable with thickly padded shoes. The comfort of these shoes gradually turns your feet into a wimpy, limpy appendage. This weakness in the feet moves up the kinetic chain, to the ankles, knees, hips and lower back. But it doesn’t stop there. The entire system is disrupted and affected, including the brain.

There are many reasons I work my feet and toes each and every day. I do so to improve my martial and athletic skill. I also do so to improve the functioning of my brain and nervous system, including my memory, including getting a major supply of feel good neuro-transmitters.

An incredibly fast way to experience a shift in brain-body awareness and get a freely flowing supply of feel good energy is to change the way you walk.

Most ways of walking do not stimulate the feet and the buttocks; they do not give you feel good energy either.

Many of the connections and conclusions I discovered over the years about your feet and the way you walk are in the Dao Zou program I created over 10 years ago.

Although I didn’t explicitly present all the details of the foot, toes, buttocks and brain connection in the program, the reality is that people who practice the exercises experience the results without my having to say so.

When you follow Dao Zou, for example, you naturally shift from being a heel-striker (not good) to someone who lands on the ball of your foot. When you land on the ball of the foot first, you stimulate the kidneys and the toes far more than when you hit the heel first. The K1 acupressure point, near the ball of the foot (also known as the bubbling spring point), releases energy upward. Think of the energy from acupressure point as being similar to the upward flow of water from a geyser.

Land on your heel when you walk or run and the geyser effect is halted. Land on the ball and the geyser of energy shoots upward.

You will feel it in your buttocks and you will feel it in your brain.

This effect can be experienced even when you are sitting with your feet on the ground.

Want to begin experiencing the profound brain-body benefits written about in this message?

Then grab yourself the Dao Zou program and begin feeling the positive stimulation almost immediately.

This program will naturally change the way you think about movement forever.

A huge side-benefit is that it will help you destress for success at a level you never thought possible.

As you unwind your mind, you may even have an aha experience that gives you insight as to why I often sign off with the adage…

Kick ass – take names.

Matt Furey

P.S. Dao Zou is currently available at a substantial discount because of the way it helps to quickly eliminate stress and negative emotion, something I didn’t think about so much when I first created the program. But my experiences over the years showed me that this program is the ultimate when it comes to clearing negative thoughts and emotions from the pipeline.

 

 

The night before last, due to the rain forecast, a friend who trains with me on Sundays, wondered if we were going to get down to business in the morning.

Being there was a 60% chance of rain, I told him I thought the odds looked good.

He showed up at 8 AM and we trained for a couple hours in humid as hell weather. No rain whatsoever. Man, did we sweat. Holy rain buckets.

We began by practicing a number of bodyweight exercises that emphasize strengthening the tendons, ligaments and fascia, followed by tai chi.

I explained to him that the front of the body is mostly for show, and in terms of overall athleticism and martial skill, it plays a secondary role.

The key to superior skill lies in tapping the power of the unseen. In this case I’m referring to the fascia, as well as the tendons and ligaments.

Yes, your muscles can and do benefit when you train the fascia, but your focus is not on them.

For example, when someone watches me doing Hindu squats, it’s not uncommon to hear: “Great quad burn.” This person thinks Hindu squats are for the quadriceps muscles on the front of the upper leg.

At one time I thought the same. But Hindu squats are not for the quads and if that’s where you are feeling them, you are missing out. Yes, the quads definitely benefit from Hindu squats, but the exercise is not for feeling a quadriceps pump or burn.

Same goes for Hindu pushups. They are not for your pecs and deltoids. You can focus on those areas if you want, but you won’t obtain the ultimate benefits of the exercise if you do.

When it comes to bodyweight exercises, what I teach you to focus on is often the opposite of what most people would think.

That’s part of the reason that Combat Conditioning is a world-wide best-seller.

Same goes for Dao Zou.

Who’d a thunk that you could reverse negative thoughts and emotions by moving in a way that runs contrary to popular opinion?

Me.

Yes, I figured it out by doing it. So have those who gave it a whirl per my suggestion.

One thing I’ve observed over the years is that success often comes to those who do and think the opposite of what everyone else is thinking and doing.

Goes hand in hand with my decision to not cancel a training session because the forecast was 60% rain.

From my perspective, we had a 40% chance of the weather cooperating with our objective.

That it did.

Lucky me.

You want to be lucky, too?

Then follow my contrarian approach and let’s see what happens.

Yeeeeessssss.

Kick ass – take names.

I’ll never forget the life-changing fight I had with my wife.

We were in China, enjoying another hot, humid, unbearable summer. Then we got into an argument about something that was inconsequential (true of most arguments).

