Monarch gymnastics club specialises in Acrobatic gymnastics. Acrobatic gymnastics is a spectacular sport. A cross between traditional competitive gymnastics and the type of acrobatics you might see in a circus. The five disciplines are mixed pairs, women’s pairs, men’s pairs, women’s trios and men’s fours.
Acrobatic gymnastics is a thrilling sport to watch, and while international level acrobatic gymnasts perform some of the most complex skills you could imagine, beginner and developing gymnasts also get a great deal from the sport too, learning valuable motor skills and how to work together in groups.
