Beautiful Strength

​

The word calisthenics comes from the ancient Greek words Kalos (κάλλος), which means "beauty" and sthenos (σθένος),meaning "strength" so calisthenics literally translates to

beautiful strength. If you have seen some of the static holds and dynamic movements we call strength flow we can do, I am sure you will agree that is exactly what it is.

​

Statics Holds

The term static means lack of movement but in calisthenics we take it a lot further, without going into too much of the Biomechanics behind, we use leverages (levers) and fulcrums (pivot points) and a lot of strength to manipulate our centers of gravity to hold the iconic  gravity defying holds we perform. 

​

Strength Flow 

Strength flow is the art of moving cleanly or transitioning from static hold to static hold, at its heart it is essentially a performance of strength, muscular control and endurance and to us it really defines the term beautiful strength. 

​

Freestyle 

Freestyle is another sub-section that makes up this brilliant sport, it is all the high flying, swinging, spinning, flipping, catching that you see on social media platforms. This is the part of calisthenics that gets all the hype and is one of the most fun bits to do but requires a lot of fundamental strength to be performed cleanly and safely. 

​

Overview 

At Primal Eden we focus on all aspects of calisthenics but particularly emphasize on the fundamentals of clean strict form and building a solid foundation before progressing. This ensures the rate of injury is minimized and is a lot more of a professional and  methodical approach to this complex beautiful up and coming sport.
