Gymnastics/acrobatics as a base for MA


Recommended Posts

I am a qualified gymnastics coach and have an aspiration to open a school (with other people of similar aspirations) to train youngsters acrobatics skills for further participation in any stype of sports, including MA. I think acrobatics would make any sportsmen better sportsmen.

 

What do u guys think?

No ginga, no capoeira

No berimbau, no capoeira

No roda, no capoeira

I agree it will give u the upper edge, I did gymnastics for 10 years. I did very well in the sport no state or any high ranking. I can jump higher than most people being 5ft 6, I can nearly dunk a ball in basketball.

 

So gymnastice gives u a lot towards MA. jumping ability, Stretching, balance

 

Just to name a few.

Learn and u shall Teach

We always encouraged participation in gymnastics and/or other sports. My instructor used to say "You won't be able to play football when your old but you'll always be able to do martial arts...so play now!". :D

 

I think acro/gymnastics is a great compliment to MA for the strength, balance, flexibility, etc. But I also think that MA can compliment acro too-my daughter (a TKD BB) started gymnastics recently and is already in the advanced class...all because of MA (balance, flexibility, strength,etc)!

 

Hmmm...which came first? The chicken or the egg? :lol:
