) I had tons of fun. We first did some warm ups. Then we did forward rolls (which I could do but I must still remember to keep my chin to my chest!), handstands (which I was helped on, previously I wasn't), cartwheels (I was shown a new way to do it and it works so much better now). Then we got onto the tramp and tried tuck somersaults. As I was a beginner, they used those blocks for me ^_^. In the end, we got to bars where the coach taught us a glide swing. I'm not sure if it's a glide swing. We basically 'dropped' off from the jumping board with our hands on the low bar and in a slight pike position, swung forward till our bodies were straight out and swung back. Afterwards, I did a few pullovers. OVerall, I think this was the best gym session I've been to so far. I've just got a question. We were talking about grips just now and one of them said that they've been waiting for the boss of the gym to bring the grips in for ages now and were thinking of buying it themselves. One classmate gave us two websites. AMCO Australia and Gymnastics Supplies WA. I am only a beginner gymnast and the only things I do on bars right now are the swing thing (which I think it's a glide swing), a pullover and I've tried tap swings on the high bar before. What kind of grips should I get for myself? And do I need a wrist guard? Thanks!! I've just got a question.

but maybe you mean wrist guards like what people wear for tumbling and stuff?? if that's the kind of wrist guards you mean, and not the cloth bands that you put under your grips, then i really can't advise you, because i've never used wrist guards. :/ if your wrists are sore after handstands, is it because you didn't stretch them enough? if i take a break from gym and haven't done handstands in awhile it takes a couple of classes and stretching my wrists to get them used to it and then they stop hurting. what does your coach think you should get?

But for the stuff you are doing, palm grips would be great if you wanted some. That is just my opinion though. Ten-o has palm grips, as does GK elite, and come to think of it, so does alpha factor. But you can just google them if you want. And you would want wrist bands too. You mentioned sore wrists, it seems the most used wrist guards(when you are tumbling or vaulting) are Tiger Paws brand. Never used them myself, so I can't offer an opinion. Your wrists are probably going to be sore until you strengthen them up anyway
