You’ve heard about having an intuitive flash – or a gut feeling. But most likely it has never been explained to you quite the same way my friend, Jeremiah Perez, will tell it to you. The guy truly has a way with words and I think you’ll find his writing both entertaining and informative. Incidentally, although this article is written for those who are interested in martial arts and fighting, there is a lot of information in this that will prove beneficial to ALL of you. Read on and enjoy.

Matthew Furey

You might think I’m talking to you about the urge to eat that third piece of pie after you’ve already had a four course meal…but I’m not.

I’m talking to you about what some would say is your second brain and no the size of your gut doesn’t determine how smart your second brain is because if that were the case you’d see beer belly braniacs making scientific breakthroughs.

And you know that’s not so since most can barely figure out how to keep their ass crack from showing as that flab of fat pushes their pants down towards their ankles.

So I’m actually talking to you about your INNER gut.

You know the one that fills full of butterflies as you’re waiting in line for a roller coaster or it sends warning signals to you when you “somehow” un-explain ably know something is wrong.

Your stomach and brain have a very strong relationship with good communication skills and that’s because the stomach has millions of nerve cells which makes it seem like it has a mind of it’s own.( if you’re a male you can probably include another body part which seems to have the same talent only it tends to get you in trouble from time to time.)

Your gut is a safer body part to listen too.

When it comes to your mind body connection and you talk about whether or not the brain controls the body or the body controls the brain trying to figure out who’s boss is the proverbial which came first the chicken or the egg debate.

If you put your hand on the table and you mentally go to your happy place while thinking good thoughts as someone shoots a nail through your hand your body will scream at your brain in a very loud and clear manner.

Yet on the flip-side there are monks who can think themselves into being conduits of heat and energy so immense they can sit in the snow high up in the mountains with a wet sheet

wrapped around their naked bodies and evaporate every last water droplet until the sheet is bone dry before taking an over night nap in the freezing cold surrounded by man eating tigers that wont touch them with a ten foot pole.

In the end of it all, the body and the brain are together and separate at he same time and when it comes to your SIXTH sense and second brain they all have to work together.

As I worked in the world of bodyguarding this was crucial for avoiding even little mistakes which could cost your clients their lives and the same applies to fighting more than one person at the same time.

Sometimes your brain does the talking and sometimes it’s your gut’s that lead the way.

Your brain needs to have the information that fine tunes awareness and your physical body needs the moves that Breaks, Stops and Drops attackers quickly and easily so you can have the guts to Kick some serious ass no matter how many of them there are.

Proven Fighting Moves is busting at the seams with real world awareness that takes you on a journey into the darkness of a criminals mind so you can stay ten steps ahead of the sick and twisted games they play and it gives you the easiest tactics that stops attackers dead in their tracks even if your fighting more than one person at the same time.

And YES it’ll work for you too.

Otherwise I would have called it I-think-it-might-work-fighting-moves instead of Proven Fighting Moves. Order NOW!.

“Some things take longer than you expected – but only because

you make things harder than they are. What goes wrong oftentimes

isn’t. It usually leads to something better.”

– Matthew Furey, 2007

The above is something I thought about a few weeks ago,

when I stepped on Chinese soil for the “umpteenth … or more”

time.

I came over here with a long list of “things to do.” Many of

them are writing projects: newsletters, promos, product

outlines, books, courses, special reports and so on.

The list never endeth – it seems. And that’s the way I like it.

While many things have already been accomplished – more items

have been added to the list.

Such is the life of an entrepreneur – if he or she is successful.

We have more than four burners on our stoves. We have at least

eight – and that’s only from one kitchen.

Oftentimes what happens is we begin cooking one dish, then the

idea for another dish comes to mind and we begin cooking that one,

too.

Then another dish comes to mind. And another. And another.

Next thing you know you have all eight burners going. At this point

you realize you’re making things more complicated than they need

to be. You realize, “Hey, I can only do one thing at a time. In fact,

I can only think about one thing at a time. So what is the one thing

I need to focus on and DO right now.”

Oddly enough, it may be something other than what you’d want to

focus on right now. Perhaps a deadline is coming on one of your

projects – and you’ve got to get things done or you’ll suffer conse-

quences you don’t want.

