Matt Furey's Combat Conditioning

[MikeMartial]

Recently purchased a copy of "Combat Conditioning"...

While I agree with a lot of Furey's reasons for doing some of the specific exercises, he seems to make a lot of claims against weighted resistance training. I find it very hard to accept that squats, deadlifts, pullups, bench press, etc, would be anything BUT benificial to a martial artist.

Hindu squats, hindu pushups, and bridges all seems like excellent bodyweight-type exercises, but not the end-all-be-all of conditioning for a martial artist.

Opinions? Experiences?

Furey is a tard.......bypass any and all of his work.

We did his Hindus in class. They'll make you sore the first couple of times and stretch you out pretty good - but after that it's like yoga. I wouldn't rely on them soley like he says.
