ACF Calisthenics Technical Guide

The Technique Guide has been developed to support consistent, safe and well-aligned movement across all levels of calisthenics. It brings together the key technique expectations for the foundational movements used throughout our sport, with clear descriptions, teaching points, and video demonstrations.

This resource is designed to assist coaches, performers, adjudicators and examiners in understanding the correct execution of movements and the principles behind them. It complements the Calisthenic Skills Program and aims to promote safe progression, strong fundamentals and shared national standards. This is the foundation for safeguarding all participants.

The Technique Guide will continue to evolve over time, with updates informed by the Examiners Advisory Board and ongoing review of best practice across the sport.
