See what others say about the DVD Acrobatics for Everybody
I enjoyed viewing Acrobatics For Everybody a great deal. Mr. Kurz'
voice-over translation is unhurried and relaxed, and the un-rehearsed
nature of the practice sessions made me feel as though I were right in
in the gym in Poland! Although some of the athletes were of above
average ability in my opinion (perhaps I have been in the US for too
long ;-) ) many were of average ability just as described in the video's
promotional description. I found this segment of the video encouraging
and motivating me for review the Tumbling DVD. The inclusion of both
male and female athletes (some quite attractive) also made for easy
viewing :) )
The inclusion of the PE Class for the Handstand is a very nice addition.
It is a great plus to see the additional exercises used to this end (to
complement those seen in the Tumbling DVD) just as Mr. Kurz describes,
but something I particularly enjoyed was having an opportunity to see
how a European PE class is run with this age group. In my experience, it
can be difficult to convey in words the differences in training in
Europe vs training in the US. Consequently, the sequence of exercises,
the exacting nature of the purpose and finality of the activities
chosen, the instructor's demeanor, all were components of value upon
viewing. Although I am no longer coaching, I still enjoyed viewing this
material and am certain it would benefit current athletic coaches of all
levels.
Overall, I believe the video compliments and bundles very well with the
Acrobatic Tumbling DVD, and I would recommend it to coaches (and
certainly athletes) interested in improving their skill set.

I think it is excellent!... It reminded me of how physical education has
either been eliminated or seriously watered down in our schools in the
USA.... Especially, as compared to Central and Eastern Europe. Being
aware of how the physical fitness of our youth and adults has so
seriously deteriorated in the USA, there is no doubt that this kind of a
product from STADION is seriously needed here for our youngsters and
adults as well as for those interested in athletics and martial arts.
It also reminded me of when I was a child and then years later when I
was a director of the American Turners organization in Rochester, NY, 40
years ago. We had two excellent coaches in our gymnastics program from
Central Europe, and how parents supported our program even with the
better PE programs in our schools back then. Today, when our kids need
even more of those types of programs they no longer exist. I hope your
DVD's in this area of physical education can help to fill the huge gap
that now exists and can help to build back some of the fitness and
health for our kids and adults.
