Around 2003 I read the book 'Secrets of Soviet Sports & Fitness Training', today is called 'Russian Secrets....
Dr. Yessis wrote the book in the early 70s, before I was born I believe.

Another thing –
brought my rings to the local park with me yesterday while enjoying time with my kids. Within minutes there was a group of kids around us wanting to try them out and having a great time doing basic gymnastics.
Never, ever underestimate the drive of play and the drive of curiosity within kids. Cant explain why todays parents and society neglect these awesome features of human nature and lets kids abilities shrink under facebook, twitter and computer games.
Rant over, …

within the first few minutes of the first video …. saw one of my wrestling coaches from McMaster University … Anatoli Belaglasov was my coach in the early 90’s. Unreal power for a 52 kilo guy. Just being around a guy like that changed your attitude and work ethic at every training session…
