Gladius – Equestrians

The roots of vaulting are hidden somewhere between ancient Roman festival entertainment and the practice of “La Voltige”; the training of knights in the middle Ages. Noblemen mastered artistic and athletic riding skills during the Renaissance period. Coordinating with the loping motion of their horses, Gladius sits, kneels, stands, and spins through a pattern of exquisite strength exercises.
