giant progressions

A new JAO video has been released. 🙂

Unusual in this series are downswing drills into a soft mat. I’ve never seen an Artistic gymnast use that on Bar — though in the past it has been a popular drill for Men on Parallel Bars.

Click PLAY or watch it on YouTube.

Nice work, as usual.

I try to avoid the bent knee giant on low bar these days.

It’s less scary for little kids, but can result in some unintended consequences.

Skinner 1/2 on, 2 1/2 off

Do you give her the 3 ½ twist?

It’s named after Spanish gymnast Patricia Moreno.

What a quick tumbler!

She competed it as a Junior. And attempted a Quad twist

Those links are from an excellent WOGymnastike post – Meet The Originators: Triple Full And Half

It’s got many more links including quad twist attempts.

It sounds like the Chinese team is pushing this element.
