Who needs this new DVD and a reminder
We are sending to you this information because you have subscribed
to Stadion Publishing Company's e-mail list.
A few days ago I have told you we have a new DVD titled Acrobatics
for Everybody: Acrobatic Workout for the General Public.
This DVD is especially important for coaches and instructors as it
shows how to run a tumbling workout for athletes who are not
acrobats or gymnasts.
It is an after-hours workout for regular people, who want to learn
tumbling and other acrobatic skills. These are people who work or
study full time, or do both--study and work. Some have been to such
workouts for a few months, for others it was their first workout.
Some of them come three times a week, some just once a
week--whatever their work or study schedule permits.
I like this workout. To an ignorant it looks like after the warm-up
no one is in charge. Actually everything is under firm control of
two instructors. Everybody gets as much help as they need, no one
is pushed to do skills beyond what they are ready for.
Instructors watching this workout will pick up some tricks of the
trade, some ideas for use in their workouts. Athletes who want to
learn tumbling will benefit too: Just watching others practice is a
proven method of improving one's technique. During this workout
every technique is done by people of different build, ability, and
experience, so the viewer can learn from their errors and how they
are corrected. (To learn each of the basic tumbling techniques
step-by-step watch the DVD Acrobatic Tumbling:
From Rolls to
Somersaults.) There is an extra attraction shown during this
workout: A full teaching sequence for the butterfly and for the
back somersault off the wall.
Did you know?
Intelligent instructors of many sports, such as ball games, combat
sports, martial arts, and track and field, include teaching
tumbling in their training programs because it builds confidence,
decisiveness, and coordination, of course. It is a great form of
active rest and is just plain fun. Also, as good coaches of team
sports know, tumbling practice builds team cohesion, when athletes
work in groups, assisting each other in turns.
