Combat Conditioning: Functional Exercises for Fitness and Combat Sports

[englishcrap]

Has anyone invested in Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning stuff ?. If so I wanted your thoughts and feedback on his techniques, Cheers

Hi English,

I've got it and do the royal court, but I'm convinced Hindu pushups have contributed, not help a mild rotor cuff problem.

I also know a few people who won't do the neck bridge because they had problems.

Also he's not exactly the pinnical of abdominal midsections is he?

I prefer the Ultimate Warrior Guide, that's well cool, have you got that?

Hey Alpine,

I heard so many different view points on the Hindu Squats. My instructor was also convinced that they are the best and simplest form of exercises to build endurance in the lower body.

I think everyone has somthing negative to say about everything but yeah I agree with you.

Thomas Kurz wrote a brief article on Hindu Squats but I feel Matt Furys stuff might be better as it goes into depth on the subject.

I am planning to invest in Matt's Combat Conditioning videos next month. I just wanted to justify that it is money worth spending.

No havent got the Ultimate Warrior Guide

Did u get my emails ?.

Cheers..

He may not be the pinnacle of the abdominal section or look like you want to look, but then again his book isn't titled "Hot to look hot and ripped." It's supposed to be FUNCTIONAL conditioning.

Hi err,

I don't think I've had one I haven't replied to.

I'd check out bear share (one word) first Matt's stuff was on there last time I looked, you really need broadband though if you download the vids.

Hindu squats are ok. I think the trick is build up slowly. I do about 50 in one go which is nothing, but I'm doing other stuff as well and deadlifting.

Had a go with a kettlebell yesterday, they are fun, but bloody knackering.

Check mail then.

He may have been good in his day, but he's out of combat condition, no two ways about it. He's a fat bastard.

Having said that, some of the best brains of the Bodybuilding world were never body builders- Arthur Jones being a good example. So I don't feel it devalues the quality of the teachings.