I guess this is my “brief” explanation as to why I still don’t have the

promo up for my October seminar. I figured it would be three days

when I sent the last email to you about it. Well, it’s been longer.

At the same time, I assure you that the delay is a good thing –

and when you read the lead for the event, you’ll know what I mean.

I realize many of you are chomping at the bit to enroll, and that’s

before I reveal all the details about the seminar.

So I’m thankful for that.

At the same time I do want to show you part of what I have in store

for you, so I’m going to have Eddie Baran – my webmaster – put the l

ead for this event on the website for you.

I think it’ll make you hungry for MORE. In fact, I know it will.

So don’t delay – go to http://knockoutmarketing.com/life_change.html

and begin reading NOW.

Back before apple peel became the big news it is today, my friend Dave Copeland licensed a groundbreaking patent from Cornell (written with an emphasis on cancer treatment, by the way) for drying apple peels, and created a supplement called AppleBoost. Unlike pharmaceutical drugs, AppleBoost doesn’t just address a single condition or organ or system. It does all kinds of beneficial things for the body, as Dave mentions in the article below. If you want to make AppleBoost a part of your health regimen (and I recommend that you do), order a supply today at AppleBoost.com. I think what he has written will REALLY open your eyes. Read on and you”ll quickly discover why.

Matthew Furey

The media has an amazing ability to report on the obvious. Nonetheless, it”s refreshing that they”re finally starting to get it about what really makes for healthful eating. In mid-May, CBS News ran a story on the nutritional power of apple peel. (Yes, they actually consider this news.) They reported on a recent study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry. Using 24 pounds of apple peels generated from 231 pounds of whole apples, researchers extracted the phytochemical content and analyzed it.

Their findings: the peel of the apple has far more antioxidant activity and anti-cancer cell proliferation properties than the flesh of the apple. In fact, the phytochemicals in apple peel were especially effective against human colon, liver, and breast cancer cells.

The study conclusion? Apple peel “should be regarded as a rich source of nutrients and antioxidants.”

Well, duh.

Apple peel is high in phenolics, particularly flavonoids which are a subtype of phenolics. You”ve probably heard mention of quercetin before. It”s one of the main flavonoids found in apple peel, and studies show it to possess powerful anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory activities.

The Mayo Clinic found that quercetin helps protect against prostate cancer. Phenolic-rich foods, according to the National Cancer Institute, reduce the risk of lung cancer. Other studies have shown that apples promote healthy lung function and reduce the risk of asthma. A number of studies suggest that apple peel protects against neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimers. And it just goes on and on.

This isn”t really news, folks. I”ve been saying this for years, as have many others who are a whole lot smarter than me. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, the more color it has, the better it is for you. In apples, that”s the peel. It”s a no brainer. If you aren”t eating at least 9 or 10 servings of brightly colored fruits and veggies a day (including a couple of apples), then whole food supplements – NOT phytochemical or vitamin isolates – can fill in the gap for you.

Order AppleBoost today at AppleBoost.com.

Over the past few months, beginning with my February “Secret of Secrets” Fitness Seminar – many of you noticed that I bridge and do other Combat Conditioning exercises on an exercise mat you haven’t seen before.

You’re written in to ask about it. Here’s my answer: The PowerMat – that’s what it’s called – is the best, most portable, most durable and most flexible mat I have ever exercised on – and I’ve been on a LOT.

I realize it’s tough finding an exercise mat that doesn’t roll, wrinkle, or move around like those flimsy yoga mats.

The mat I’ve been secretly testing is made of some kind of high-tech memory foam that you really have to feel to believe. It’s a strange blend of firm and soft (sounds a bit sexy, I know – but it’s true).

Truth is I never thought I’d find a better workout mat than a wrestling mat. This used to be true. Now I have one that I can and do take with me on my world travels.

This means: No more workouts on filthy hotel carpets and no more carpet burns.

Most importantly: No excuses for missing a workout.

So if you want improved motivation, increased endurance, and a POWER workout, then get your rumpus to www.bridgingmat.com right now, and check out my favorite Mat: the PowerMat.

