The art of "tissue," or "aerial fabric," requires muscles and strength different from any other sport. At a special circus school in Los Angeles, amateurs can learn the art of the flying trapeze or tissue. It's an exhilarating feeling to be able to fly, but it takes an enormous amount of effort to remain in the air. Impact looks at how circus sports have brought peace of mind to some of the school's students.
