Dear Friend,If you've been searching for the "Holy Grail" of health and fitness regimens, then look no further. Stop everything you're doing. Bolt the door - take the phone off the hook. Allow no distractions. This may be the most important letter you'll ever read.Why? Because you're about to discover that there is an advanced level of fitness and conditioning - a program that is waiting in the wings - ready to take you to the next level. But before I discuss how it is going to benefit you BIG time, let me tell you why I've finally decided to put out this program
After receiving his copy he called to say how much he liked it. But then, after I thanked him for the compliment, he said, "Matt, you need to make this into a three-ring binder type of course that leads people by the hand and shows them what to do, step-by-step, day in and day out." I liked the idea - but there was a problem. I just flat out didn't want to do it. Sure, the notion came to mind from time to time, but it was too much work to put the course together the way I would want it done - so I blew it off. Well then, why the change now?Good question. Here's the answer: Last week I had a client come to town to get certified as a Combat Conditioning instructor. During the six hours we spent together, I corrected his form, answered his questions - and explained in great detail much of what is not in the book.I explained what to do if your shoulders hurt when doing pushups. I explained variations of Hindu pushups and squats. I taught him many, many exercises and supplementary details that I had never taught anyone before. I covered how to train the beginner, as well as the intermediate and more advanced. When our time together was over I returned home, grabbed a copy of my best-selling book, locked myself in my office and went through it again and again. I literally told my wife that I was not to be disturbed until I had this whole thing sorted out. Let me tell you, I wouldn't even let me son Frank in to see me - and that was pure agony. But it had to be done for me to get clear on what I wanted. [Note: Their patience is being rewarded later this year with a month long vacation to our second home China.] At any rate, I spent three days going over everything I know, everything I've learned since the book came out. I made tons of notes on a yellow pad as well as in the book itself. I went over all the things I wanted to alter, improve, remove, add to or change. By the time I was finished, I was exhausted. I hit the sack and slept for 15 hours straight. At the end of it all I was so excited about my new project that I thought about scraping my best-selling Combat Conditioning to just concentrate on the new course. My wife Zhannie and I then got into a fight about this idea. How dare I scrap a best-selling book that still kicks butt and is better than everything else out on the market? Our battle lasted for a few days - then I conceded. "Okay, okay," I said. "You're right. I don't need to make my best-selling book disappear. I just need to let everyone know that Gama Fitness is the advanced, personalized, step-by-step course that will blow the barn doors off everything else I have put out to date." Combat Conditioning is still head and shoulders above everything else out there - but Gama Fitness ... to borrow a line from StarTrek, "goes where no man has gone before." It is simply the best work I have ever put out, bar none. Gama Fitness, plain and simple, is the PERSONALIZED course that my friend Mike told me to make three years ago. Bear in mind that I don't need to do this. Combat Conditioning sells like hotcakes day in and day out. I really don't need to put out an advanced course. I don't need to lead you by the hand and teach you all this awesome information. But the truth is that I want to and feel compelled to do so. Now, don't get me wrong. I am damn proud of that book and all the good it has done. I have total confidence in the program. I know it works. I simply had to improve upon it in a different format. Bodyweight calisthenics worked for me and they have worked for thousands upon thousands of people all over the world. But I can make my program better and benefit people even more by putting out this advanced course called Gama Fitness. And that's what I have done. Was I right? Was it a good idea? Well, take a look at the testimonials listed below and you'll quickly know.
Look - my email box and filing cabinet are stuffed with unsolicited letters and testimonials that tell about back pain being eliminated, shoulder pain taking a hike, knee pain going out to lunch, - not to mention greatly increased strength, stamina, flexibility, mental concentration, lung power, confidence, sex appeal (and that is no joke), reduced fat, lost weight, added muscle - and so on. * Gama Fitness will give all of the above - but it will go a lot further. *  The appeal of this type of training has spread through many niches and industries. Many of my students are in law enforcement, combat sports and the military. From the Marines to the Navy Seals, from the Army to the Navy and Air Force - my program is being used. It is used in karate schools, wrestling clubs, boxing schools as well as in judo and ju-jitsu clubs. It is used by men and women over the age of 40 - as well as a great many children. The program, plain and simple, WORKS. However, in Gama Fitness, I Am Going to Go Way Beyond My Previous Work - I'm Going to Help You Reach Peak after Peak in Your Training - and I'm Going to Do So With Personalized Step-by-Step Instructions That Any Idiot Can FollowThe benefits of bodyweight calisthenics have gone well beyond what I originally imagined. When I first wrote the book on them - I was simply letting people know about the superior conditioning program I learned from the legendary Karl Gotch (he taught me this program when he was 75 years old and was still strong as a bear) - a REAL pro wrestler (when there was such a thing) who came to the U.S. from Europe in the 1960's.Long considered one of the foremost fighting and fitness authorities, Karl took me under his wing and showed me the smoke and mirrors of modern strength training. Things that turn you and me off. Here are some examples of what I mean:
