You were doing what 'The Knees Over Toes Guy' is doing years before he was born.

[@mattfureysays7710]

That’s a fact!

I started calisthenics a decade ago, but your books and videos I've absorbed over the last year have redefined my training.

[@mattfureysays7710]

That’s good to hear. Thank you.

I bought The Martial Art Of Wrestling in '96 after seeing your 1st ad in Blackbelt magazine. Even talked to you on the phone when I ordered it.

You remember that convo almost 30 years later 😮

I was thinking about how this could be done. You came up with the answer.
Thank you.

From the 1st time I saw/heard the "warnings" about getting your knee beyond your toes (some time in the late 80s)...I saw it came from health club/gym based sources.
My take that this was lawyers talking to protect club owners.
I told whomever would listen that your body HAS this capability, so use it....smartly.
Thanks Matt for confirming what I instinctively knew.

I'm late to this convo, but I wanted to add that this is a drill used in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to develop the double-leg takedown (something BJJ has in common with wrestling).

I bought the combat conditioning dvd set when I was a teenager. Godfather of “functional training”.

[@anthonygerber8261]

I think my instructor had that one. He and I both have combat conditioning. Great stuff! Great TH-cam channel also! Thx for sharing your knowledge. 🙇‍♂️

I bought combat conditioning when it first came out. I remember when Usher used it to keep in shape back in the day.

[@AlexM-vh2pu]

Its kind of like the ATG squats by the knees over toe guy.

[@shankar2091]

This resembles a posture in Surya namaskar

[@jameshudgens7186]

..and that t-shirt is 🔥!! 🤣

[@matthewmiles8298]

I noticed you pulled a mat out for this exercise. Was it due to dropping to your knees (for padding) or was it a nod to your original wrestling book? But, more to the point, I wonder if the graphics on the mat - specifically the stripes in the center - are there for guides in the exercise. It looked like your back foot was aligned between the two stripes, and that their length was your step (lunge length). Is this the case, and do you have any specifications for home use?

[@mattfureysays7710]

I wouldn’t recommend banging your knees on a hard surface to do this exercise. I don’t use the stripes to gauge anything. I simply do the exercise as it is intended to be done.

[@gesslegonzales3692]

This leg workout is super underrated

[@mattfureysays7710]

Agreed

[@quintenhuggins2142]

You got that right. My 18 year old wrestler son is freakishly strong at 140 pounds compared to what I thought I was strong as a 185 pound Marine. I made the mistake of focusing on weight training for size and lost much of my strength and muscle endurance.

[@umadbro998]

Coach just a question about knees and wrestling
They say when knees go over toes constantly it causes shearing of the joint. And also by constantly hitting the knee on the ground when shooting must not be good for longevity! is there any way to avoid knee damage or does it just come with the sport
Thanks coach!

[@TheLonelyMan64]

Why not reissue the 1st book?

[@gharm9129]

I would def buy it
