Old pictures in a book De Arte Gymnastica by Hieronimus Mercurialis makes my little bit sad.Rome could not be saved, and Galen's medical gymnastics slept in the subconsciousness of Western culture for 1,300 years until Girolamo Mercurialis awakened restorative arts in his 6-volume De Arte Gymnastica, a treatise on preventive and therapeutic gymnastics publishing.
De Arte Gymnastica ultimately helped carry, western culture for over 1 300 years, restorative arts across Europe. But there where great cruelty it also came according to here.
Someone said, it doesn't get any more `old school´ than De Arte Gymnastica published in 1569 by Hieronimus Mercurialis. This is the oldest book ever written on physical training. It describes exercises as practiced by the classical Greeks and Romans
The value of walking, throwing the discus, climbing ropes, training with heavy balls (i.e. Medicine Balls) and, as seen in the wood cut above, dumbbells and heavy stone tablets so called plummets, history's first known odd object lifting.
American physical culture, accordind to a writer Louise Staples Cobb, has been shaped by a multitude of ethnic forces, but the German and Swedish systems of physical education provided initial and primary influence to American physical education in `higher education´ and consequently the entire patriotical American educational system.
Seeing all that I came back in my mind. My old scool by street address at The broherhood in War Street, is still there - and specily there I got my some kind of fascist school education. I did go over the violence and physical fighting in my past life, but how their say, ones again. It's all dark side of the life to me, witch some one I do not need.