Best,

Matthew Furey
Zen Master of the Internet®

P.S. BTW, check out the pictures of the contortionist babe bridging on solid granite on this mat. Gotta love those red-heads or strawberry blondes or whatever they are called these days. Tough for me to judge being I have no hair – on my head that is. Go check out someone with long, long hair NOW.

My son, Frank, turned 7 yesterday.

When he woke up before school I asked him if he

wanted to open his birthday presents now rather

than later.

“YESSSS. Right NOW,” he said.

I went into my office in our brand spanking new

condo here on Hainan Island in China – and grabbed

the two FEDEX boxes I kept in hiding. Then I grabbed

a pocket knife and began helping Frank open his

presents.

The first item, an auto-graphed Joe Montana football.

Frank went nuts.

The second item, a framed and autographed print of

Joe Montana – with arms raised overhead signaling

another victorious touchdown pass.

Now, perhaps you’re wondering why I got Frank gifts

like these. Two reasons:

1. He likes Joe Montana a lot. He’s his favorite football

player to study and watch.

2. I realize the value of surrounding oneself with images

of success. Having something autographed by a legend

puts successful energy in your surroundings. And having

a picture of a legend hanging on your walls – especially

when he’s celebrating the thrill of victory – well, how can

you beat THAT for a positive image to implant in your

mind.

When I was a young lad growing up in Iowa, I had dreams

of becoming a champion wrestler. My walls were plastered

with posters and pictures of the superstars of the sport.

And my library was filled with books that gave me the keys

to what made these men successful.

In short, I created an environment that fed my creative

imagination; an environment that continually reminded

me of what I wanted to accomplish.

My friend, Pete Lillo – aka Pete the Printer, and I have

often talked about the importance of having success

symbols in your surroundings. Photos of great people

whom you admire give you energy for your daily thoughts;

they keep you focused on the qualities that make for

greatness.

In the world around us we are surrounded by images of

failure. On the daily news we see glorification and am-

plification of everything “bad.” If you don’t have a tragedy

of some sort to report, chances are it won’t make the

news.

Sad but true.

This is why it’s vitally important to continually feed your mind

mental pictures of success.

It’s no mistake, then, that on the top of each and every poker card

in the Matt Furey Exercise Bible, you’ll see the cartoon character of

me smiling, like Joe Montana, with my arms raised overhead in

victory. The purpose for this particular pose is self-evident. I put it

there for YOU to draw energy from. I put it there so that when you use

the deck of cards to train, you are continually focused on visions of

victory.

Will it help you?

Guaranteed.

Those who are using the Matt Furey Exercise Bible are stunned at

how fast their body is changing. Within a few workouts you will see

and feel a difference when you look in the mirror. No hype. No

exaggeration. Just the facts.

There are some exercises you can do day and night and you’ll hardly

notice a change in your physical appearance. Naturally, I left all of those

exercises OUT of the Matt Furey Exercise Bible.

Make sure you get one NOW. They’re FREE to the next 99 people – then

everyone else will have to pay dearly to get a deck.

So make sure you go to http://www.mattfurey.com/inner_circle.html and become

a Matt Furey Inner Circle member NOW so that you receive the last of the FREE

card decks.

A few weeks ago I sent you information about a trading

program – and as a result our offices were drenched

with emails.

I was absolutely shocked myself as I have never made a

recommendation that caught the attention of so many

people so quickly.

People wanted to know if the offer is legit. If I sent the email.

If I’m off my rocker. If I use the program. If I truly endorse

the program. If you can get your money back if the program

doesn’t meet your expectations, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.

etc. etc. etc. etc.

Although I could go on and on about what I do or don’t do –

here’s the only answer I’m going to give – and it IS

completely factual and it is the only answer that matters:

The company who is promoting and selling the product –

the one I gave the link to – is literally accosted day and

night from people around the world who hope they will

do a promotion for their product or service. This company,

Early to Rise, Inc. – refuses almost everyone who wants

a helping hand in the promotion of their products.

I, also, am approached, day and night, by people who want

my help. Once again, I refuse almost all as I have a group of

over 150 men and women whom I coach and THEY get my

help and attention.

