Individual stunts
Stunts
- Stunts are activities in the form of play that test oneself in terms of flexibility, agility,
balance, coordination, strength and endurance. Stunts can also be activities that serve as
conditioning exercises and they can also be an introduction to some gymnastics skills and
tumbling skills.
- The circle formation is considered the best formation in teaching stunts because it enables
the students to closely watch the teachers ‘demonstration and in turn the teachers can
closely monitor also the accuracy of the students‘ performance. This is likewise
important to avoid accident.
