Club Swinging is the most difficult
skill a calisthenic pupil will learn. It
requires no special physical attributes, just pure
determination and lots of practise. A team of
8-10 pupils are required to execute complex swings
in unison with perfect rhythm in a planing
action.
Rhythm is a very important aspect, as
each arm and club swing independently of the other,
so exact rhythm is extremely important. Advanced
routines will also include pupils to move through
various patterns and execute leg movements as well.
An excellent performance of club
swinging can hold an audience breath-taken and a
single murmur will not be heard. This photograph demonstrates performers
in perfect unison.