I got upset. My wife got upset. Neither of us were talking to each other.

After several hours of cooling off time, neither of us were feeling any better. That’s when my wife made a suggestion that turned my life around.

“Why don’t we take a step back,” she advised.

Immediately, in my mind, I moved backward. I put space between myself and the turmoil. And as soon as I did so, I felt an improvement. It wasn’t huge, but it was a new beginning.

Little did I realize, at that time, that I would eventually come up with a mind-body fitness regimen based upon this simple idea my wife gave me.

Taking a step back is not only a mind-metaphor – it’s also a physical practice that dramatically changes your mindset.

Over the years I have taught myself myriad ways to take a step back, including being able to write cursive, with either hand, in either direction.

Oddly enough, I also learned to swim in reverse, and I demonstrate this in my best-selling Dao Zou program.

Along with taking a step backward, there is a reverse-breathing and high-voltage visualization component. Without these elements, the practice is empty.

The focusing exercises I teach in the program take you “out of this world,” helping you to begin feeling healing energy flowing up and down your body – a sure sign that your vibration has shifted.

One of keys to practicing Dao Zou, a way that truly transforms the emotional component of any situation you’re struggling with, is slowing everything down. You go beyond what you think of as slow and enter super slow motion.

In my experience, moving in super slow motion attunes my brain and nervous system automatically, whether I believe it will or not.

This tells me that this type of training is NOT a placebo. It doesn’t work for me because I believe it will work. It works because it works… period.

A few years ago, when a close friend passed away, I found myself using my wife’s advice to suck the grief and sadness out of the situation.

When the sadness quickly subsided, I saw something else about Dao Zou that I didn’t realize when I created the program.

And that was: There are certain emotions and negative thought patterns that cannot take hold of you when you’re moving the way I teach you to move in Dao Zou. They can only control you if you are doing what you would normally do.

This means, if you’re feeling down, if you’re feeling negative, the path to going forward might be found, as it was for me, in taking a step back.

One step back will catapult you forward. It will also help you to…

Kick ass – take names.

Matt Furey

My wife came downstairs to sound the alarm.

“A cop just killed a black man in Minneapolis,” she cried.

She started to give me the details of how it happened. She asked me to watch the video with her.

I interjected: “What the ….? That’s not how you hold someone down. Who are the idiots who teach you to put your knee on someone’s neck to hold him down?”

My wife’s words painted such a gruesome picture in my mind, that I didn’t need to see the video. Doing so only made me feel sick.

I’m not into watching people suffer. I’ve seen enough violence. I’d much rather watch videos of people getting along, in peace and harmony.

As a teacher of grappling and submission holds, and as a person who used to write a monthly column for a number of martial arts magazines, I cannot believe that cops are being trained to restrain someone with a “knee on the neck.”

And to hold your knee on a person’s neck for almost ten minutes, while the person is gasping for air, that is beyond horrible. You have to be absolutely ruthless and uncaring. You have to be filled with hate.

What a sad situation. How can a human being’s life end at the hands of an abusive, dirty, ruthless, insensitive cop? It’s truly tragic.

Now the country is in chaos and the virus appears to be off the front burner.

Yet it isn’t.

As I stated long ago, the worst viruses of all are internal. These are the viruses of fear, of hatred, of racism, of anger, of cruelty.

When you see a hateful act committed by anyone, you are witnessing what comes from within. Nothing is expressed on the outside without first being played out on the inside of someone’s mind.

I am grateful to the police across this nation who took a knee yesterday. I am grateful to the police who have embraced, consoled and hugged those who are suffering at this time.

We need more police officers in this country who are “peace officers.”

My heart goes out to to George Floyd, to his family and loved ones.

May we have peace in this country. May we have peace in our world.

And may it begin within each one of us, starting NOW.

Matt Furey

A good many people have written to say you no longer own a DVD or CD player.

What?

Some have written to ask me if “anyone” still owns a DVD or CD player anymore.

Seriously?

And a couple people have adamantly proclaimed, “I don’t see any reason why anyone in today’s world would own a DVD or CD player.”

Oh my.

Well, let me tell y’all something. I’m a big believer in having the real goods in my hands and in my library where I can see them. And I’m far from being the only person who thinks this way.

I have a portable DVD, VCD, CD player.

I also have external DVD/CD ports I can hook up to my computer.

And I despise the fact that the computers of today no longer have a slot for me to insert a DVD or CD. In my whirld, I cannot believe someone would NOT want to have a visible library of books, CDs and DVDs.

