high swings forward on P Bars

Impressive. But I’m not convince they are all that useful for Stutz / Diamadov.

female gymnasts using P Bars

Training Rings is ideal for the female gymnast. Good for swing. GREAT for general upper body strength.

Parallel Bars are good too. But keep them low so if a girl falls — and she will — there’s no chance of injury.

introducing Press to Handstand

Beginners often train years before making their first straight arm Press to Handstand.

It’s essential they feel SAFE when leaning too far.

Challenge gymnasts to get their hips (Centre of Mass) over the hands before lifting toes off the floor.

introducing Cross Support swing

A great way to start for both boys and girls is on spotting boxes.

It’s safe and fun. Challenge kids to do their best and highest swings with a sponge between the feet.

2018 Japan Supreme Men’s AA Final

1 Kenzo Shirai 85.497
2 Teppei Miwa 84.132
3 Kazuma Kaya 83.765
4 Fuya Maeno 83.265
5 Shogo Nonomura 82.631
6 Kakeru Tanigawa 82.465

… a bunch of the top AA gymnasts all competed against each other, including junior gymnasts Teppei Miwa (17) and Takeru Kitazono (16).

Incredibly, Teppei actually placed 2nd with a score breaking 84, which is a big number for a junior.

The medalists are automatically selected to compete on the AA World Cup Circuit- with first place competing in two, and the 2nd and 3rd place finishers getting to compete in one each. Which means we’ll get to see young Teppei on the World stage very soon!
