What are CALISTHENIC EXERCISES AND FLEXIBILITY TRAINING?
Calisthenic Exercises cover a wide range and include exercises and training drills geared toward general body development. These exercises are invaluable in developing coordination and control as well as preventing injury through systematic strengthening and nourishing of various body tissues and organs. Flexibility Training is designed to gently and progressively increase the functional range of motion in the joints and tissues. Flexibility exercises tend to focus on specific areas of the body. In martial arts, we learn to understand and improve the function of every part of the body. By developing and maintaining good flexibility, one is able to maximize control and precision in movement and potential for power, increase the aesthetic level of movement, and improve one’s health.
