Circus- like acrobatics were performed in ancient Egypt. In the 2nd century BC, men and women of Minoan Crete developed the art of bull leaping. In bull leaping the performer would run toward a charging bull, grab its horn and upon being tossed into the air, execute various midair stunts before landing on the bull’s back and dismount with a flip. The Chinese have probably performed such stunts even before this time. TREY research In Ancient Greece, three distinct programs of gymnastic exercise were developed: 1. For maintenance of good physical condition 2. For military training 3. As part of the conditioning regime for athletes TREY research  They coined the word “gymnastics” from the word “gymnos” meaning “naked art”. They built elaborate complexes known as “gymnasia” for their physical education training. The philosophers of Greece, Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates would go into the gym where they would exercise their bodies and debate philosophy to exercise their minds. The attitude of those early gymnasts was a “sound mind in a sound body.” With the gathering of young and old alike, the gymnasia were more like a town hall than just a gym. TREY research  In 776 BC, the Greeks held the first Olympic Games, which was a festival dedicated to their God Zeus. In this game, there was only a foot race of 200 yards. The games continued for about 1,100 years with boxing, wrestling, throwing, jumping, and weightlifting added. The Olympic Games were finally abolished by the Roman Emperor Theodosius in 392 AD. TREY research  By 500 BC the Persians had developed the side horse (pommel horse) as a training devise for their cavalry to learn mounts, dismounts, and swinging movements for combat on speeding horse during battle. Even up to just 50 years ago, the side horse had a raised neck and a croup (end) like a real horse. TREY research  The Romans were a battle-tough people who conquered the known world. After their conquest of Greece, they adopted gymnastics as their own and developed it into a more formal sport. Gymnastic system designed to give strength for military combat were used extensively by the Romans. Their practical nature turned sport into warfare. TREY research  Gypsies are believed to have arrived in Europe from northern India in the 1400s. They were called Gypsies because Europeans thought they came from Egypt. This ethnic minority is made up of distinct groups called “tribes” or “nations”. The Sinti and Roma spoke dialects of a common language called Romani, based in Sanskrit, the classical language of India. Many Sinti and Roma traditionally worked as craftsmen, such as blacksmiths, cobblers, tinkers, horse dealers, and toolmakers. Others were performers, such as musicians, circus, animal trainers, and dancers.