And so, if this opportunity crashed ETR’s doors – as well as

mine – with all the barriers we have erected to keep virtually

everyone out – then it MUST be one doggone good program.

One person asked about refunds and what if everyone who

bought the product felt scammed and ripped off and ALL

wanted their money back immediately.

Good question.

And the answer is simple. You would get a refund.

Furthermore, if for some reason your were NOT refunded

the money you paid for the program – I will go on record

to say that if you returned the program in the 30-day period

allotted, and you weren’t granted a refund by ETR, you can

contact my office and I, Matthew Furey, will refund your

money for the purchase of THEIR product.

Now, how is THAT for a vote of confidence.

Again, if you’re unhappy, I have 100% assurance that you

will be reimbursed 100%. Second, if for some unforeseen

reason you weren’t, then count on ME to handle the situation

for you – provided you abide by the 30 day grace period.

And so, I think this is all you really need to know.

If the program doesn’t work – send it back and get a refund.

But if it does, then perhaps you’ll be happy as hell that I made

this recommendation.

A good many Furey Faithful got the program and we have only

heard positive things said about it.

YES, I’ve gone out on a limb here. Sure, some people only want

me to recommend fitness – but the fact is that based on the

sheer volume of emails – as well as ORDERS for this program –

I take it that a lot of people are damn glad I made the “reco.”

Once again, fitness is not just physical. Get fit in every way,

physically, spiritually and financially. They’re all the same

in my book.

And so, if you’re interested, click below for all the details.

It’ll only take a few minutes to read, but I assure you, it’s like

nothing you’ve ever focused on before.

Last night I met with, Greg Fleisner, a long-time Matt Furey Inner Circle member who teaches English here in Beijing. He’s been living here for over a year and loved my blog on freedom in China. He sent an email to our fulfillment house, run by Carol Brown, stating his desire to meet with me, if possible. She forwarded it on to me.

I considered the matter deeply whilst reading Greg’s email and because I could sense a good vibe coming from him, I agreed to meet with him at 6 PM. After I extended the invitation he showed at my hotel with his Chinese friend, Maggie. We quickly ordered watermelon juice and began talking. 90 minutes later, after much talk about tai chi, chi kung, nei gong and so on, I realized I was getting hungry, so we moved to the buffet and continued talking.

As I was drinking yet another watermelon juice, Maggie said: “I have a question for you. I want to know why you like watermelon so much.”

I nodded and gave no answer. She didn’t ask again.

One of the reasons is simple and I’ve told it to MFIC’ers for some time. Watermelon is loaded with Lycopene. Good for the prostate. Puts lead in the pencil. Naturally, there are other reasons, but the most important one, for men, is enough reason. Agreed?

Around 9 PM I noted the open back pack sitting next to Maggie. Inside was a copy of Combat Conditioning. Naturally, it was unsigned as I rarely autograph books. Only at special events or seminars. Well, our meeting was a special event, so I said: “Would you like some ink from me on your copy?”

Matthew Furey Signs Greg’s Combat Conditioning

“I’d love that,” said Greg, as he whipped out a red Sharpie.

“I think this pen is better,” said Maggie, who held out a black Bic pen.

“Unnnh,” I grunted.

“I don’t think so,” said Greg.

I grabbed the lucky red Sharpie and wrote a brief message to Greg. Then I tore a blank page from my journal and scribbled a note to Maggie. She liked it so much she placed it inside the book.

Then, as Greg was continually bragging about Maggie’s ma bu (horse stance) we persuaded her to demonstrate. Right in the middle of the restaurant she got up, with much urging, and sat in this stance. Being a ham I jumped into the lime light as well – thrust one leg upward and dropped into a one-legged horse stance.

Matthew’s one-legged horse and Maggie’s ma bu

After this I said: “Can you do a 1-arm Hindu pushup?”

“That’s not possible,” said Maggie.

Greg laughed, knowing it most certainly was.

So I dropped to the floor and did a 1-arm Hindu pushup.

“Oh my gawd,” said Maggie.

“This is the sort of thing you can work up to when you follow my program. Don’t just do yoga. That’s good – but never forget that the yoga came from Indian wrestlers. They stole it from us wrestlers,” I joked.

“Not stole, Copied,” said Maggie.

