In this article, I detail some ideas on integrating basic gymnastics skills and training with other types of old school calisthenics, as well as martial arts training methods. Unlike modern calisthenics, which commonly treats such exercises as endurance building activities or warmups, the old school body weight training methods offer progressive training for high levels of full body functional strength and athletic skill. Such training commonly requires little to no special equipment except your own body weight.
