MAG selective adult gymnastics men

[dagog]

hey,
wanted to ask how relastic it is to start gymnastic as an adult,while focusing on high bars and pbars.
with a goal of just picking up some c skills and not going for full routine?

Sure. You’ll need to find The right coach and gym. You’ll also need to be open to learning basic non-tumbling floor skills in order to learn the body positions for pbars and highbar skills.

There is definitely old-school thinking and elitism present in the gymnastics community, but there's an increasing amount of open mindedness and progressive thinking imo.

Your goal is very reasonable to me - best bet is probably to find a college that participates in NAIGC and join their club. Next best would be to find a gymnastics gym that offers open gym - it's reasonable that you can find someone working out at open gym to point you in the right direction, especially when you have the specific goal of C-skills on 2 events.

thanks for the encouragement.
i have a place in mind and wanted to get some strength and conditioning first, to not waste peoples time.
i am following david tilly on youtube. and he comes from a place of culture changing in gymnastics.
really interesting to see gymnastics in this future of "open mindedness and progressive thinking"
