Build Super Human Strength
Everybody is always after the magic Calisthenics pill. The ‘quick’ way to short cut the hard work and hours which ultimately lead to the ‘skill set’ you desire. Whilst I can not offer you a short cut as such, I can share Three things. Three things that, if I had my time again I’d focus on a lot more! Three areas, which in my opinion will lead to faster Calisthenics progression.
Firstly one must escape the notion of labelling skills
Beginner
Intermediate

A complete novices view on Calisthenics and how to get inspired! By Bennett Martin
All The Calisthenics Gear – No Idea.
A term usually reserved for fakers in hugely expensive Italian designer jackets and trainers (sneakers). But this time we are talking about fitness, specifically calisthenics equipment.
A base level of fitness is without doubt a prerequisite to Calisthenics, you just won’t be able to go from zero to hero without mangling your body.

Our TOP TIPS on the slippery slopes of Kung Fu training by Bennett Martin
Development in Kung Fu, Calisthenics or anything for that matter is always jam packed full of ups and downs, good days / bad days. One step forward, two steps back. In martial arts it’s 100% a physically and mentally demanding rollercoaster.
Learn things inside out!
The basics, foundation or fundamentals of a kung fu style / system can never be undervalued or overlooked. Most importantly, repetition is a key part of improvement.

Although Advance Calisthenics isometric holds were pretty new to me, the idea of using ones body to weight with wasn’t. I’ve many years under my belt of Martial Arts training. This starting in the late 80s studying karate and present day i’m teaching and training Wing Chun Kung Fu.
THE BEGINNING
Most of my early phase of training was spent in church halls. No fancy equipment like i have the luxury of now at the ‘London wing chun academy’. Therefore we always utilized our body weights during warms up. From bog standard ‘Press ups’ to tougher variations such as ‘archer’ ‘explosives’ and ..read more

A beginner tutorial, in my opinion has got to be exactly that. An introduction into to the wonderful world of Calisthenics. A complete guide to increasing strength mobility and flexibility.
There are some channels out there doing just this, absolute brilliant work!
However, there are also people ‘miss selling’ ‘Training programs’. We’ve all seen these, ‘Learn to Planche in a month’ or ‘Front Lever in 30 days’. While this is totally impossible as these hold require solid basics and time served conditioning of ligaments and tendons. They are also selling the impossible dream to those lon ..read more

Forget the hype around the latest fad diets, forget all the the advice on how to get that ‘beach body’ in 48 hours. The main thing gym goers ‘new’ and ‘old’ want to focus on is their Etiquette within the training area.
Currently we thought it would be a fun idea to share with you some of what we feel are ‘GYM Etiqutte FAILS’. Whilst some are just down right funny, they can also lead to bad feeling or even conflict within the gym space.
