Who is Matthew Furey?Matthew Furey is the alter ego of best-selling author and world kung champion, Matt Furey. He is also his marketing teacher, business mentor, health coach and spiritual guide.In Furey's seminars and coaching programs - "Matt Furey" usually takes a back seat as "Matthew" comes forward to transmit a message filled with optimism, imagination, confidence, gratitude and love. He commands his audiences to "wake up and rise up" - to expand their self-images and align themselves with the infinite spirit within each of us. Those who meet "Matthew" personally are deeply touched by his compassion, heart and acceptance of people from all faiths and backgrounds. Although, from external appearances, Matthew appears to be a rough, tough character - audiences quickly realize they're dealing with someone "on a different level" who truly wants to see them become successful. When Matthew enters a room the energy in the place changes. And when he begins talking people quickly realize that his "Zen Master" schtick is not schtick at all. When you attend Furey seminars or join his coaching programs you'll understand why. Okay, so who is Matt Furey?
Furey began studying various martial arts in 1990 and immediately saw the physical, mental and philosophical links these arts had with wrestling. This lead to the publication of his first book and videos in 1996, entitled, The Martial Art of Wrestling. In 1996, Furey began competing in the ancient Chinese grappling art of Shuai-Chiao, the oldest style of kung fu. Furey's teacher, Dr. Daniel Weng, a national champion from Taiwan, and a ninth-degree black belt, guided Furey to three national titles - then over Christmas of 1997, Dr. Weng brought two U.S. teams to Beijing, China, to compete in the world championships. In Beijing, Furey won the gold medal at 90 KG (198-pounds), and was the only non-Chinese to win a title. In addition, Furey's world title was historic because it marked the first time that an American had won a gold medal in any world kung fu competition held in China.
