Pravilo is an apparatus for suspension callisthenics training based on a system of expansion, stretching, decompression and conditioning.
History
The concept of Pravilo comes from the Cossacks. Through suspension training, they became stronger, healthier, more efficient, and better warriors. Today’s technical solutions are slightly different, e.g., using modern pulleys and winches.
Pravilo is part of an ancient Cossack’s martial arts practice known today as “Systema”.
Device Design
Several versions of Pravilo are currently being used. These include lifting by winches, weight balance, or fixed ropes. Construction typically involves a standalone metal or wooden frame, although some practitioners use a dedicated room with hooks attached to the ceiling or even on trees.
