"15 Reasons Why 'Combat Conditioning' is The Best Fitness Program for Martial Artists"

I was the total skeptic. Not only had I lifted weights for years, but after 21 years in the martial arts, I thought I'd seen it all.

So I just didn’t believe Matt Furey when he said you can get kick-butt fit with bodyweight calisthenics. I could bench 400 and squat 625. So there’s no way that I was going to fall for what I assumed were “easy exercises.” But I couldn’t shake this feeling that Furey might be right. I heard that Bruce Lee did these exercises, too. And Furey, who has been featured in major martial arts magazines around the world, is no slouch either. He was a world champion in Shuai-chiao kung fu and a national champion wrestler. What if he was telling the truth? So I bought Furey’s Combat Conditioning book and read it. In the book he challenges the readers with a test. 100 Hindu squats, followed by 50 Hindu pushups, then a one-minute back bridge. Figuring this would be easy, I got started. At 40 Hindu squats my thighs were blitzed. It took about 90 seconds; not long compared to my squat routine at the gym. Next, I tried the Hindu pushups. Funny thing is my legs were still shaking. I dipped down and pushed back. At 15 my arms were throbbing. This couldn’t be. No way. I could bench like there’s no tomorrow and this exercise was nuking me. I gave up at 27 reps. This took about 1.5 minutes, so my workout had only been 3 minutes long. Then the bridge. After three unsuccessful attempts of ten seconds, I gave up. The next day my legs, chest and arms were sore, but in a good way. I thought my legs got 10 times more work with weights, but I was wrong. Over the course of three months my body changed big time. In fact, I’ve made a list of 15 of the most amazing benefits that I and thousands of others have gotten from the Combat Conditioning program. I’m betting these are important to you, too: 1. I burned off excess body fat to the point where I could eat more than I normally did and still look terrific. 2. I packed functional muscle onto my legs, chest and back that I’ve never had before. 3. I got more flexible while getting stronger. I no longer need a separate workout just for stretching. 4. My endurance tripled. Very important in sparring. 5. My chronic back pain went away. And that was only after ONE week of bridging. 6. I sleep like a log. Eight hours of deep sleep is no longer a goal. It’s automatic. 7. My confidence soared. Especially when I got compliments from people who hardly paid attention to me before. 8. I can train anywhere. I don’t need more than a few square feet and I’m all set. 9. No equipment needed. Forget all the gadgets at home that just become clothing racks. 10. A killer workout in 15 minutes or less. You can spend more than 15 minutes, but don’t do it right away. 11. Reduces injuries. My body holds together when I train. It is much more stable. 12. Eliminate pain associated with weight training injuries. No more shoulder pain from benching or back pain from deadlifts. 13. Turn back the clock. My friends tell me I look 5-10 years younger. Yaahooo. 14. Explosive strength. I didn’t lose strength on this program. In fact, I gained it. 15. Increased speed. These exercises make you pliable and springy, like a tiger. This makes your movements FAST. So there you have it. 15 reasons why Combat Conditioning is the best program for martial artists (or anyone, if you ask me).
