The major differences between European training and American teaching in gymnastics is the conditioning of the body, the structure and skill-building within the practices, to name only a few. Our educational process uses European methodology of teaching to teach different gymnastics techniques or elements. With general conditioning, we develop the body to prepare for the sport of gymnastics, to make the muscle system strong enough to handle heavy landings. This also reduces the incident of injury.
Special conditioning is utilized in every event.
The process pinpoints and develops important abilities for each event. Every element has space, time and dynamic perameters. The perameters of the conditioning exercises need to be similiar or same to the gymnastics technique to result in the most effective exercises. But today's gymnastics has evolved into a much more challenging, higher level sport. This requires a more specialized conditioning approach and a much more specialized process.
