UFC fighter Kevin Lee tries Gymnastics

I expect competitive female gymnasts to be better at every test of physical and motor fitness than any other female athlete their age. In any sport.

NEXT. They challenge all other male athletes their age. And best them at pretty much every challenge.

How about a professional male adult?

training Stride Handstand

Beginners often learn Backward Walkover with bent knees and — later — have problems ☹️getting out of the habit of bending their knees.

Challenge them to tip forward and backward in Stride Handstand to show form and control. As they improve lower the height of the mats.

Lee Woolls interview

Lee is one of the coaches in the world I admire most.

Check his YouTube channel to see what I mean.

Lee is Men’s Head Coach at City of Birmingham,  having built it into a powerhouse over the past 11 years. He didn’t copy anyone. Lee rather tries to learn from everyone and anyone.

Though well known as a superb basics coach, he’s currently coaching 6 seniors including Dominick Cunningham and Joe Fraser.

The interview is excellent. Lee very down to earth. Easy to listen to.
