6 Calisthenics Skills to Learn with Gymnastic Rings

Beautiful family, today we’re diving into 6 ring skills to explore this year. Some of these might already be familiar, what I call the classic skills, inspired by gymnastics and calisthenics. Others, though, fall into what I refer to as contemporary skills, born out of creativity and exploration. Each skill comes with 3 levels of progressions from beginners to advanced, so no matter where you are in your journey, there’s an entry point for you.

his is about more than just strength. It’s about expanding your perspective on what rings can offer beyond the linear movements you see in traditional training. It’s about stepping into the infinite possibilities of movement.
