Fight & Flow (FaF) merges basic martial arts, bodyweight calisthenics, and yogic movements to create a comprehensive full-body workout.
This workout integrates poses, movements, and breathing techniques practiced for millennia to boost flexibility, mobility, coordination, core strength, and balance.
A Modern Fusion of Ancient Movements
Fight and Flow taps into an ancestral movement pattern to become more healthy, happy, and whole. Drawing from an array of ancient martial arts and yogic practices, the ethos of FaF is grounded in the elements
Find Your Balance
We transfer energy by moving and consolidate it by being still. Just as you wouldn’t use a hammer to install a light bulb, avoid cardio kickboxing when your body needs recovery. Similarly, you wouldn’t use a sponge to drive a nail, so why stick to familiar, safe movements?
That’s where Fight & Flow comes in.
FaF contains 16 foundational stances, punches, kicks, and defenses to achieve balance in your workouts.
These movements can be used as:
- A warm-up
- A cool-down
- A primer
- A recovery practice for muscle group isolation
- A full-body workout
Meet Matt Thomas
Founder and CEO of Fight & Flow
Hi, I’m Matt. Fight & Flow isn’t about me, nor is it about you. Fight & Flow is a philosophy of movement and life that centers on balance, body weight, and being in touch with the holistic self in order to give ourselves what we need at the moment.
Fight & Flow found me when my ex-girlfriend made a joke about me. I had been boxing for three years and sustained a shoulder injury. After, all I did was yoga, and one day she asked, 'What happened to that boxing badass who asked me out last year? Who’s this sissy yoga boy who took his place?' The jest sparked a thought that I couldn’t shake, "Why can’t I be both?"
Thus started a 10-year journey around the world, exploring 35 countries, countless instruc-Tors for dozens of modalities that all boiled down to the same basic principle; bodyweight movement is the best thing for my body.
