Matt Furey Bio

Edinboro University of Pennsylvania's Hall of Famer Matt Furey is a native of Carroll, Iowa. He began competing in swimming and wrestling when he was eight years old - and through dedicated practice, became a champion in each sport.
In 1981, Furey was the state runner-up in the Class 3A Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at 167-pounds. He attended The University of Iowa from 1981-1984, where he wrestled for Olympic Gold medalist, Dan Gable. In the fall of 1984, in order to help rebuild a dormant wrestling program, Furey transferred to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, and in 1985 he won the NCAA II national title at 167-pounds, defeating two-time California state champion, Howard Lawson, in the finals. While at Edinboro he was coached by Mike DeAnna and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist Bruce Baumgartner. In February of 1987, Furey opened a training business for wrestlers and fitness enthusiasts. Most of the high school wrestlers he trained went on to wrestle in college.	Matt Furey being inducted into the Edinboro University of Pennsylvania's Hall of Fame
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 breakthrough book and videos entitled, The Martial Art of Wrestling. In 1996, Furey began competing in a style of grappling, 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 in the art. Then, during Christmas of 1997, Dr. Weng brought two U.S. teams to Beijing, China, to compete in a World Kung Fu Shuai-Chiao tournament. 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 martial arts competition held in China. In addition to The Martial Art of Wrestling, Furey's other books include the best-seller, Combat Conditioning: Functional Exercises for Fitness & Combat Sports as well as Combat Abs and No B.S. Fitness . Furey has over 70 different videos as well, running the gamut from fitness, to martial arts, to wrestling, to making money via exceptional marketing and information publishing. He now spends much of his time teaching others how to make money as information publishers and authors. Furey has been featured on the cover of several magazines around the world and has been featured in many others, including Black Belt, Inside Kung Fu, GQ, Grappling and various others. Furey, his wife Zhannie, son Frank and daughter Faith, live in Tampa, Florida.