Wish I Knew Then What I Know NowAs a young athlete who became a champion swimmer and wrestler, I learned of a man who did 1000 pushups a day. I modeled him and got stronger and stronger. Then, because there was nobody around to teach me how to get the most out of myself through body weight exercises, I turned to weight training.Even though I believed there was a way to train on bodyweight exercises exclusively, and get everything, and then some, that I wanted from such a program - I didn't have anyone who could show me the way - until I met Karl Gotch in 1999. So I pumped iron and trained with weights, even though I didn't really like doing so. The Best Coaches Money Could Buy Now, let me just say, I've been through intense training with the world's top Olympians and Olympic coaches. I trained under the legendary Dan Gable at the University of Iowa. Gable was a 1972 Olympic champion and coached Iowa to 15 NCAA titles in 21 years. I trained under Bruce Baumgartner, a 2x Olympic champion and 4x Olympian. I've trained under J Robinson, the head coach at University of Minnesota (they've won the nationals as a team the past two years). I've trained under Dr. Daniel Weng - the top Shuai-chiao kung fu teacher in the country, who guided me to a world title in China - where I became the only American to ever beat the Chinese, in their own country, at their own game. And so, let me tell you I had a lot of reasons to think I was already fit enough, already strong enough. But when I met Karl Gotch my perception shifted. Under his tutelage I learned the following ... Until you learn to move your body with full power from every direction and angle - the way you see animals moving about in nature - you're not in condition. My limitations became painfully obvious when Karl taught me the same exercises used by The Great Gama - India's top athlete and wrestler at the turn of the 20th century. Gama was one of the most revered fighters to ever walk the planet. He disposed of his opponents so quickly it was scary. Gama was in such great shape from his training regimen that he is said to have won 5000 matches without a loss.Like all wrestlers in India, Gama did Hindu squats, Hindu pushups (also known as dands and bethaks) as well as bridging, pillar work, club swinging - and so on.Gama did many things to put himself in top-notch condition. And I'm going to cover them in my new course, which is appropriately named after him - Gama Fitness. By following the lesson plan laid out in this course, you can expect your current level of fitness to go through the roof. Afterall, when you model success you can expect to become successful yourself. Now, there are some places where I will deviate from what Gama did - but this is important to do for a couple reasons. First of all, I don't think you'll want to wear a large stone ring around your neck when you do your squats and pushups - nor will you be able to find one in any stores. Second, I don't think you'll have access to the heavy Indian clubs Gama used to swing around. Nor do you need them. Not to worry. I have a few sets of Indian clubs myself - and I have used them enough to know their value. Don't get me wrong - they are good - but when tested alongside other methods of training to see which was the best - they didn't hold up. What I have to teach you is superior to the Indian clubs for increasing functional strength and overall fitness. Although Indian clubs have a certain mystique about them - and although they are "traditional," there is a better way to cut to the chase and get the results you want. Some tradition is great - but only if it still works better than everything else. Right? And so, I'm of the opinion that if Gama were around today, he'd agree with the slight deviations and adjustments I've made. Remember: Although I was already an accomplished elite-level athlete with several major championships to lay claim to (including both national and world titles) - when I first learned Gama's methods - I felt like I had been "put through the ringer." Sure, I was strong on the weights - but I was a weakling when it came to using my own bodyweight. Yes, there is a BIG difference between functional strength training and bodybuilding.
Okay Matt, Tell Me More About the Gama Fitness CourseBefore I tell you about how the Gama Fitness course is structured, I must issue a warning: This program is ONLY for those who want the best. It's only for those who want to live life straight-up, with gusto and enthusiasm. It's ONLY for people who want MAXIMUM fitness right NOW.And so, if you're satisfied with being average or normal - just forget it. This program is not for you and believe me, if you decide against it, I ain't gonna lose sleep over it. I don't need to beg for customers. In fact, although this may sound like bragging and I probably shouldn't say it - the fact is that I don't even need to coax the uncertain buyer with the gimmickry of money back guarantees, no risk money back guarantees and so on. In fact, I don't make any such offer on any of my programs and they still sell like soft drinks at Disney World in Orlando during the thick of August. Therefore, let it be known that those who want to know, in advance, if they can "test drive" my course and send it back for a refund - the answer is "No, No, No, and .... Hell Friggin No." If this attitude causes some people to not buy - so be it. I am a man of principle and I stand solid in my tracks. I absolutely will NOT sit back and help one single person knowingly take my materials, steal the information and send it back for a refund. Forget it, pal. Play that game with someone else. Not me. How am I able to strike such a defiant pose? What gives me the BALLS to say such a thing? Well, there can be only one reason. And that is that Matt Furey products WORK. Those who have my products know this. That's why they continue to come back again and again. Alrighty then, here's the scoop on Gama Fitness.The Gama Fitness course is available at two different levels of instruction. The first level is, quite simply, the "Regular Student Program."In the Regular Student Program you will receive a hefty three ring binder that is divided into 12 step-by-step lessons. It is organized the same way I would be teaching you if you came to me for personalized instruction. Let's take a brief look at part of what you will learn in each section of the course:
