From the Horse's Mouth

Fresh off Georges St-Pierre's win at UFC 154 last night I thought I'd share a video that's been floating around the "gymnastics internet" for a couple of years now regarding GSP's inclusion of men's gymnastics training in his regimen.

George St-Pierre's unique training regimen - YouTube Video

"Gymnasts are the best athletes in the world. They can do movements nobody in the world can do." - GSP

"If you take ten athletes from ten different sports, and make each athlete play each one of the sports, on average the guy who's going to do the best in all the sports is the gymnast." - GSP's Trainer

Thanks to Elke Reissing for passing this along.

Winter Training Schedule

Sunday December 16th: Christmas Show

Monday December 24th to Tuesday January 1st: Christmas Break

Last Call for Tracksuits

New provincial/national athlete tracksuits will be ordered this week, so a final call is being put out for anyone who needs a new track suit ordered to please let David know by Wednesday evening. Tracksuits will only be ordered once this year, so if you think that your son may outgrow his before the end of the competitive season now is the only time to purchase a new one before next season.

On that note, anyone who has an old tracksuit or pre-comp/interclub jogging suit in good condition that they wish to sell please contact David (dsmith@tumblers.ca) with the sizes of the garments so that a list of available pieces can be assembled.

Athlete of the Month - October

Each month one athlete in the Tumblers Men's Pre-Comp and Competitive program will be awarded the title "Athlete of the Month". This award is intended to recognize athletes who demonstrate a strong work ethic on a daily basis, and exceptional dedication to the sport of gymnastics.

This month's inaugural award has been given to Joshua Aziake in Abdou's MAG 10 interclub group. Josh has received a gift certificate from Baskin Robbins, he will also have his picture on display in the lobby through the month of November.

Congratulations Josh!

Halloween

There will be no training on Halloween (Wednesday October 31st) for David's MAG 6 group, Abdou's MAG 10 group, and Karine's MAG 16 B group.

Happy Halloween!
