Been a while since I've been here. I just want to share some new drawings I have made: http://onegymnast.com/?page_id=131
A lot of them are inspired by stuff from the gym and other funny comments I've seen around the net.
enjoy,
Peter
now that we have completely change the subject and moved over to the trampoline. Here is a video where we use the trampoline for something other than trampolining: (I bet you don't approve of this either)
@dunno
here my comments:
"if you are truly a coach, under NO circumstances should you be promoting backyard trampolines or tramp park trampolines. the majority of you have NO idea what is taking place. look for another article soon that i will post."
Actually I talk to the parents at the gym...
We are still off topic (oh why!).
Tumbelina82 you clearly do not understand what I'm try to accomplish with the books I have written. Every year when I start new classes, I always have a group of kids that have done like 1000 jumps with incorrect techniques on very basic elements like: a...
Hi Tumbellina82,
We are getting off topic (it was about Walkover vs. Limber), but I would like to comment your post about garden trampolines.
I disagree with you almost on every point. I'll try and break it down here:
"The Garden Trampoline" is that they are not "excellent for learning basic...
ok,. it seems there are some mix feelings about the limber skills, but it looks like all agree that it is something that is worked on after the gymnast has mastered the walkover.
@dunno ,.. I don't understand your comment? what about "The Garden Trampoline"?

Hi,
I'm currently writing books about gymnastics. Right now, I'm working on three books "Shoulder Flexibility", "Back Walkover" and "Front Walkover". I'm about 90% done with all three books.
I base my books on my own experience as a coach. I also talk to a lot of coaches about the subject at...
@Arron, yes there will come stretches for the upper body,.. more specific the shoulders. I'm also writing a book about shoulder flexibility. I'm almost done with the book about splits (the book is currently being reviewed by physiotherapist).
Don't know exactly when the illustrations will be...
I found that many gyms have different names for the same stretches. I also found that many websites state incorrect muscles affected by a stretch.
I would love to hear your opinion. I have create a page with a gallery of stretches which are all numbered. I would like to hear what you think the...
I just uploaded all my illustrations for the headstand (basics). Take a look: http://onegymnast.com/?page_id=808
Enjoy,
Peter
PS: If anyone has a special training technique that I have not included then please tell me about it. I would love to make the illustrations for it.
I have created some comic strips about gymnastics. I hope you all enjoy them.

If anybody has some good ideas about a sketch to a comic strip then contact me.
enjoy,
Peter
I created another little comic strip. Was a little hard to write the text to make the point that both are parallel. If anybody has any suggestions to what the text bubbles should be then please tell me and I might changed them.
Hi All,
just wanted to add my two cents.
I have the same problem at my gym (but not so much early drop offs)... I have gymnasts that come late and sometimes parents that are 20-30 minutes late to pick-up.
I found the best solution is not to penalize them with fines or extra charges, but to...
Hi,
For the tumbling part I would everything included here: Level 1 » Tumbling Drills
Also including videos:

I'm a coach in Denmark, teaching Power Tumbling to kids in my free-time. I have 4 teams I teach and use around 17 hours a week teaching them. Our tumbling team are #1 in Denmark, which I'm very proud of.
I work everyday at a company creating 3D software simulations for the military, teaching...
