The Vision

Stunt Gymnastics is a coed program. As a gymnastic discipline all students train skills
that develop strength and flexibility. The training develops individual characteristics for the
body, soul and spirit:

Stunt Gymnastics for Body, Soul and Spirit

Training for life

Alexander's School of Acrobatics is not just about P.E. The program is meant to develop young boys and girls into men and women of God.

...exercise yourself rather unto godliness. (1 Tim 4:7 KJV)

Stunt Gymnastics is a means to an end, not an end unto itself. The means is fun and interesting for the children to participate in, and the ends are healthy adults in body, soul and spirit.

... and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless (1 Thes 5:23 KJV).

Body

Stunt Gymnastics trains as individuals and partners. The training develops children into strong and flexible adults with agility and hand-eye coordination.

Body Weight The program is not a weight loss program. Proper dieting [we do not provide that guidance], and exercises slims bodies.
Endurance is sport specific. Both aerobic and anaerobic conditioning is provided to increase endurance.
Strength training emphasizes the arms and abdomen. Because the children are growing, tone is emphasized more than bulk, so as not to interfere with their natural development.
Flexibility training prevents injury and increases the range of motion that the body can move. Any child who trains in acrobatics will be adept in adapting to any other sport.
Balance A good sense of balance is the foundation to body, hand and eye coordination.
Agility and Coordination are developed through spatial awareness. In acrobatic stunting, spatial awareness begins with a good sense of balance. First they must know who and what is around them. Second they must know where their body parts are. Confusion impedes agility and coordination.

Soul

Acrobatic Stunting is a thinking activity. The training is more to do with the mind, than with the body. Success in the stunts requires the students to think.

Mind - students have to think about what their bodies are doing and where it is in space. With partners, students need to think about what their partners are doing. When they learn and perform routines, they have to think about the sequence of dance and stunts, the timing of the music, and how to express themselves.
Will - True strength is in the will. Acrobatic Stunting develops their will power. Concentration, toughness to endure pain and discomfort and courage to face the fear of injury is an act of the will. "therefore have I set my face like a flint." (Isa 50:7 KJV) A strong will is needed to do that which is right.
Emotions - acrobatic stunts demand a clear head, and controlled emotions. Self control of the emotion of fear. Fear is good for it brings caution. Panic, however, is a loss of self control and can cause catastrophic injuries. In a performance routines are to be expressive of people, not just demonstrations of stunts. Students are trained in emoting.

Spirit

Acrobatics develops spiritual growth in the functions of the intuition, communion and conscience in the students.

Intuition. When complex movements are trained, their performances move from the neurological to the intuitive. There is no time to think in the brief moment one is airborne. Athletes learn to move by their gut instincts which is the work of intuition. Learning to be sensitive to one's intuition is to be sensitive to one's spirit.
Communion joins us with others by the spirit. Communing with people is the path to learning how to commune with God. Acrobatic Stunting is a team sport, hence teaches students how to get along
- Trust and faith are spouses. Confidence is their child. Self confidence comes with the mastery of skills. Trust and faith comes when partners prove their concern for one another.
- Forgiveness keeps the partners together. Mistakes happen. Partners who learn to forgive one another stay together.
- Cooperation is the heart of partner stunts. It is team work. Stunts that are hard for one person to do, become easier when cooperating with another.
- Commitment is dying in our nation today. Success in the higher levels is in the long term training. That means sticking it out with a good partner. This is a life skill that carries into marriage.
Conscience is more evident in competition. Competition has two sides. One is excellence. The other exalts the flesh with pride. Students learn to do what is right.

In the End

When all is said and done, every student and athlete will leave the training. The strength and flexibility gained through training will be the first thing to deteriorate. The muscles will become soft and flabby, the joints will become stiff, and the beauty will fade. But those traits developed in the soul and spirit will remain, and strengthen with time. Athletes will leave with a confidence to face the challenges of life because they overcame the challenges in acrobatics. Your children, too, will walk stronger with the Lord because of the acrobatic stunt training.
