Matt Smith

MOBILITY & FLEXIBILITY

Before starting his flexibility journey, Matt struggled to sit upright on the floor. Determined to improve, he went on a long journey of research and experimentation. This led him to live with Shaolin Monks and work with top coaches like Charles Poliquin. By combining these influences, Matt developed the method that helped him and his students achieve the splits, full overhead range and more. Most notably, Matt coached 50m freestyle swimmer Cameron McEvoy to win Olympic gold in Paris 2024 - the fastest swimmer in the world.
