The catch wrestling jack-ass who had a reasonable line in combat conditioning books.
Where is he now?
I used to read his blog. 13 YEARS ago.
I bought his combat conditioning book 13 years ago too.
For a few years I was doing neck bridges, hindu press-ups and hindu squats regularly.
Matt Furey converted me to hand-stand press-ups.
"He became a fetish model under the moniker "Matt Furry"."
What? Please elaborate...
You'd think, with the current popularity of MMA, that he could make a living as a submission wrestling & conditioning coach.
Thing is, be strikes me as the type pf personality who needs to set himself up as "the foremost authority" on a topic.
Sorry dude. Between submission wrestling, ACA/NCAA wrestling, Judo, BJJ, Sombo, and that "Mongolian oil wrestling" that Furey did, the field or grappling is just to large for any one person to actually know it ALL.
Doesn't mean Furey couldn't make a living as a coach. But I do think his ego would prevent him from putting on a Gi and rolling with some local BJJ boys, just to cross-pollinate his knowledge.
He opened up a nostalgia shop with Tony Cecchini.

the internet really needs a special font for sarcasm.
Kneeblock -
Once upon a time, Matt Furey, Tony Cecchine, Gene Simco and Robert Ferguson were all considered reputable fonts of great knowledge in the grappling world.
Thank goodness for the internet.

To find out what happened to Matt Furey, you'll have to buy the video/book series "What Happened to Matt Furey?" At $199, it's a bargain and is packed full of previously unrevealed facts about what happened to Matt Furey.
I blame his mainstream absence on the "hew". 
He has actually made a crap load of money through direct marketing on the internet.
.
When I was a kid, my dad read a magazine called "Grappling" that had Furey and Vale and all those guys in
When I got older I read a bunch of them and realised what a load of shite Vale and Furey really were
I recall reading a post by someone who went to his seminar where he was almost tapped and used poor technique to escape.

This. Here are a few things that happened to me when I started working out with Matt Furey.
1. I blow-torched off my excess body fat so quickly that I could eat more than I normally did and still look better than ever.
2. I packed and chiseled functional muscle onto my legs, chest and back that I've never had before, even from weights.
3. I simultaneously doubled my strength and flexibility - and did so without needing separate workouts.
4. I quadrupled my endurance inside of 30 days. I NEVER get tired.
5. The chronic back and shoulder pain I had from years of heavy squats, deadlifts and bench pressing went away within a couple weeks. And much of that pain had been with me for nearly 10 years.
6. I sleep like a log. Eight hours of deep sleep is no longer a goal. It's automatic. As soon as I hit the rack I'm out like a light.
7. My self-confidence grew by leaps and bounds.
8. I learned how I can train anywhere. I don't need more than a few square feet of carpet or pavement and I'm all set. I have absolutely no excuses and my body is loving me for it. I don't need any equipment. Just my own bodyweight.
9. I get a kick-butt workout done in 15 minutes or less.
10. I've turned back the clock. My friends tell me I look 10 years younger than my age.
11. I have an explosive type of strength that weights couldn't give me. My movements are super fast even when I'm just playing around.
12. My muscles are like a pliable and powerful tiger - ready to pounce on prey in a heartbeat.

We can laugh if we want, but Furey did something that lots of people wanted to do in MMA and he did it before anyone else did: he made an a$$load of money in what's a very niche corner of the sports world.
And just like everyone selling something, some of his stuff was bad, but some of the stuff he sold was actually good.

Not true. Everything sold by Ashida Kim is dogshit.
Tough to contest the Ashida Kim point...