Greg said: “Copied? Everything is copied.”

I laughed.

At 9:30 we called it a night. Twas a great visit. Superb energy.

As I travel around the world I look forward to meeting more and more Matt Furey Inner Circle members. Make sure you’re one of them. The perks for being a member are HUGE and they’re expiring soon. Jump in NOW while the free offers are still good.

Three days ago I sent out a ‘True or False’ email directing you to this blog, wherein I wrote about freedom (or lack thereof) in China. If you’ll recall, my blog post was an answer to D.W.’s email – which addressed Tiananmen Square and freedom of travel, specifically (you can view it by scrolling this page).

The amount of correspondence this post generated was astounding. Many of you, including D.W. – who said he would delete any emails with the words “China” unanswered – wrote me with short as well as very long dispatches. I thank all of you for your messages, even though a good many were laced with barbs, attacks and ‘commie’ innuendo. One person went so far as to say I’m a shill for the Chinese government. HA!

For the record, I am no shill for anyone.

At the same time I will report the truth, as I have EXPERIENCED it. Not the truth I heard. Nor the truth that happened 20 or 30 years ago – or longer – during Maoist times or during the Cultural Revolution. In the event that I am reporting something I have not directly experienced – I will do my best to preface it with “I have heard” – or “Although I have no direct experience of such and such …” This helps keeps everything in line with what I believe I truly know and can vouch for.

In many of the emails I received there was a common thread. This thread had to do with the so-called lack of religious freedom in China. In most cases it had to do with lack of freedom to profess Christian beliefs and/or being jailed, persecuted or beaten for said beliefs. A few dealt with the Falun Gong cult that was squashed and a few were about Tibetan Buddhism.

At St. Joseph’s Church, Beijing, China.

Today, I will address Christian freedom.

This morning I got up at 6 a.m., showered and dressed. I then went to St. Joseph’s Church on Wang Fu Jing Da Jie. I entered the church and found a few hundred people present, all on their knees waiting for the service to begin. Along the walls of the church were paintings depicting the “Stations of the Cross.”

Pictures depicting the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus

Funny, I think, because I had heard, before attending this service, that people in China were not allowed to have Bibles, could not even utter the name “Jesus” and those who did so were jailed, beaten and tortured.

Why is it, then, that I was one of the few foreigners in this church? Why no police ready to arrest me and everyone else? Why was the name of Jesus spoken in this church, openly, by the priest and the parishioners? Why was the priest reading from the Christian Bible during the service?

The reason, via my direct experience, is simple. You ARE allowed to practice Christianity in China. You are also allowed to practice Buddhism, Tibetan Buddhism, Islam, Taoism and so on. By the way, in many areas I have visited in China, you will find a good many Muslims, as well as mosques. You will also find some of the very best food served in China at Muslim restaurants, which I often go to as they appear to know, better than anyone else, how to cook lamb.

The Chinese Confessional

Does the above mean that no one has ever suffered for his or her religious beliefs in China? NO.

Does the above mean that you can use your religion in China for political gain without facing some consequences? NO.

You may describe this as “lack” of freedom – yet I have heard that an American, cannot say whatever he wants whenever he wants to without repercussions, either.

For example, can an American threaten the life of a U.S. President without being jailed?

Can an American go to an airport and say he has a bomb or a gun – then laugh and say, “I was joking,” – without being arrested?

Did Americans, during the McCarthy era, for example, have total freedom to say or do anything, without consequences?

Not only that, but if you think there’s lack of freedom in Tiananmen Square, then I only want to ask: Are Americans free to walk past the White House anymore?

In the future I will address more questions that have been brought to my attention, such as, the single-child per family policy, freedom of travel to foreign countries, and so on.

In the interim, make sure you exercise one of your most basic freedoms, the freedom to take care of your health. Yes, your body is the ultimate temple for your mind and your spirit.

Never forget this truth.

Also, right now, we currently have only 98 more Matt Furey Exercise Bibles to give to new members of the Matt Furey Inner Circle. This deck of poker cards containing the top four exercises in Combat Conditioning, are catching on like a fire gone wild. So sprint over to the offer I have for you on my site and become a member today.
