BARS – guide to gymnastics for the non-gymnast

Another excellent post by Rawles. Her first tutorial was on international Vault.

.. bars is the most technical of the apparatus and for this reason the hardest for the layman to accurately judge! It can actually be pretty difficult to even realize that some has done something wrong sometimes on bars if you aren’t aware of exactly what they are supposed to be doing and even though ub is arguably my FAVOURITE event, even I am really murky on the exact distinctions when it comes to certain types of skills and suchnot. …

Rawles uses Nastia’s 2005 World Championships finals routine as her GOOD example of how bars should be done.

Click PLAY or watch Nastia on YouTube.

Thanks Rawles.
