The mushroom

Basic skill

• The mushroom has become an integral part of pommel horse training. Most gyms have far more mushrooms than pommels horses.
• When teaching circle work on a muchroom be sure that the circles are extended and counterturned (The hips are turned slightly opposite the circle direction).
• The "front" of the circle should not be directly forward from the gymnast but slightly earlier.