Yet, I realize that people live in different realities. I realize there are people who cannot imagine why anyone would want a library in his or her own home.

So, I guess you could say I’m bending over backwards when I tell you that Dao Zou is now digital.

You asked for it. You got it.

You can get the DVDs and a free gift sent to you by mail –  or you can receive the product NOW via digital download.

Dao Zou is the ultimate De-Stress for Success program. Follow it and be amazed.

Matt Furey

What a great day, yesterday.

Hordes of people got outside, going to parks and beaches and having a merry ole time, getting drunk on the healing powers of sunshine.

As of today, more and more businesses are going full throttle. Back to work.

Yes.

Someone wrote me the following yesterday: “How are you doing during these times?”

“During what times?” I replied. “All we have is NOW. And as soon as NOW is here, it’s gone.”

“Huh?”

I love it when this happens.

Without getting overly philosophical, everything is in the now. We remember in the now. We future-ize in the now. We act and dream in the now.

This doesn’t mean, however, that you never think about the past or the future. It’s wise to do so. Just be aware that you’re doing so in the present moment, the now.

Every moment is a new now.

Every moment is an opportunity to shift, to grow, to become.

And every hour on the hour is a reminder to do something physical.

It can be as simple as getting out of your chair and walking around. Or doing some bridging.

Just think, what would happen to your body, over the next 90 days, if instead of saying, “I don’t have time for exercise,” you did something for a minute, eight or ten times per day?

Let’s say at 9 AM you do a set of pushups. You’re done by 9:01 AM.

At 10 AM you do a set of bodyweight squats. You’re done by 10:01 AM

At 11 AM, you hang from a bar for 30-60 seconds.

At 12 Noon, you bridge over a Swiss ball.

At 1 PM, you do another set of pushups.

And so on…

There’s no need to find 30 to 60 minutes for your training if you feel pressed for time.

Begin in bite-sized increments – and stick with it.

Over time you will probably begin to spontaneously upgrade. You will notice how much more alive you are, how much more productive, so you fit more “me time” into your schedule.

This “me time” becomes a habit and eventually, in yet another NEW NOW, you look in the mirror and see someone staring back at you who is crushing it.

That’s what you can expect from playing around with the exercises I teach in Combat Conditioning, Gama Fitness and Primate Power.

Start slowly. Generate momentum. And within a shorter time than you think, you will understand the meaning of…

Kick ass – take names,

Matt Furey

P.S. Gama Fitness and Primate Power are available digitally for a fraction of the original price. For NOW.

It’s a secret source of strength.

World-class athletes and martial artists have it.

Many call it mental strength, mind power or mind-over-matter. But these terms are misnomers. Why? Because your mind is part of everything in your body.

How you use your mind affects every system and cell in your body. It affects the way your body moves. You form a mental picture in your mind of your body moving in a certain way and your body feels it bubbling from within.

The people who claim they “just do it” have it all wrong. They picture their body doing something before their body does it. One does not work without the other.

Think of an artist drawing a picture of several horses racing to the finish. The artist doesn’t “just draw it.” First, the image is visualized, then the artist moves his or her hands to create the scene on paper.

Same goes with how you move your body.

Or… how you hold your body still.

Yes, even to hold you body in a single position requires the mind’s cooperation. And when you train in such a way that you are pushing or pulling against the immovable, you begin to tap into a level of the nervous system that is virtually impossible to reach through movement alone.

This is why, in the past, the world-class secretly did this type of training.

They might showcase their strength publicly with various objects – but in the privacy of their homes, it was a different story.

A couple years after Combat Conditioning smacked the fitness industry in the chops, I revealed the hidden secrets of the world class.

I revealed these secrets when I released Gama Fitness. 

Within this 12-lesson tome, I covered the subject of immovable strength in a way that was never covered before in the history of fitness and physical culture.

In fact, if you were meeting with me over coffee, I could show you, definitively, who learned the fine art from me.

How can I prove this assertion?

I can prove it because their were imbedded codes in how I taught this that would quietly “red flag” all the people who copied my work and either gave me zero credit, or went a step further and condemned my product while using the same code in their own. Too freakin’ funny.

A couple months ago, I shocked the fecal matter out of a friend when I told him what the code was. Someday I may share the details, along with the naming of names, but for now, it matters less than letting you see that I now have Gama Fitness in an immediately available digital format.

And to celebrate this new reality, I’m offering Gama Fitness to you for 68% off the former amount.

Jump on this offer NOW, my friend. Then turn to Lesson Six and learn the truth, straight from el Furecat’s pen.

Kick ass – take names.
