Arrow Rings

Traverse the attachments using only the rings.

Arrow Rings

Arrow rings challenge your grip strength, timing, and coordination as you move by swinging the rings onto the arrow-shaped hooks. Keep your core tight and let your hips create a smooth forward swing. Aim the ring onto the hook — don’t try to muscle it. Look at the next hook before you move and commit to the swing. To train for it, practice ring swings for rhythm, dead hangs for grip endurance, and controlled hip-drive drills (like on monkey bars or rings) to make transitions smooth and confident.
