They are variations of calesthenics Matt has putt together from various styles of training, ie wrestling & martial arts training.
The "hindu pushup" sometimes called the "divebomber pushup" is the one I spoke of. It is performed by starting in what we normally would consider the pushup rest position with you butt high in the air. You lower your body in line from your head toward your hands then push through your arms, extend up all the way until your back is arched and your belly is pointed to the ground.......then you return your body along the same line.....
The "hindu squat" is a variation of a simple deep squatting exercise, with breathing emphasised to increase your heart rate. You start in a standing position, lower your body deeper than a normal squat, while breathing in and then explode upward thrusting your arms out in front of you while exhaling, then return to the start position. Matt insists that a guy who is in shape can do 500 of these without a break.
He also uses the standard neck bridge that wrestlers use, starting with however long you can hold it, then increasing the time and adding motion to the neck back-forward-left-right to increase neck and ab strength.
These are what he refers to as the "Royal Court" and the base exercises the book starts with.
